[Geth](https://learnblockchain.cn/2017/12/01/geth_cmd_short) 提供了realtime event接口,通过websocket 链接节点之后,发送
`{"id": 1, "method": "eth_subscribe", "params": ["newPendingTransactions"]}`可以得到实时的pendingTransactions的hash.
## 今天梳理下,对应部分的代码来讲讲这部分的工作原理.相应的代码 主要涉及三个个文件 `eth/filters/api.go`,`eth/filters/filter_system.go`,`eth/backend.go`
入口从`func (s *Ethereum) APIs() []rpc.API` 开始.再早些的代码逻辑不在本次的讨论范围内.
```golang
func (s *Ethereum) APIs() []rpc.API {
	apis := ethapi.GetAPIs(s.APIBackend, s.blockchain)

// Append any APIs exposed explicitly by the consensus engine
	apis = append(apis, s.engine.APIs(s.BlockChain())...)

// Append all the local APIs and return
	return append(apis, []rpc.API{
                ...
		 {
			Namespace: "eth",
			Version:   "1.0",
			Service:   filters.NewPublicFilterAPI(s.APIBackend, false, 5*time.Minute, s.config.RangeLimit),
			Public:    true,
		}, 
                ...}}}
```
## NewPublicFilterAPI(s) 新建了一个PublicEthereumAPI 协议的对应,并注册到APIs中关于Geth的api协议.
```golang
// NewPublicFilterAPI returns a new PublicFilterAPI instance.
func NewPublicFilterAPI(backend Backend, lightMode bool, timeout time.Duration, rangeLimit bool) *PublicFilterAPI {
	api := &PublicFilterAPI{
		backend:    backend,
		events:     NewEventSystem(backend, lightMode),
		filters:    make(map[rpc.ID]*filter),
		timeout:    timeout,
		rangeLimit: rangeLimit,
	}
	go api.timeoutLoop(timeout)

return api
}
```
`api.timeoutLoop` 这里的这个goruntime 就是控制事件订阅超时关闭的工作,逻辑不在本次讨论范围内.
在创建PublicFilterApi的是成员events 由 NewEventSystem 创建.该实例管理了监听事件的启动和过滤
```golang
//filter_system.go  
func NewEventSystem(backend Backend, lightMode bool) *EventSystem {
	m := &EventSystem{
		backend:       backend,
		lightMode:     lightMode,
		install:       make(chan *subscription),
		uninstall:     make(chan *subscription),
		txsCh:         make(chan core.NewTxsEvent, txChanSize),
		logsCh:        make(chan []*types.Log, logsChanSize),
		rmLogsCh:      make(chan core.RemovedLogsEvent, rmLogsChanSize),
		pendingLogsCh: make(chan []*types.Log, logsChanSize),
		chainCh:       make(chan core.ChainEvent, chainEvChanSize),
	}

// Subscribe events
	m.txsSub = m.backend.SubscribeNewTxsEvent(m.txsCh)
	m.logsSub = m.backend.SubscribeLogsEvent(m.logsCh)
	m.rmLogsSub = m.backend.SubscribeRemovedLogsEvent(m.rmLogsCh)
	m.chainSub = m.backend.SubscribeChainEvent(m.chainCh)
	m.pendingLogsSub = m.backend.SubscribePendingLogsEvent(m.pendingLogsCh)

// Make sure none of the subscriptions are empty
	if m.txsSub == nil || m.logsSub == nil || m.rmLogsSub == nil || m.chainSub == nil || m.pendingLogsSub == nil {
		log.Crit("Subscribe for event system failed")
	}

go m.eventLoop()
	return m
}
```
`EventSystem.install` 监听新增的订阅事件ws连入的时候,通过install <- 来创建一个新的订阅
`EventSystem.uninstall`销毁阅订阅事件的管道
`EventSystem.txsCh`交易发生变换时写入的管道
其他的与`newPendingTransactions`没有太大关系,这里就不提及了
`m.txsSub = m.backend.SubscribeNewTxsEvent(m.txsCh)`这行代码,新建一个NewTxsEvent订阅,pool中交易发生变化时,会写入到txsCh.
`go m.eventLoop()`主要的生命周期goruntime,负责处理收到的信息,并分发给对应的filters

```golang
//filter_system.go 
// eventLoop (un)installs filters and processes mux events.
func (es *EventSystem) eventLoop() {
	// Ensure all subscriptions get cleaned up
	defer func() {
		es.txsSub.Unsubscribe()
                ...
