Solidity Tutorial – Learn how to Construct and Deploy an NFT Minting dApp

Introduction

This tutorial will information you on the best way to construct and deploy an NFT minting dApp with a Solidity good contract and ReactJS frontend.

When you’re new to writing good contracts with Solidity, we suggest you to take a look at How to build your first Smart Contract earlier than shifting on with this tutorial.

Conditions

This tutorial makes use of the next applied sciences:

• React
• Remix IDE
• Solidity
• Web3.js
• Moralis React SDK
• HTML and CSS

Earlier than you begin with this tutorial, it’s best to have an middleman understanding of React components, props and what smart contracts are.

What We’re Constructing

We’ll create and deploy an NFT minting good contract written in Solidity that’ll be linked to a React frontend utility.

An NFT minter or generator is a decentralized utility that converts a digital asset (e.g. piece of artwork) into an NFT, which is then accessible on an NFT market like OpenSea, the place the proprietor can put it on the market.

Upon finishing this tutorial, you will have an understanding of how NFTs are programmatically created, saved, and accessed on an NFT market.

How It Works

Take a look at the essential circulate of how our NFT minting dApp will operate beneath:

1. Minters will log into the dApp by connecting their pockets (e.g. Metamask).

2. They are going to then provide the identify, picture, and outline of the digital asset they need to mint.

3. Our NFT minter will flip the digital asset into an NFT after they click on the “Mint NFT” button.

4. All minted NFTs shall be listed on the OpenSea Testnet Market, the place everybody can view them and may also be placed on sale by their proprietor.

On this tutorial, we’re utilizing Testnet environments, though you may apply the identical steps whenever you’re able to deploy to a Mainnet community.

A Testnet community is merely a practical prototype that works with faux cryptocurrencies for a blockchain venture, whereas the Mainnet community is a completely constructed blockchain platform that permits customers to carry out actual cryptocurrency transactions on the blockchain.

On the finish of this tutorial, you will have a working dApp that permits anybody to mint their digital property into an NFT.

Demo

Beneath is the demo video of the NFT minting dApp we’ll construct on the finish of this tutorial:

You can too take a look at the reside model of what we’re constructing here.

Step 1 – Writing the NFT Minting Good Contract

On this step, we’ll create a primary Nft_Minter good contract to just accept and mint the digital asset that’ll be despatched from the frontend as tokenURI.

To start, open the Remix IDE in your browser:

Subsequent, below the contracts folder, create a brand new Nft_Minter.sol file as proven beneath:

Then, contained in the Nft_Minter.sol file, copy and paste the Solidity code beneath:

pragma solidity ^0.8.9;


import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/extensions/ERC721URIStorage.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/Counters.sol";


contract Nft_Minter is ERC721URIStorage {
   
   utilizing Counters for Counters.Counter;

   
   Counters.Counter non-public _tokenIds;

   
   constructor() ERC721("MyNFT", "MNFT") {}

   
   operate mintToken(string reminiscence tokenURI) public returns (uint256) {

      
      _tokenIds.increment();

      
      uint256 newTokenId = _tokenIds.present();

      
      _mint(msg.sender, newTokenId);

      
      _setTokenURI(newTokenId, tokenURI);

      return newTokenId;
   }
}

Right here’s a breakdown of the code above:

• We’re importing the ERC721URIStorage and the Counters web3 libraries from OpenZeppelin (An open-source platform for growing safe good contracts).

A Solidity finest follow is to call your good contracts the identical identify as your supply file.

• Subsequent, we’re extending our good contract by utilizing the ERC721URIStorage contract, which is able to permit our good contract to retailer the NFT metadata when it’s minted.

  Extra data relating to the ERC721URIStorage could also be discovered here.

The Counter utility operate retains monitor of all token ids which have been minted, and assigns a brand new id to all newly minted tokens by incrementing the earlier token id by 1.

The token ids are 256-bit integers starting from 0 to 115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639935. This ensures that we’ll by no means run out of ids whereas utilizing the Counter utility operate.

• Within the good contract constructor constructor() ERC721("MyNFT", "MNFT") {}, we provide the identify and image of our contract token; you may rename the identify and image of the contract to fit your dApp.

• Lastly, we’re making a mintToken operate that’ll take a tokenURI as a parameter and return a non-negative 256-bit integer.

  The _tokenIds.increment(); technique within the mintToken operate will increment the earlier token by 1. We can retrieve the present id by utilizing the _tokenIds.present(); technique, which shall be assigned as the brand new token id.

  The _mint() operate is an inner operate that accepts two arguments: the proprietor’s deal with and the token id, and is used to mint a brand new NFT on the specified deal with. The desired deal with, or the proprietor’s pockets deal with, shall be supplied from the frontend and is obtained utilizing our good contract’s msg.sender technique.

