If you use config.json file the specified file must have the following structure (in TypeScript notation):

}

enum FilterOrConversion {
    OR_OPERATOR = "or-operator",
    SUB_QUERIES = "sub-queries",
}

Command line parameters and ENV variables with "databases" at the end of description accept comma-separated list of database urls (described below). E.g.:

Q_ACCOUNTS: accounts_db_url
Q_BLOCKS_HOT: blocks_00_url,blocks_01_url,blocks_10_url,blocks_11_url

Zerostate database defaults to the first database in hot blocks databases. Db config must be specified in the form of URL:

    `[https://][user:password@]host[:8529][/path][?[name=blockchain][&maxSockets=100][&listenerRestartTimeout=1000][&resultCacheTTL=0]]`

Parameters:

Run

node index.js

Connectivity

Q-Server is accessible with GraphQL HTTP/WebSocket protocol on port "4000" and path "/graphql".

There is the only valid way to communicate with Q-Server – EverX Labs Client Libraries.

StatsD

Q-Server reports several StatsD metrics if it is configured with statsd option:

    Metric                       Type     Tags             Description
    ---------------------------  -------  ---------------  -------------------------------------------------------------
    qserver.start                counter  collection=name  Incremented for each start.
                                                           Contains the `version` tag.

    qserver.doc.count            counter  collection=name  Incremented for each db event (document insert/update)

    qserver.post.count           counter                   Incremented for each node request

    qserver.post.failed          counter                   Incremented for each failed node request

    qserver.query.count          counter  collection=name  Incremented for each db query

    qserver.query.failed         counter  collection=name  Incremented for each failed db query

    qserver.query.slow           counter  collection=name  Incremented each time when q-server has encountered
                                                           slow query

    qserver.query.time           timer    collection=name  Reported each time when q-server has finished
                                                           query handler from SDK client

    qserver.request.duration     timer                     Reported each time when q-server has finished
                                                           HTTP request from SDK client

    qserver.query.active         gauge    collection=name  Updated each time when q-server has started and finished
                                                           query handler from SDK client

    qserver.subscription.count   counter  collection=name  Incremented for each subscription start

    qserver.stats.error.internal counter                   Incremented for each internal server error

Q-Server can report additional tags with help of optional parameter Q_STATSD_TAGS.

Adding Indexes

If you need to add or change or remove index in Arango Db you must change following files:

How to determine which index required to serve some slow query.

Let look to SLOW query reported by q-server log.

messages QUERY {"filter":{"src":{"eq":"..."},"dst":{"eq":"..."},"value":{"ne":null},"OR":{"src":{"eq":"..."},"dst":{"eq":"..."},"value":{"ne":null}}},"orderBy":[{"path":"created_at","direction":"DESC"}],"limit":1}

First, lets extract collection, filter and orderBy:

collection: messages
filter: {"src":{"eq":"..."},"dst":{"eq":"..."},"value":{"ne":null},"OR":{"src":{"eq":"..."},"dst":{"eq":"..."},"value":{"ne":null}}}
orderBy:[{"path":"created_at","direction":"DESC"}]

Next, reduce filter and order by:

collection: messages
filter: src:{eq},dst:{eq},value:{ne},OR:{src:{eq},dst:{eq},value:{ne}}
orderBy: created_at DESC

Next, separate filter by OR on several filters:

collection: messages
filter: src:{eq},dst:{eq},value:{ne}
filter: src:{eq},dst:{eq},value:{ne}
orderBy: created_at DESC

Next, remove duplicated filters:

collection: messages
filter: src:{eq},dst:{eq},value:{ne}
orderBy: created_at DESC

Next, collect fields from filter and order by into index (filter fields must be placed first in any order, then fields from orderBy in same order as in orderBy:

collection: messages
filter: src:{eq},dst:{eq},value:{ne}
orderBy: created_at DESC
index: src,dst,value,created_at

For Developers

IMPORTANT!!!

FIRST. If you have modified source code you need to compile it:

npm run tsc

This will regenerate file in dist folder.

SECOND. If you want to modify scheme of database, you must do it only in one place: db-schema.ts. After that you need to generate source code for a graphql type definitions and for resolvers JavaScript code. You must do it with:

npm run tsc
npm run gen
npm run tsc

Yes, you need too run tsc twice :(.

By default tests connect to Arango on [http://localhost:8901]

Configuration

Configuration priority is follows:

Program args > Config file > ENVs > defaults

Reload config

QServer can reload config file without an actual restart by handling SIGHUP signal.

Required at least one of --config or env Q_CONFIG to be set at server start

Run q-server in docker for development

If you want to run q-server in docker do the following:

  1. Compile source files
npm install
npm run tsc
  1. Build docker image
docker build . -t qserver
  1. q-server needs other available resources (like ArangoDB and node). The easiest way to provide them is to run Evernode SE as a docker image:
$ everdev se start
$ everdev se set --db-port 8901

Wait a bit (sometimes it takes up to 2 minutes) and check if the ArangoDB web interface is available at http://localhost:8901.

  1. Create and run a new container (change 192.168.122.1 to your IP address)
docker run --rm -d \
    -p 4000:4000 \
    -e Q_REQUESTS_MODE=rest \
    -e Q_REQUESTS_SERVER=192.168.122.1 \
    -e Q_DATA_MUT=http://192.168.122.1:8901 \
    -e Q_DATA_HOT=http://192.168.122.1:8901 \
  qserver

GraphQL playground must be available on http://localhost:4000/graphql
