SubQuery Network

SubQuery announces version 3 of its core SubQuery SDK, the leading open-source indexer used by developers across more than 100 ecosystems to provide custom data APIs to their applications. SubQuery is a fast, flexible, open-source indexer that also runs on the decentralised SubQuery network, providing its customers with a superior and faster development experience.Version 3.0 adds some major improvements to SubQuery that have been requested and developed in partnership with key customers in the SubQuery ecosystem. It centres on SubQuery’s goals of providing the fastest, most reliable, easiest to develop, and most fully featured decentralised data indexer in web3.Project Codegeneration and ScaffoldingIn our recent announcement, we introduced the beta version of our newest feature designed to enhance efficiency for developers — project scaffolding. With the release of v3 of our SDK, this feature has undergone meticulous bug fixes and enhancements, ensuring its readiness for seamless integration into production environments.The scaffolding feature lets developers autogenerate the key boilerplate for an entire SubQuery project off a single smart contract definition.SubQuery will generate a project manifest and function facades for the selected events or transaction types from your smart contracts during setup, saving you from writing a boilerplate. It simplifies the process and ensures type safety in your project, making it a game-changer for SubQuery developers.It works for abi-based smart contracts in Ethereum and Cosmos.

For example, with typescript in your favourite code editor, you can see documentation and types for each field as you code your manifest file — easy!You can see an example of this change here <a href="https://github.com/subquery/subql-starter/pull/91/files?ref&#61;blog.subquery.network" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/subquery/subql-starter/pull/91/files</a><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/0*xuyNO_mIMOW4DgGw" />Improved Store Methods for retrieving dataMany customers have requested improved data retrieval store operations so they have more flexibility when accessing their data from the store database from within their mapping functions.We’ve listened and added a new getter that is highly flexible and allows an unlimited amount of AND filters to get the exact data you need for your mapping functions.

They would also have to trust that third-party indexers do the same and maintain the same configuration.We wanted to let SubQuery developers enforce certain running parameters, e.g. unsafe mode or historical indexing, so that when a third-party indexer runs the project, they run it in the exact same way as the developer intended for it to be.You can see the docs here for node runner options: <a href="https://academy.subquery.network/build/manifest/ethereum.html?ref&#61;blog.subquery.network#runner-node-options" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://academy.subquery.network/build/manifest/ethereum.html#runner-node-options</a>Additionally, developers can enforce that certain changes to their projects happen at a specific block height <a href="https://academy.subquery.network/build/project-upgrades.html?ref&#61;blog.subquery.network" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://academy.subquery.network/build/project-upgrades.html</a>SummaryCodegeneration rapidly shortens the development time of each SubQuery project, and means new users can get started with correct boilerplate for their custom contracts in seconds. With the change of our manifest to typescript, we are able to add more advanced configuration to our projects while making it easier for new developers to use and experiment with. With advanced store functions, developers can also make more optimal queries from within their mapping functions, e.g. when aggreating historical data for a given type. Finally, allowing developers to define project configuration and scheduled upgrades gives developers the confidence that indexers will run the project in the exact way they require it.These four new key features, including many other bug fixes, rewrites, and others come together to contribute to web3’s most flexible and performant decentralised data indexer.