• Lastly, we return the newTokenId after utilizing the _setTokenURL() operate to set the tokenURl for the brand new NFT.

It’s best to check this out for an in depth clarification of Solidity syntax.

Step 2 – Compiling the NFT Minting Good Contract

Remix IDE permits us to compile our Solidity good contracts straight from our browser.

It signifies that the Remix IDE compiler shouldn’t be set to the required Solidity model in our supply code.

To repair this, click on on the Solidity compiler icon and choose the Solidity model you are utilizing in your good contract:

Lastly, save your supply file with ctrl + s or click on on the compile button. Your Solidity compiler icon ought to change from purple flag to inexperienced as proven beneath:

Step 3 – Getting a Check Ether Faucet

Earlier than we will deploy our good contract on the Rinkeby Ethereum blockchain, we have to have Testnet ether in our pockets to deploy and work together with the good contract. We will use FaucETH, a web site in which you’ll switch some free faux ether to your pockets.

Make certain to have Metamask put in in your browser or set up it here earlier than you proceed.

• Subsequent, click on in your Metamask icon, be certain to pick out the “Rinkeby Check Community” and replica your pockets deal with.

• Subsequent, paste your pockets deal with within the enter field as proven beneath:

• Choose the Rinkeby possibility, clear up the captcha, and click on on the “Request Fund” button to course of your free ETH:

Anticipate the web page to course of your request (this might take a couple of minutes).

If the requested fund is profitable, you will be notified as proven beneath:

Subsequent, test your Metamask pockets. Your pockets must be credited with 0.45ETH, like this:

Notice: You’ll be able to solely request free ether each 60 minutes.

Step 4 – Deploying the NFT Minting Good Contract

After compiling the Nft_Minter good contract (see Step 2) and funding your pockets with free faux ETH, the subsequent factor to do is to deploy the good contract on the Rinkeby Ethereum blockchain.

Rinkeby is an Ethereum Testnet community that’s used for blockchain improvement testing earlier than deploying on the Mainnet community.

Comply with the steps beneath to deploy your good contract on the Rinkeby Ethereum blockchain:

1. Click on on the “Deploy & Run Transaction” icon from the sidebar.

2. Choose the “Injected Web3” because the setting.

3. Select your good contract within the “Contract” part.

Depart the opposite default choices as they’re, and click on on the “Deploy” button:

The “Deploy” button will set off Metamask. Out of your Metamask pop-up dialog field, click on on the “Affirm” button:

Subsequent, watch for the good contract to deploy:

When your good contract is deployed, you’ll obtain a notification in your Remix IDE terminal, as proven beneath, and also you’ll be capable to entry your good contract deal with below the “Deployed Contracts” part:

One other vital factor to remember is your good contract’s Software Binary Interface (ABI). Navigate to the Solidity compiler tab, choose your good contract and replica the ABI code as proven beneath:

Bear in mind to avoid wasting your good contract deal with and ABI as a result of we’ll want them later for our React utility.

Step 5 – Organising a Moralis Testnet Server

“A Moralis server permits you to use the Moralis SDK to hurry up the event of your dApp.” – Moralis

Right here, we’ll arrange our Moralis Cloud Testnet Server and generate our Moralis Server API keys.

Go to Moralis.io and click on on the “Signal Up for FREE” button:

Present a legitimate e-mail deal with with a password to create your Moralis account:

You’ll should reply a couple of quick questions on the subsequent web page.

Click on the “Subsequent” button whenever you’re executed to create your Moralis account:

After profitable registration, you will be redirected to your Moralis dashboard.

In your dashboard:

1. Click on on the “Create a brand new Server” button:

2. Choose “Testnet Server”:

3. You may be prompted to substantiate your registered e-mail deal with:

4. Including a brand new Testnet Server:

From the “Testnet Server” popup:

• Identify your Moralis Server/Occasion nft-minter-server.
• Choose the Area closest to you.
• Choose the Testnet Community.
• For this tutorial, we’ll choose the ETH (Rinkeyby) chain.
• Click on on the “Add Occasion” button whenever you’re executed.

5. Anticipate Moralis to arrange your Testnet server occasion:

Step 6 – Getting Moralis Server Particulars

After your server occasion has been created, you may view your server credentials by clicking on the “View Particulars” button:

The vital server particulars that we’d like are:

• The Server URL
• The Software ID

Professional tip: Don’t expose your server particulars, as they provide entry to your dApp.

Step 7 – Making a New Challenge with Create React App

On this step, we’ll create a brand new React utility utilizing the npx package manager.

