@ubiquity/rpc-handler

This packages leverages Chainlist's network RPC list to return the lowest latency provider from the list for any given network ID.

Features

  • Returns the lowest latency provider for a given network ID
  • Drops bad endpoints from the list and creates a runtime/local storage cache
  • Can re-test the cached RPCs by calling handler.getFastestRpcProvider()
  • Can be used in both the browser and Node.js
  • Fully configurable and extendable
  • Only uses endpoints which Chainlist report as tracking no data (see extraRpcs.js)

Installation

yarn add @ubiquitydao/rpc-handler

Usage

  • Import the handler for your environment
Browser
import { HandlerConstructorConfig } from "@ubiquity/rpc-handler/dist/esm/src/handler";
import { RPCHandler } from "@ubiquity/rpc-handler/dist/esm/src/rpc-handler";

export function useHandler(networkId: number) {
  const config: HandlerConstructorConfig = {
    networkId,
    autoStorage: true,
    cacheRefreshCycles: 5,
  };
  // No RPCs are tested at this point
  return new RPCHandler(config);
}
import { useHandler } from "./rpc-handler";
const handler = useHandler(networkId);

// Now the RPCs are tested
app.provider = await handler.getFastestRpcProvider();
Node.js
import { HandlerConstructorConfig } from "@ubiquity/rpc-handler/dist/cjs/src/handler";
import { RPCHandler } from "@ubiquity/rpc-handler/dist/cjs/src/rpc-handler";

const config: HandlerConstructorConfig = {
  networkId: 100;
  autoStorage: false, // only applies to local storage
  cacheRefreshCycles: 5,
};

async function main() {
  const handler = new RPCHandler(config);
  return await handler.getFastestRpcProvider();
}

main().then(console.log).catch(console.error);

Notes

  • The RPCs are not tested on instantiation, but are tested on each call to handler.getFastestRpcProvider() or handler.testRpcPerformance()

  • networkId is the only required configuration option

  • See the full config object (optionally passed in the constructor) for more options

  • Local storage is not enabled by default, but can be enabled by passing autoStorage: true in the config object

  • The cacheRefreshCycles is the number of roundtrips made before clearing the cache and re-testing all RPCs again

Testing

  • In order to run the tests the package must first be built, this is required otherwise networkRpcs will be empty as the RPCs are injected at build time
yarn test
