History Tools Starter Kit

Source​

The History Tools Starter Kit is a robust package that implements the components of History Tools with dependencies such as MongoDB and eosjs. This inclusive package contains file dependencies for each process, namely: bootstrap, reader, filter, and processor.

Additionally, it encompasses data layer implementations for common components such as Abis, BlockRangeScanner, BlockState, Ship etc., which are integral to the mentioned above processes. The History Tools package contains the logic and domain layer implementation, while this Starter Kit presents the data layer implementation.

Essentially, the History Tools Starter Kit equips you with a ready-to-use framework for leveraging the power of History Tools. While History Tools can be employed with other dependencies, this Starter Kit offers a seamless experience for those seeking to utilize MongoDB and eosjs. Therefore, if your project necessitates these dependencies, this Starter Kit is your ideal starting point.

Dependencies​

This package is dependent on the following packages:

Installation​

To add History Tools to your project, use the following command with your favorite package manager:

yarn add @alien-worlds/history-tools-starter-kit

Common Components​

In the Common folder you will find all data layer implementations related to MongoDB collections or eosjs tools. This includes mappers for transforming documents to entities and vice versa, service implementations, and various types. These resources are conveniently available for direct use when creating the components for your project.

To further enhance ease-of-use, this package provides creators that take the heavy lifting out of creating an instance of each component. The creators automate the construction process, resulting in an efficient and streamlined development experience. The specific list of available creators :

  • AbisCreator
  • BlockRangeScanner
  • BlockReaderCreator
  • BlockStateCreator
  • BlockchainServiceCreator
  • FeaturedContractsCreator
  • ProcessortaskQueueCreator
  • ShipAbisCreator
  • UnprocessedBlockQueueCreator

The use of these creators is very simple, just call the static create method and provide the expected arguments

// An example of creating an instance of the UnprocessedBlockQueue using a dedicated creator
const unprocessedBlockQueue = await UnprocessedBlockQueueCreator.create(
  mongoSource,
  { ...config }
);

More information about individual components can be found in this repository @alien-worlds/aw-history.

Processes​

The remaining folders name correspond to the history tools processes and contain the necessary dependencies files. These files contain Dependencies classes that are initialized within the process or worker loader of the process.

  1. Bootstrap: Requires DefaultBootstrapDependencies passed to the bootstrap command. Dependencies:

    • BroadcastClient
    • Abis
    • BlockRangeScanner
    • FeaturedContracts
    • BlockState
    • BlockchainService

  2. Reader: Requires DefaultReaderDependencies passed to the reader command. Dependencies:

    • BroadcastClient
    • BlockRangeScanner

    The second file is ReaderWorkerLoaderDependencies which is instantiated in the worker loader and the path to this file is given in DefaultReaderDependencies. Dependencies:

    • BlockRangeScanner
    • BlockReader
    • BlockState
    • UnprocessedBlockQueue

  3. Filter: Requires DefaultFilterDependencies passed to the filter command. Dependencies:

    • BroadcastClient
    • UnprocessedBlockQueue

    The second file is FilterWorkerLoaderDependencies which is instantiated in the worker loader and the path to this file is given in DefaultFilterDependencies. Dependencies:

    • ProcessorTaskQueue
    • Abis
    • ShipAbis
    • FeaturedContracts
    • AntelopeSerializer

  4. Processor: Requires DefaultProcessorDependencies passed to the processor command. Dependencies:

    • BroadcastClient
    • ProcessorTaskQueue
    • Featured<ContractTraceMatchCriteria>
    • Featured<ContractDeltaMatchCriteria>

    The second file is ProcessorWorkerLoaderDependencies which is instantiated in the worker loader and the path to this file is given in DefaultProcessorDependencies. Dependencies:
