ext-v2-token

Here is a quick guide for deploying ext-v2-token standard on Internet Computer.

1. Setup and local deployment

• yarn install
• dfx start
• dfx deploy --argument '(principal "your-minting-principal")'
• dfx ledger fabricate-cycles --all

Congrats! Now you've deployed backend canister locally and topped it up with some cycles. Take note of your canister ID.

2. Minting locally

• open mint_script.js, you will need to edit some variables
• isLocal switches between local and ic networks, should be set to true for local deployment
• minterSeed enter your principal seed phrase here (the one you deployed canister with in dfx deploy)
• canisterIdLocal enter your local canister id here
• set up paths to your images and thumbnails ( basePath, assetPathBase, thumbsPathBase )
• run node src/mint_script.js

After minting locally, and going to your canister id, for example -> http://127.0.0.1:8000/?canisterId=rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai&index=0 your asset may not display properly.

This is expected behavior as its referencing wrong url due to how local canisters are set up. If you go to developer tools -> elements in your browser, you will see this targeted url. Take note of asset canister id and index. If you open a new tab in browser and go to something like: http://127.0.0.1:8000/?canisterId=qvhpv-4qaaa-aaaaa-aaagq-cai&index=0 with your asset canister id, it should take you to correct asset.

Given that thumbnails are saved on collection canister, this should work: http://127.0.0.1:8000/?canisterId=rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai&index=0&type=thumbnail

3. Minting on IC

Now that you tested local deployment, you can proceed with minting on IC.

• dfx deploy --network ic --argument '(principal "your-minting-principal")'
• open mint_script.js again
• set isLocal to false
• set canisterIdIC to your IC deployed canister
• run node src/mint_script.js

Congratulations, your NFT's should now be deployed on IC network!
