Flipside Utility Functions

Dbt repo for managing the Flipside Utility Functions (FSC_UTILS) dbt package.

Variables

To control the creation of UDF or SP macros with dbt run:

• UPDATE_UDFS_AND_SPS When True, executes all macros included in the on-run-start hooks within dbt_project.yml on model run as normal When False, none of the on-run-start macros are executed on model run

Default values are False

• Usage: dbt run --var 'UPDATE_UDFS_AND_SPS": True' -m ...

Dropping and creating udfs can also be done without running a model:

dbt run-operation create_udfs --var 'UPDATE_UDFS_AND_SPS": True' --args 'drop_:false'
dbt run-operation create_udfs --var 'UPDATE_UDFS_AND_SPS": True' --args 'drop_:true'

Adding the fsc_utils dbt package

The fsc_utils dbt package is a centralized repository consisting of various dbt macros and snowflake functions that can be utilized across other repos.

1. Navigate to the create_udfs.sql macro in your respective repo where you want to install the package.
2. Add the following:

{% set name %}
{{- fsc_utils.create_udfs() -}}
{% endset %}
{% do run_query(sql) %}

3. Note: fsc_utils.create_udfs() takes two parameters (drop_=False, schema="utils"). Set drop_ to True to drop existing functions or define schema for the functions (default set to utils). Params not required.
4. Navigate to packages.yml in your respective repo.
5. Add the following:

- git: https://github.com/FlipsideCrypto/fsc-utils.git

6. Run dbt deps to install the package
7. Run the macro dbt run-operation create_udfs --var '{"UPDATE_UDFS_AND_SPS":True}'

Overview of Available Functions

UTILS Functions

• utils.udf_hex_to_int: Use this UDF to transform any hex string to integer

  ex: Curve Swaps
  
  SELECT
      regexp_substr_all(SUBSTR(DATA, 3, len(DATA)), '.{64}') AS segmented_data,
      utils.hex_to_int(segmented_data [1] :: STRING) :: INTEGER AS tokens_sold
  FROM
      optimism.core.fact_event_logs
  WHERE
      topics [0] :: STRING IN (
          '0x8b3e96f2b889fa771c53c981b40daf005f63f637f1869f707052d15a3dd97140',
          '0xd013ca23e77a65003c2c659c5442c00c805371b7fc1ebd4c206c41d1536bd90b'
      )
  

• utils.udf_hex_to_string: Use this UDF to transform any hexadecimal string to a regular string, removing any non-printable or control characters from the resulting string.

  ex: Token Names
  
  WITH base AS (
  SELECT
      '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005452617265202d204368616e74616c20486167656c202d20576f6d656e2773204575726f2032303232202d2032303232205371756164202d20576f6d656e2773204e6174696f6e616c205465616d202d2032303232000000000000000000000000' AS input_token_name
      )
  
  SELECT 
      utils.udf_hex_to_string(SUBSTR(input_token_name,(64*2+3),LEN(input_token_name))) AS output_token_name
  FROM base;
  
  NOTE: The expression 64 * 2 + 3 in the query navigates to the 131st character of the hexadecimal string returned by an EVM blockchain contract's function, skipping metadata and adjusting for Snowflake's 1-based indexing. Keep in mind that the exact start of relevant data may vary between different contracts and functions.
