title: Aggregate Data Using Subgraph Composition
sidebarTitle: 'Build a Composable Subgraph with Multiple Subgraphs'
---

Optimize your Subgraph by merging data from three independent, source Subgraphs into a single composable Subgraph to enhance data aggregation.

> Important Reminders:
>
> - Subgraph composition is built into the CLI, and you can deploy with [Subgraph Studio](https://thegraph.com/studio/).
> - This feature requires `specVersion` 1.3.0.

## Overview

Subgraph composition empowers you use one Subgraph as a data source for another, allowing it to consume and respond to entity changes. Instead of fetching on-chain data directly, a Subgraph can listen for updates from another Subgraph and react to changes. This is useful for aggregating data from multiple Subgraphs or triggering actions based on external updates.

Is "empowers you use" correct? Should it be "empowers you to use"?

Also, I think we use "onchain" instead of "on-chain", but I'm not 100% sure.


## Prerequisites

To deploy **all** Subgraphs locally, you must have the following:

- A [graph-node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) instance running locally

Nitpick, but I feel like if we write it "graph-node" it should be inline code, but if we write it "Graph Node" it should be regular text. What do you think? So I'm proposing either:

Suggested change
- A [graph-node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) instance running locally
- A [`graph-node`](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) instance running locally

or

Suggested change
- A [graph-node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) instance running locally
- A [Graph Node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) instance running locally

(Note that we use "Graph Node" below, on line 34.)

- An [IPFS](https://docs.ipfs.tech/) instance running locally
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and npm

## Get Started

The following guide provides examples for defining three source Subgraphs to create one powerful composed Subgraph.

### Specifics

- To keep this example simple, all source Subgraphs use only block handlers. However, in a real environment, each source Subgraph will use data from different smart contracts.
- The examples below show how to import and extend the schema of another Subgraph to enhance its functionality.
- Each source Subgraph is optimized with a specific entity.
- All the commands listed install the necessary dependencies, generate code based on the GraphQL schema, build the Subgraph, and deploy it to your local Graph Node instance.

### Step 1. Deploy Block Time Source Subgraph

This first source Subgraph calculates the block time for each block.

- It imports schemas from other Subgraphs and adds a `block` entity with a `timestamp` field, representing the time each block was mined.
- It listens to time-related blockchain events (e.g., block timestamps) and processes this data to update the Subgraph's entities accordingly.

To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the following commands:

```bash
npm install
npm run codegen
npm run build
npm run create-local
npm run deploy-local
```

### Step 2. Deploy Block Cost Source Subgraph

This second source Subgraph indexes the cost of each block.

#### Key Functions

- It imports schemas from other Subgraphs and adds a `block` entity with cost-related fields.
- It listens to blockchain events related to costs (e.g. gas fees, transaction costs) and processes this data to update the Subgraph's entities accordingly.

To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the same commands as above.

### Step 3. Define Block Size in Source Subgraph

This third source Subgraph indexes the size of each block.

#### Key Functions

- It imports existing schemas from other Subgraphs and adds a `block` entity with a `size` field representing each block's size.
- It listens to blockchain events related to block sizes (e.g., storage or volume) and processes this data to update the Subgraph's entities accordingly.

I guess this one doesn't need to be deployed locally? (It doesn't say "To deploy this Subgraph locally, run the same commands as above")

Same for the 4th one?


### Step 4. Combine Into Block Stats Subgraph

This composed Subgraph combines and aggregates the information from the three source Subgraphs above, providing a unified view of block statistics.

> Note:
>
> - Any change to a source Subgraph will likely generate a new deployment ID.
> - Be sure to update the deployment ID in the data source address of the Subgraph manifest to take advantage of the latest changes.
> - All source Subgraphs should be deployed before the composed Subgraph is deployed.

#### Key Functions

- It provides a consolidated data model that encompasses all relevant block metrics.
- It combines data from three source Subgraphs, and provides a comprehensive view of block statistics, enabling more complex queries and analyses.

## Key Takeaways

- This powerful tool will scale your Subgraph development and allow you to combine multiple Subgraphs.
- The setup includes the deployment of three source Subgraphs and one final deployment of the composed Subgraph.
- This feature unlocks scalability, simplifying both development and maintenance efficiency.
