Templates

Templates help get you started faster by copying contract addresses, ABIs, and deployment blocks from an existing source.

Etherscan contract link

The --from-etherscan option accepts a link to an Etherscan contract page. See here (opens in a new tab) for a full list of supported Etherscan deployments.

Subgraph ID

The --from-subgraph-id option accepts a deployment ID for a subgraph that has been deployed to the hosted service. This template will copy schema.graphql as well as the addresses, ABIs, and start blocks for each event source defined in the subgraph's subgraph.yaml.

Subgraph repo

The --from-subgraph-repo option accepts a path to a subgraph directory on your local machine. If your subgraph has been deployed to the hosted service, use --from-subgraph-id instead.
