Usage

MassiveActionHandler

The MassiveActionHandler uses massive-js to interact with a Postgres database for storing internal demux state and state calculated by Updaters. Rollback of state due to forks is supported by committing all database writes to per-block databases transactions, and utilizing Cyan Audit to reverse those transactions in reverse order when needed.

Setup

In order to instantiate a MassiveActionHandler, four arguments are needed:

handlerVersions: This is an array of HandlerVersions. For more information, see the demux-js documentation.
massiveInstance: A connected massive database connection object. demux-js-postgress requires that you have a Postgres server running version 9.6 or greater. It is highly recommended that you use the massive object exported from this library. See below for more information. For more information on how to configure and instantiate this object, see the massivejs documentation.
dbSchema: The name of the schema we will operate in.
migrationSequences: (See next section below)

Note About Using Massive.js

Massive.js depends on pg-promise, and this package is very sensitive to any version changes of this dependency (even patch releases!). To help make it easier to align versions, it is recommended that you do not depend on Massive.js directly, and instead use the massive object exported from this package:

import { massive } from 'demux-postgres'

// or

const { massive } = require('demux-postgres')

You can then use this object as if you had imported from Massive.js itself.

If you are getting a TypeError: Invalid query format. error, you may have misaligned pg-promise versions!

Migrations

The MassiveActionHandler will manage all of the Postgres migrations relevant to demux operations. In addition to setting up all internal requirements (idempotently creating the specified dbSchema and required internal tables, installing/activating Cyan Audit), you may create additional migrations that run either at initial setup, or are triggered by an action at some point in the future. This is done by writing your migrations as SQL files, loading them via the Migration constructor, and collecting them into an array of MigrationSequences:

create_todo_table.sql

CREATE TABLE ${schema~}.todo (
  id int PRIMARY KEY,
  name text NOT NULL
);

migrationSequences.js

import { Migration } from "demux-postgres"

const createTodoTable = new Migration(
  "createTodoTable", // name
  "myschema", // schema
  "create_todo_table.sql", // SQL file
)

// MigrationSequence[]
// See: https://github.com/EOSIO/demux-js-postgres/blob/develop/src/interfaces.ts
module.exports = [{
  migrations: [createTodoTable],
  sequenceName: "init"
}]

You can then use this object for the migrationSequences argument of the MassiveActionHandler constructor.

Once you have instantiated the MassiveActionHandler, you can set up your database via the setupDatabase() method. If you have a MigrationSequence with the name "init", then this migration sequence will run after all other internal database setup is finished.

It can be useful to trigger migrations from actions (for example, when a contract updates), much in the same way it is useful to update HandlerVersions. You may do this from an Updater's apply function via db.migrate(<MigrationSequence.sequenceName>):

async function migrateDatabase(db, payload) {
  await db.migrate(payload.sequenceName) // Blockchain will determine when and what migrations will run
}

This is also important for maintaining determinism of data (e.g. during replays) if schema changes are needed.

Example

const { BaseActionWatcher } = require("demux")
const { MassiveActionHandler } = require("demux-postgres")
const { NodeosActionReader } = require("demux-eos") // Or any other compatible Action Reader

const massive = require("massive")

// See https://eosio.github.io/demux-js/ for info on Handler Versions, Updaters, and Effects
const handlerVersions = require("./handlerVersions") // Import your handler versions

// See "Migrations" section above
const migrationSequences = require("./migrationSequences")

// See https://dmfay.github.io/massive-js/connecting.html for info on massive configuration
const dbConfig = { ... }

massive(dbConfig).then((db) => {
  const actionReader = new NodeosActionReader("http://my-node-endpoint", 0)
  const actionHandler = new MassiveActionHandler(
    handlerVersions,
    db,
    dbConfig.schema,
    migrationSequences
  )
  const actionWatcher = new BaseActionWatcher(actionReader, actionHander, 500)
  actionWatcher.watch()
})
