title: Aggregate Data Using Subgraph Composition | ||
sidebarTitle: 'Build a Composable Subgraph with Multiple Subgraphs' | ||
--- | ||
|
||
Optimize your Subgraph by merging data from three independent, source Subgraphs into a single composable Subgraph to enhance data aggregation. | ||
|
||
> Important Reminders: | ||
> | ||
> - Subgraph composition is built into the CLI, and you can deploy with [Subgraph Studio](https://thegraph.com/studio/). | ||
> - This feature requires `specVersion` 1.3.0. | ||
## Overview | ||
|
||
Subgraph composition empowers you to use one Subgraph as a data source for another, allowing it to consume and respond to entity changes. Instead of fetching onchain data directly, a Subgraph can listen for updates from another Subgraph and react to changes. This is useful for aggregating data from multiple Subgraphs or triggering actions based on external updates. | ||
|
||
## Prerequisites | ||
|
||
To deploy **all** Subgraphs locally, you must have the following: | ||
|
||
- A [Graph Node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) instance running locally | ||
- An [IPFS](https://docs.ipfs.tech/) instance running locally | ||
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and npm | ||
|
||
## Get Started | ||
|
||
The following guide provides examples for defining three source Subgraphs to create one powerful composed Subgraph. | ||
|
||
### Specifics | ||
|
||
- To keep this example simple, all source Subgraphs use only block handlers. However, in a real environment, each source Subgraph will use data from different smart contracts. | ||
- The examples below show how to import and extend the schema of another Subgraph to enhance its functionality. | ||
- Each source Subgraph is optimized with a specific entity. | ||
- All the commands listed install the necessary dependencies, generate code based on the GraphQL schema, build the Subgraph, and deploy it to your local Graph Node instance. | ||
|
||
### Step 1. Deploy Block Time Source Subgraph | ||
|
||
This first source Subgraph calculates the block time for each block. | ||
|
||
- It imports schemas from other Subgraphs and adds a `block` entity with a `timestamp` field, representing the time each block was mined. | ||
- It listens to time-related blockchain events (e.g., block timestamps) and processes this data to update the Subgraph's entities accordingly. | ||
|
||
To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the following commands: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
npm install | ||
npm run codegen | ||
npm run build | ||
npm run create-local | ||
npm run deploy-local | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Step 2. Deploy Block Cost Source Subgraph | ||
|
||
This second source Subgraph indexes the cost of each block. | ||
|
||
#### Key Functions | ||
|
||
- It imports schemas from other Subgraphs and adds a `block` entity with cost-related fields. | ||
- It listens to blockchain events related to costs (e.g. gas fees, transaction costs) and processes this data to update the Subgraph's entities accordingly. | ||
|
||
To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the same commands as above. | ||
|
||
### Step 3. Define Block Size in Source Subgraph | ||
|
||
This third source Subgraph indexes the size of each block. To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the same commands as above. | ||
|
||
#### Key Functions | ||
|
||
- It imports existing schemas from other Subgraphs and adds a `block` entity with a `size` field representing each block's size. | ||
- It listens to blockchain events related to block sizes (e.g., storage or volume) and processes this data to update the Subgraph's entities accordingly. | ||
|
||
### Step 4. Combine Into Block Stats Subgraph | ||
|
||
This composed Subgraph combines and aggregates the information from the three source Subgraphs above, providing a unified view of block statistics. To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the same commands as above. | ||
|
||
> Note: | ||
> | ||
> - Any change to a source Subgraph will likely generate a new deployment ID. | ||
> - Be sure to update the deployment ID in the data source address of the Subgraph manifest to take advantage of the latest changes. | ||
> - All source Subgraphs should be deployed before the composed Subgraph is deployed. | ||
#### Key Functions | ||
|
||
- It provides a consolidated data model that encompasses all relevant block metrics. | ||
- It combines data from three source Subgraphs, and provides a comprehensive view of block statistics, enabling more complex queries and analyses. | ||
|
||
## Key Takeaways | ||
|
||
- This powerful tool will scale your Subgraph development and allow you to combine multiple Subgraphs. | ||
- The setup includes the deployment of three source Subgraphs and one final deployment of the composed Subgraph. | ||
- This feature unlocks scalability, simplifying both development and maintenance efficiency. | ||
