TypeScript/AssemblyScript library for writing subgraph mappings to be deployed to
[The Graph](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node).

## Usage

For a detailed guide on how to create a subgraph, please see the
[Graph CLI docs](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-cli).

One step of creating the subgraph is writing mappings that will process blockchain events and will
write entities into the store. These mappings are written in TypeScript/AssemblyScript.

The `graph-ts` library provides APIs to access the Graph Node store, blockchain data, smart
contracts, data on IPFS, cryptographic functions and more. To use it, all you have to do is add a
dependency on it:

```sh
npm install --dev @graphprotocol/graph-ts # NPM
yarn add --dev @graphprotocol/graph-ts    # Yarn
```

After that, you can import the `store` API and other features from this library in your mappings. A
few examples:

```typescript
import { store, crypto } from '@graphprotocol/graph-ts'

// This is just an example event type generated by `graph-cli`
// from an Ethereum smart contract ABI
import { NameRegistered } from './types/abis/SomeContract'

// This is an example of an entity type generated from a
// subgraph's GraphQL schema
import { Domain } from './types/schema'

function handleNameRegistered(event: NameRegistered) {
  // Example use of a crypto function
  let id = crypto.keccak256(name).toHexString()

  // Example use of the generated `Entry` class
  let domain = new Domain()
  domain.name = name
  domain.owner = event.params.owner
  domain.timeRegistered = event.block.timestamp

  // Example use of the store API
  store.set('Name', id, entity)
}
```

## Helper Functions for AssemblyScript

Refer to the `helper-functions.ts` file in this repository for a few common functions that help
build on top of the AssemblyScript library, such as byte array concatenation, among others.

## API

Documentation on the API can be found
[here](https://thegraph.com/docs/en/developer/assemblyscript-api/).

For examples of `graph-ts` in use take a look at one of the following subgraphs:
