This tutorial will guide you through creating a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) using the MinaNFT library. Follow these simple steps to mint your NFT.

Prerequisites​

  • Ensure you have the MinaNFT library installed.
  • You should have an image file ready to use as your NFT's visual representation.
  • Make sure you have your Pinata JWT for IPFS pinning.

Step-by-Step Guide​

1. Initialize Your NFT​

First, create a new instance of MinaNFT with a unique name for your NFT.

const nft = new MinaNFT({ name: `@test` });

2. Set the NFT Description​

Next, add a description to your NFT. You can use a long text and even Markdown for formatting.

nft.updateText({
  key: `description`,
  text: "This is my long description of the NFT. Can be of any length, supports markdown.",
});

3. Add an Image to Your NFT​

Now, update your NFT with an image. Provide the path to your image file and your Pinata JWT for IPFS pinning.

await nft.updateImage({
  filename: "./images/navigator.png",
  pinataJWT,
});

4. Mint Your NFT​

Finally, mint your NFT by providing necessary parameters like the name service, deployer, and owner information.

const tx = await nft.mint({
  nameService,
  deployer,
  owner,
  pinataJWT,
});

Congratulations! You have successfully created your NFT using MinaNFT.
