Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Sleuth


Sleuth is an easy way to pull data from an EVM-compatible blockchain, allowing for complex queries, similar to an ethers-multicall. Sleuth works by deploying a smart contract and then invoking it in an eth_call. This allows you to use complex logic to pull data from many contracts or other items such as eth_chainId or eth_blockNumber, which you can use for data analysis or in your Web3 front-end. For example:

MyQuery.sol [Note: this is not deployed, and is never deployed]

// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.16;

contract BlockNumber {
    function query() external view returns (uint256) {
        return block.number;
    }
}

MyView.ts

import { Sleuth } from '@compound-finance/sleuth';

let blockNumberQuery = await Sleuth.querySol(fs.readFileSync('./MyQuery.sol', 'utf8'));
let sleuth = new Sleuth(provider);
let blockNumber = await sleuth.fetch(blockNumberQuery);

You can also use pre-compiled contracts (e.g. if you check in the compilation artifacts from solc).

MyView.ts

import { Sleuth } from '@compound-finance/sleuth';

let blockNumberQuery = await Sleuth.querySol(fs.readFileSync('./out/MyQuery.json', 'utf8'));
let sleuth = new Sleuth(provider);
let blockNumber = await sleuth.fetch(blockNumberQuery);

Sleuth Query Language [Experimental]

Sleuth also comes with a full query language, similar to SQL. You can specify contracts and load data from them. This is a WIP and subject to change.

import { Sleuth } from '@compound-finance/sleuth';

let sleuth = new Sleuth(provider);

// Add a source so the query language knows the shape of the contracts you'll be querying.
sleuth.addSource("comet", "0xc3d688B66703497DAA19211EEdff47f25384cdc3", ["function totalSupply() returns (uint256)"]);

// Build a query
let q = sleuth.query<[ BigNumber ]>("SELECT comet.totalSupply FROM comet;");

// Fetch the data
let [ totalSupply ] = await sleuth.fetch(q);

or all in one:

import { Sleuth } from '@compound-finance/sleuth';

let sleuth = new Sleuth(provider);

console.log(await sleuth.fetchSql(`
  REGISTER CONTRACT comet AT 0xc3d688B66703497DAA19211EEdff47f25384cdc3 WITH INTERFACE ["function totalSupply() returns (uint256)"];
  SELECT comet.totalSupply FROM comet;
`));

There's a lot more work in Sleuth Query Language to do, mostly around allowing you to pull in multiple "rows" since that's a core aspect of SQL, but for one-off queries, it's quite fun!

Getting Started

Install Sleuth:

yarn add @compound-finance/sleuth

# npm install --save @compound-finance/sleuth

Next, simply build a Solidity file and build Sleuth, as above, to execute the query. E.g.

import { Sleuth } from '@compound-finance/sleuth';

let sleuth = new Sleuth(provider);

let [name, age] = await sleuth.query(`
// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity ^0.8.16;

contract SimpleQuery {
    function query() external pure returns (uint256, string memory) {
        return (55, "Bob Jones");
    }
}
`);

Future Considerations

Instead of having users build solidity files, it might be nice to build a proper query language. This could be SQL-like or ORM-style or anything that compiles to say Yul (the intermediate representation used by Solidity). We could then abstract the interface to something interesting, such as:

await sleuth.query("SELECT comet.name FROM comet(0xc3...) WHERE comet.id = 5");

There's so much we could do here and it sounds really fun!

Parser

There's an early version up and running, which you can use with Sleuth. See /parser for more information.
