Substreams Sink Examples - Advanced

This example is similar to examples/basic with the difference that we use sink.NewFromViper to construct our instance which gives increase control on the sink for the operators in a "low-maintenance" fashion as the library deals with the flags and parsing. You will notice there is also less code to instantiate the sink.Sinker instance as more information is pulled from the flag.

Our example use our github.com/streamingfast/cli command definition which is just a thin wrapper around cobra and viper. Any cobra command should work with the library, there is no need to follow the CLI pattern.

Note

We highly recommend to use this example for any serious sink implementation!

To run the example:

# We assume you are in ./examples/advanced
go run . sink mainnet.eth.streamingfast.io:443 https://github.com/streamingfast/substreams-eth-block-meta/releases/download/v0.5.1/substreams-eth-block-meta-v0.5.1.spkg db_out

Note also the availability of go run . sink --help which gives you most configuration option for free:

$ go run . sink --help
Run the sinker code

Usage:
  sinker sink <endpoint> <manifest> [<output_module>] [flags]

Flags:
      --development-mode                 Enable development mode, use it for testing purpose only, should not be used for production workload
      --final-blocks-only                Get only final blocks
  -H, --header stringArray               Additional headers to be sent in the substreams request
  -h, --help                             help for sink
      --infinite-retry                   Default behavior is to retry 15 times spanning approximatively 5m before exiting with an error, activating this flag will retry forever
  -k, --insecure                         Skip certificate validation on gRPC connection
      --irreversible-only                Get only irreversible blocks (DEPRECATED: Renamed to --final-blocks-only)
      --live-block-time-delta duration   Consider chain live if block time is within this number of seconds of current time (default 5m0s)
  -n, --network string                   Specify network, overriding the default one in the manifest or .spkg
  -p, --params -p <module>=<value>       Set a params for parameterizable modules of the from -p <module>=<value>, can be specified multiple times (e.g. -p module1=valA -p module2=valX&valY)
      --plaintext                        Establish gRPC connection in plaintext
      --skip-package-validation          Skip .spkg file validation, allowing the use of a partial spkg (without metadata and protobuf definitons)
      --undo-buffer-size int             Number of blocks to keep buffered to handle fork reorganizations (default 12)