Run the command beneath to create a brand new React app for our NFT minter:

npx create-react-app my-nft-minter

Then, run the command beneath to navigate into your nft-minter listing:

cd my-nft-minter

Open your venture in any code editor. Our venture folder construction ought to appear like this:

my-nft-minter
├── node_modules 
├── public
├── src
├── .gitignore
├── package deal-lock.json
├── package deal.json
└── README.md

Subsequent, begin your React venture server by working the command beneath:

npm run begin

Our improvement server will begin up on localhost:3000, and our React web page ought to appear like this:

Step 8 – Putting in Moralis React SDK

Now that our React utility is up and working, we’ll set up the Moralis React SDK.

Run the next command out of your my-nft-minter listing terminal:

npm set up moralis react-moralis

The Moralis React SDK features a useMoralis() hook that may present the next logic for our dApp:

• The isAuthenticated state to detect whether or not or not a person’s pockets is linked.
• The authenticate operate for person’s to attach their pockets to our dApp.
• The person object that incorporates data (pockets deal with) of the at the moment linked person.
• The logout operate to finish the session for a linked person.

Step 9 – Initializing Moralis SDK in React

After establishing your Moralis Testnet server (see Step 5) and putting in the Moralis SDK (see Step 8), the subsequent step is to determine a connection between our React app and our Moralis server via the Moralis SDK.

Create a brand new admin .env file on the root of your venture and retailer your Moralis server particulars from Step 6 like this:

REACT_APP_MORALIS_SERVER_URL=https://XXXXXX.usemoralis.com:2053/server
REACT_APP_MORALIS_APP_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Change the placeholders together with your Moralis credentials. Subsequent, we have to restart our server after updating the src/.env file.

Use the quick key beneath to cease your server:

ctrl + c

Begin your server once more with:

npm run begin

Subsequent, we’ll wrap our App.js element with the moralisProvider from react-moralis. Replace your App.js with the code beneath:

import emblem from "./emblem.svg";
import "./App.css";
import { MoralisProvider } from "react-moralis";

operate App() {
  const moralisServerUrl = course of.env.REACT_APP_MORALIS_SERVER_URL;
  const moralisAppId = course of.env.REACT_APP_MORALIS_APP_ID;
  return (
    <MoralisProvider appId={moralisAppId} serverUrl={moralisServerUrl}>
      <div className='App'>
        <header className='App-header'>
          <img src={emblem} className='App-logo' alt='emblem' />
          <p>
            Edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
          </p>
          <a
            className='App-link'
            href='https://reactjs.org'
            goal='_blank'
            rel='noopener noreferrer'
          >
            Study React
          </a>
        </header>
      </div>
    </MoralisProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

Navigate to your browser community tab and seek for the trackEvent request (refresh the web page if you cannot discover it at first). If the response standing is ready to true, meaning our React utility has established a reference to our Moralis Testnet server.

Step 9 – Putting in Web3.js

On this step, we’ll set up the Web3.js library. Web3.js is an Ethereum JavaScript API which permits us to work together with our good contract, since Moralis solely helps read-only good contracts.

Run the command beneath to put in web3 in your react utility:

npm set up internet3

Step 10 – Rewiring React to Work With Web3.js

If you’re utilizing create-react-app model >= 5, you might run into points constructing your React app. It’s because NodeJS polyfills usually are not included within the newest model of create-react-app.

To repair this known issue, we’ll set up the lacking modules in our React utility.

Run the command beneath in your terminal:

npm set up --save-dev react-app-rewired crypto-browserify stream-browserify assert stream-http https-browserify os-browserify url buffer course of

The command above will set up react-app-rewired and different lacking dependencies.
The react-app-rewired package deal is used to configure webpack configurations, and it additionally permits us to manually modify the webpack configurations from the config-overrides.js file.

Create a brand new config-overrides.js file within the root of your venture folder, and replica paste the content material beneath:

const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = operate override(config) {
    const fallback = config.resolve.fallback || {};
    Object.assign(fallback, {
        "crypto": require.resolve("crypto-browserify"),
        "stream": require.resolve("stream-browserify"),
        "assert": require.resolve("assert"),
        "http": require.resolve("stream-http"),
        "https": require.resolve("https-browserify"),
        "os": require.resolve("os-browserify"),
        "url": require.resolve("url")
    })
    config.resolve.fallback = fallback;
    config.plugins = (config.plugins || []).concat([
        new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
            process: 'process/browser',
            Buffer: ['buffer', 'Buffer']
        })
    ])
    return config;
}

In our package deal.json file, we’ll exchange the react-scripts with the brand new react-app-rewired instructions.

Earlier than:

"scripts": {
    "begin": "react-scripts begin",
    "construct": "react-scripts construct",
    "check": "react-scripts check",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },

After:

"scripts": {
    "begin": "react-app-rewired begin",
    "construct": "react-app-rewired construct",
    "check": "react-app-rewired check",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
},

Restart your React server whenever you’re executed.

