Listener: Subscribe an internal service to any event
A Listener is a midpoint that listen for an event from a contract and makes an HTTP request based on the values from the event values.
As an example of a Listener, we will define a midpoint that sends Slack notification when a user borrows a token on Aave V2.
EVMEventEmittedSource:
- 1.Listen for the
deposit
event to be emitted - 2.Extract the sender, recipient address and amount to be send to the MakeHttpRequestTask
MakeHttpRequestTask:
- 1.Notify the user via Slack using a Slack webhook
$ npm install -g midpoint-cli
$ midpoint init blank my-listener
$ midpoint add-source evmEventEmittedSource listener-source
{
"evmEventEmittedSource": {
"chainId": "1",
"contractAddress": "0x7d2768dE32b0b80b7a3454c06BdAc94A69DDc7A9",
"eventName": "Borrow",
"arguments": [
{
"name": "reserve",
"datatype": "address",
"indexed": true
},
{
"name": "user",
"datatype": "address",
"indexed": true
},
{
"name": "onBehalfOf",
"datatype": "address",
"indexed": false
},
{
"name": "amount",
"datatype": "uint256",
"indexed": false
},
{
"name": "borrowRateMode",
"datatype": "uint256",
"indexed": false
},
{
"name": "borrowRate",
"datatype": "uint256",
"indexed": false
},
{
"name": "referral",
"datatype": "uint16",
"indexed": true
}
]
}
}
2. CallEvmFunction Task
$ midpoint add-task callEvmFunction get-erc20-name
{
"callEvmFunction": {
"chainId": "1",
"contractAddress": "{{reserve}}",
"functionName": "name",
"arguments": [],
"returnValues": [
{
"name": "erc20-name",
"datatype": "string"
}
]
}
}
3. MakeHttpRequest Task
$ midpoint add-task makeHttpRequest send-to-slack
$ midpoint add-secret <slack webhook url> WEB_HOOK_URL
{
"makeHttpRequest": {
"urlRaw": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/[[WEB_HOOK_URL]]",
"method": "POST",
"urlType": "raw",
"bodyType": "json",
"body": "{\"text\": \"The deposit function was called by {{user}} for {{amount}} on the Apecoin contract\"}"
}
}
We define our path file.
listener-source => get-erc20-name
get-erc20-name => send-to-slack
$ midpoint publish
