name	indexing-schema
description	Use when defining or editing schema.graphql. Entity types, scalar types, enums, relationships, @derivedFrom, @index, @config directives, array rules, naming conventions, and schema-to-TypeScript type mapping.

Schema Reference (schema.graphql)

Entity Rules

• Every type is an entity — no @entity decorator (unlike TheGraph)
• Must have id: ID! as first field
• Names: 1-63 chars, alphanumeric + underscore, no reserved words
• Use _id suffix for relationships: token_id: String! not token: Token!

Scalar Types

Schema Type	TypeScript Type	Notes
ID!	string	Required on every entity
String!	string
Int!	number
Float!	number
Boolean!	boolean
BigInt!	bigint	Use @config(precision: N) for custom precision
BigDecimal!	BigDecimal	Use @config(precision: N, scale: M)
Bytes!	string	Hex-encoded
Timestamp!	Date
Json!	any

Enums

enum Status {
  Active
  Inactive
  Paused
}

type Pool {
  id: ID!
  status: Status!
  allowedStatuses: [Status!]!  # enum arrays supported
}

@derivedFrom

Virtual reverse-lookup — cannot access in handlers, only in API queries:

type Pool {
  id: ID!
  swaps: [Swap!]! @derivedFrom(field: "pool")
}

type Swap {
  id: ID!
  pool_id: String!  # the FK field
}

The field argument must reference an _id relationship field on the derived entity.

@index

Single-field index for faster queries:

type Transfer {
  id: ID!
  from: String! @index
  to: String! @index
  timestamp: BigInt! @index
}

Composite index with optional DESC direction:

type Trade @index(fields: ["poolId", ["date", "DESC"]]) {
  id: ID!
  poolId: String!
  date: BigInt!
  volume: BigDecimal!
}

• Fields default to ASC; use ["field", "DESC"] for descending
• IDs and @derivedFrom fields are automatically indexed
• Only @index fields are queryable via context.Entity.getWhere()

@config

Customize precision for numeric types:

type Token {
  id: ID!
  totalSupply: BigInt! @config(precision: 100)
  price: BigDecimal! @config(precision: 30, scale: 15)
}

• BigInt default precision: 76 digits
• BigDecimal default: precision 76, scale 32

Array Rules

• Supported: [Type!]! — non-nullable elements, non-nullable array
• Not supported: [Type]! (nullable elements), nested arrays, [Boolean!]!, [Timestamp!]!
• Entity arrays require @derivedFrom — bare [Swap!]! without it causes a codegen error

Example

enum PoolType {
  UniswapV2
  UniswapV3
}

type Pool @index(fields: ["token0_id", "token1_id"]) {
  id: ID!
  poolType: PoolType!
  token0_id: String!
  token1_id: String!
  reserve0: BigInt!
  reserve1: BigInt!
  totalValueLocked: BigDecimal! @config(precision: 30, scale: 15)
  swaps: [Swap!]! @derivedFrom(field: "pool")
}

type Swap {
  id: ID!
  pool_id: String! @index
  sender: String! @index
  amount0In: BigInt!
  amount1In: BigInt!
  timestamp: BigInt! @index
}
