Contract notifier

Opt-in service to send email notifications when a contract event is emitted

Requirements

  • NodeJS (tested on node v10.16.0)
  • MongoDB
  • Yarn (recommended)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/status-im/contract-notifier
cd contract-notifier
yarn

Usage

Configuration

General

./config/index.js

  • PORT: port where the API will be available (default: 4000)
  • RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQ: Max number of connections during RATE_LIMIT_TIME milliseconds before sending a 429 response. (default: 1)
  • RATE_LIMIT_TIME: How long in milliseconds to keep records of requests in memory. (default: 15)
  • DB_CONNECTION: MongoDB connection string
  • BLOCKCHAIN_CONNECTION_POINT: URL string of an ethereum node. (default: http://localhost:8545)
  • SENDGRID_API_KEY: To send emails.
  • BLOCK_DELAY: Adds a delay in the number of blocks to avoid reorgs. (default: 6)
  • POLL_SLEEP: Interval of time wait for polling the chain for new events. (default: 30)
  • VALID_DAPPS: Array with known dapps in dapps/ folder

The ENV variable can be used to set these variables, as well as a .secret.json file.

Dapp

Each dapp should have their own configuration and templates to send emails. To add a dapp, create a folder inside ./dapps/ with the dapp name. Also, edit ./config/index.js to add the new dapp in VALID_DAPPS. (This will change with a proper dapp registry, to avoid this manual process)

Each dapp folder should have a config.js file and one or more .html and .txt templates. See ./dapps/teller-network/config.js for a sample config.

(TODO: document the config file)

Execution

  • To launch the API endpoint:
yarn api

API will be available in http://localhost:4000 or whatever port was configured

  • To launch the contract events mailer:
yarn watch