	}()

index := make(filterIndex)
	for i := UnknownSubscription; i < FullPendingTransactionsSubscription; i++ {
		index[i] = make(map[rpc.ID]*subscription)
	}

for {
		select {
		case ev := <-es.txsCh://新交易handler
			es.handleTxsEvent(index, ev)
		...
		case f := <-es.install: //新建订阅
			if f.typ == MinedAndPendingLogsSubscription {
				// the type are logs and pending logs subscriptions
				index[LogsSubscription][f.id] = f
				index[PendingLogsSubscription][f.id] = f
			} else {
				index[f.typ][f.id] = f
			}
			close(f.installed)

case f := <-es.uninstall: //取消订阅
			if f.typ == MinedAndPendingLogsSubscription {
				// the type are logs and pending logs subscriptions
				delete(index[LogsSubscription], f.id)
				delete(index[PendingLogsSubscription], f.id)
			} else {
				delete(index[f.typ], f.id)
			}
			close(f.err)

// System stopped
		case <-es.txsSub.Err():
			return
		case <-es.logsSub.Err():
			return
		case <-es.rmLogsSub.Err():
			return
		case <-es.chainSub.Err():
			return
		}
	}
}
```
`index`的数据类型是 `type filterIndex map[Type]map[rpc.ID]*subscription`可以理解为一个二维数组[x,y]x表示的是订阅的类型,y表示rpc session的唯一标识.虽然他是个map,但是完全可以用二维数组的思维理解.下面是所有的Type,即订阅的类型.newPendingTransactions 对应的订阅事件类型是`PendingTransactionsSubscription`
```

const (
	// UnknownSubscription indicates an unknown subscription type
	UnknownSubscription Type = iota
	// LogsSubscription queries for new or removed (chain reorg) logs
	LogsSubscription
	// PendingLogsSubscription queries for logs in pending blocks
	PendingLogsSubscription
	// MinedAndPendingLogsSubscription queries for logs in mined and pending blocks.
	MinedAndPendingLogsSubscription
	// PendingTransactionsSubscription queries tx hashes for pending
	// transactions entering the pending state
	PendingTransactionsSubscription
	// BlocksSubscription queries hashes for blocks that are imported
	BlocksSubscription
	// LastSubscription keeps track of the last index
	LastIndexSubscription
)
```
`es.handleTxsEvent(index, ev)`为处理txsch 事件的处理函数,txsch实际上是一个`[]*types.Transaction`来看下对应的代码

```
//filter_system.go
func (es *EventSystem) handleTxsEvent(filters filterIndex, ev core.NewTxsEvent) {
	hashes := make([]common.Hash, 0, len(ev.Txs))
	for _, tx := range ev.Txs {
		hashes = append(hashes, tx.Hash())
	}
	for _, f := range filters[PendingTransactionsSubscription] {
		f.hashes <- hashes
	}
}
```
直接从ev中copy Hashes之后全部写入到 `index[PendingTransactionsSubscription]`的`subscription.hashes`.即当前所有存活的类型为`PendingTransactionsSubscription`订阅者.事件分发的部分到上面这里就结束了.下面来看看用户是如何创建一个新订阅的
```golang
//eth/filters/api.go
// NewPendingTransactions creates a subscription that is triggered each time a transaction
// enters the transaction pool and was signed from one of the transactions this nodes manages.
func (api *PublicFilterAPI) NewPendingTransactions(ctx context.Context) (*rpc.Subscription, error) {
	notifier, supported := rpc.NotifierFromContext(ctx)
	if !supported {
		return &rpc.Subscription{}, rpc.ErrNotificationsUnsupported
	}

rpcSub := notifier.CreateSubscription()

gopool.Submit(func() {
		txHashes := make(chan []common.Hash, 128)
		pendingTxSub := api.events.SubscribePendingTxs(txHashes)

for {
			select {
			case hashes := <-txHashes:
				// To keep the original behaviour, send a single tx hash in one notification.
				// TODO(rjl493456442) Send a batch of tx hashes in one notification
				for _, h := range hashes {
					notifier.Notify(rpcSub.ID, h)
				}
			case <-rpcSub.Err():
				pendingTxSub.Unsubscribe()
				return
			case <-notifier.Closed():
				pendingTxSub.Unsubscribe()
				return
			}
		}
	})

return rpcSub, nil
}
```
    当向rpc发送这个订阅命令的时候
`{"id": 1, "method": "eth_subscribe", "params": ["newPendingTransactions"]}`最后 调用的就是上面的NewPendingTransactions的方法.主要的核心逻辑看这里
`txHashes := make(chan []common.Hash, 128)`创建了一个读写的128容量的common.Hash 类型的管道,
`pendingTxSub := api.events.SubscribePendingTxs(txHashes)`创建一个新的PendingTxs订阅,该方法会将,创建好的subscription通过下面的subscribe方法发送给install,进行注册,即我们上文提到的index
```golang
// subscribe installs the subscription in the event broadcast loop.
func (es *EventSystem) subscribe(sub *subscription) *Subscription {
	es.install <- sub
	<-sub.installed
	return &Subscription{ID: sub.id, f: sub, es: es}
}
```
 在for循环中等待读取 txHashes的消息,即`subscription.hashes`然后通过
 `notifier.Notify(rpcSub.ID, h)`返回给对应RPC.ID的ws session.
 
 到这里基本上就结束了,另外还有退出订阅一些接口,就不讲了.我看过几个版本的Geth,该版本是bsc 最新的release版本,之前也有看过Heco的geth版本但是也是老早之前的事情,不同版本的Geth在这方面的实现上有差异,但是基本流程差不多.看这个目的是为了`FullPendingTransactionsSubscription`监听交易的时候不用再去查一次,交易的详细数据.效果如图
