Subgraph
Example locally hosted subgraph in Acala EVM+.
The Subgraph that we will establish in this example demonstrates how to establish your own Subgraph for projects running in the Acala EVM+.
NOTE: As this example focuses on Subgraph, we won't be analysing the smart contract used. If you wish to learn more about building smart contracts within Acala EVM+, please refer to our tutorials.
Setup
In order to be able to run the example, we need to run the local network first and then spin up the graph-node stack.
Spin up the local development network
You can read up on how to spin up the local development network in the documentation. For those that just want to get started with the Subgraph part, you need to use the following commands:
1
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:AcalaNetwork/bodhi.js.git
2
cd bodhi.js/evm-subql
3
yarn
4
yarn build
5
docker compose up
Copied!
Once the network converges (you should start seeing the evm-subql-mandala-node-1 start reporting that it's ready), open up another terminal and run the RPC adapter:
1
LOCAL_MODE=1 SUBQL_URL=http://localhost:3001 npx @acala-network/[email protected]^2.4.12
Copied!
Once you get the following output, your local development network and RPC adapter are ready:
1
  -------------------------------
2
  🔨 local development mode is ON
3
  ❌ don't use it for production!
4

Clone the example repository
Cloning this repository gives access to the Gravity smart contract as well as the migrations needed to deploy it. The truffle.js contains the required network configuration and the configuration files for a local subgraph node are included as well.
The example repository is available here: https://github.com/AcalaNetwork/subgraph-example​
1
git clone [email protected]:AcalaNetwork/subgraph-example.git
Copied!
To install the required dependencies simply use:
1
yarn
Copied!
This will install all of the dependencies needed to deploy the smart contract to Acala EVM+ and the dependencies required to spin up the subgraph.
The package.json contains scripts that allow for compilation and deployment of the smart contracts in the "scripts" section:
1
    "build-contract": "truffle compile",
2
    "deploy-contract": "truffle migrate --network mandala --reset"
Copied!
Subgraph
The definition of the subgraph lives within subgraph.yaml and doesn't differ from other subgraph definitions. You can learn more about subgraph definitions in the documentation.
The Gravatar is defined in the schema.graphql and doesn't differ from any schema designed for another environment. If you wish to learn more about building schemas, you can do so here.
The subgraph will live in the docker along with docker-hosted IPFS and Postgres. You can check out how the all of them connect to each other and to the already-running local development network in the docker-compose.yml.
Usage
In order to use the locally hosted subgraph, we need to spin up our Docker containers by using:
1
docker compose up
Copied!
Once the containers are running, you should see the following output:

We are now ready to deploy the local subgraph. The steps to deploy it can be separated into two distinct groups:
1.Build and deploy the Gravitar smart contract to Acala EVM+
2.Create and deploy the subgraph
Build and deploy the Gravitar smart contract to Acala EVM+
We can optionally reset the project by using the clean script:
1
    "clean": "rm -rf data/ generated/ build/ temp/ lib/ network.json"
Copied!
To be able to easily build the smart contract as well as deploy it, build-contract and deploy-contract scripts have to be added to package.json:
1
    "build-contract": "truffle compile",
2
    "deploy-contract": "truffle migrate --network mandala --reset"
Copied!
Running these scripts should succecssfully deploy the smart contract and populate the gravatars:
1
yarn clean             #optional
2
yarn build-contract
3
yarn deploy-contract
Copied!
Now that the smart contract has been successfully deployed, we can move on to deploying the subgraph.
Create and deploy the subgraph
Scripts to generate the Graph code, build it, create and deploy it need to be added to the package.json:
1
    "build-graph": "graph build",
2
    "create-local": "graph create acala/examplesubgraph --node http://127.0.0.1:8020",
3
    "remove-local": "graph remove acala/examplesubgraph --node http://127.0.0.1:8020",
4
    "deploy-local": "graph deploy acala/examplesubgraph --ipfs http://127.0.0.1:5001 --node http://127.0.0.1:8020"
Copied!
Running them should deploy the subgraph:
1
yarn codegen
2
yarn build-graph
3
yarn create-local
4
yarn deploy-local
Copied!
When running the deploy-local script, you can decide to specify the version of the subgraph, but for the example purposes accepting the default value should suffice:
1
yarn deploy-local
2
yarn run v1.22.19
3
$ graph deploy acala/examplesubgraph --ipfs http://127.0.0.1:5001 --node http://127.0.0.1:8020

As you can see, we can now interact with the locally deployed subgraph.
Quick build script
As an additionally supported script, we have added the run-all script to the package.json, which can be used to quickly deploy the smart contract as well as the locally hosted subgraph:
1
yarn run-all
2
yarn run v1.22.19

$ yarn build-all && yarn deploy-all

$ yarn clean && yarn build-contract && yarn codegen && yarn build-graph

Subgraph interaction
The playground is reachable at http://127.0.0.1:8000/subgraphs/name/acala/examplesubgraph/graphql. You can query the gravatars from the Gravity smart contract using the following query:
1
query {
2
  gravatars {
3
    id,
4
    displayName,
5
    imageUrl,
6
    owner

  }

}

The result should give information about three gravatars:
