Create a forc-indexer plugin

[ra0x3]

• Not much context here but we want a forc-indexer plugin that will auto-generate things like configs/assets/whatever
• Let's sync before anyone picks this up, as there is a bit more info to be flushed out

Forc Indexer Plugin

• Basically just a CLI util used to run simple commands against a remote/local index node

The below commands are inspired by the plugins section of the Sway book

Name: forc-index
Invocation: forc index [args] [opts]

Examples

• For now, the main idea is that these commands are just one-liners for basic/standard HTTP requests against some index node, as well as simple forc-like commands

forc index authenticate

• Unused, but would show how downstream users would authenticate against their index operator

forc index list indices -n com.fuel

• The above command would make a GET to /api/:namespace with the namespace -n being com.fuel
• Would return a JSON payload of available indices

List of supported commands

• forc index authenticate
  • Authenticate
• forc index list indices
  • List indices
• forc index deploy -n com.fuel -i my_index --manifest manifest.yaml --schema schema.graphql --module my_index.wasm
  • This would be the same as the asset upload described in the indexer book
• forc index stats --url https://index.stripe.com
  • If not doing authentication could also supply a --url to specify which hostname the command should be run against
• forc index new|init|deploy
  • init (new index in existing project), new (new project), deploy upload index
  • Similar to forc
• Can obviously add as many of these commands as we want 👌