Use the quick key beneath to cease your server:

ctrl + c

Begin your server once more with:

npm run begin

The lacking Node.js polyfills in our React utility must be included now, and our React app must be practical with web3.

• If you wish to cover the warnings displaying in your terminal or browser console, add the next line of code throughout the override operate within your config-overrides.js file, like this (restart required):

config.ignoreWarnings = [/Failed to parse source map/];

Step 11 – Constructing the NFT Minter App

On this step, we’ll create the folder construction and construct the format of our NFT minting app.

First, replace your App.js file with the next code:

import "./App.css";
import { Header } from "./elements/header/Header";
import NftMinter from "./pages/nft-minter/NftMinter";
import { MoralisProvider } from "react-moralis";

operate App() {
  const serverUrl = course of.env.REACT_APP_MORALIS_SERVER_URL;
  const appId = course of.env.REACT_APP_MORALIS_APP_ID;

  return (
    <MoralisProvider appId={appId} serverUrl={serverUrl}>
      <div className='App'>
        <Header />
        <foremost>
          <NftMinter />
          <div className='App-overlay'></div>
        </foremost>
      </div>
    </MoralisProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

From the code above, we’re rendering the <Header /> and the <NftMinter /> elements, which we’ll create quickly:

• The <Header /> element will comprise our dApp emblem, the linked pockets deal with, and the “logout” button.

• The <NftMinter /> element will comprise the authentication logic of our dApp, and likewise the NFT minting type.

Change the code in your App.css file with the CSS code beneath:

.App {
  background: url("./meteor.svg");
  background-color: #000;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cowl;
  background-position: heart;
  background-attachment: fastened;
  place: relative;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

.App-overlay {
  background-color: #000;
  place: absolute;
  opacity: 0.5;
  prime: 0;
  top: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100vh;
  left: 0;
}

foremost {
  show: flex;
  justify-content: heart;
  flex-direction: column;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  foremost {
    padding: 5rem 2rem;
  }
}

Change the code in your index.css file with the CSS code beneath:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: "Arial", sans-serif;
  --webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}



.hide-on-sm {
  show: none;
}

.btn-wrap {
  border: 1px stable #fff;
  padding: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

.text-style {
  background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #fff000, #af48ff 80%);
  -webkit-background-clip: textual content;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: clear;
  background-clip: textual content;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  
  .hide-on-sm {
    show: inline;
  }

  .hide-on-md {
    show: none;
  }
}

In an effort to have the identical interface as this tutorial, obtain the pictures beneath in your src folder:

Subsequent, we’ll create the <Header /> and the <NftMinter /> elements.

In your src folder, create the next folder construction:

• Create a brand new elements folder.
• Subsequent, create a brand new header folder within your elements folder.
• Then, create a Header.jsx and a header.css file within the header folder.

Copy and paste the code beneath, within the Header.jsx file:

import React from "react";
import { useMoralis } from "react-moralis";
import metaMaskLogo from "../../metamask.svg";
import "./header.css";

export const Header = () => {
  
  const { isAuthenticated, logout, person } = useMoralis();
  const userEthAddress = person && person.get("ethAddress");

  
  const handleLogout = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    logout();
  };

  return (
    <header>
      <nav>
        <h1 className='app-name text-style'>My-NFT Minter</h1>
        {}
        {isAuthenticated && (
          <button className='wallet-btn' onClick={handleLogout}>
            <img src={metaMaskLogo} alt='Metamask emblem' />
            <span>
              {userEthAddress.slice(0, 4).toUpperCase()}...
              {userEthAddress.slice(-4).toUpperCase()}
            </span>
            <svg
              xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'
              width={16}
              top={16}
              fill='currentColor'
              className='bi bi-power'
              viewBox='0 0 16 16'
            >
              <path d='M7.5 1v7h1V1h-1z' />
              <path d='M3 8.812a4.999 4.999 0 0 1 2.578-4.375l-.485-.874A6 6 0 1 0 11 3.616l-.501.865A5 5 0 1 1 3 8.812z' />
            </svg>
          </button>
        )}
      </nav>
    </header>
  );
};

Within the code above, we’re pulling out the isAuthenticated state, the logout operate, and the person object from the useMoralis() hook (see Step 8).

• The “logout” button will solely be rendered when a person isAuthenticated.

• Subsequent, we’re getting the present person’s Ethereum pockets deal with from the person object and displaying the primary and final 4 letters of their pockets deal with.

• When the “logout” button is clicked, the authentication state is ready to false, so it’ll finish the connection between our dApp and the person’s Metamask.

Replace the header.css file with the CSS code beneath:

nav {
  z-index: 1;
  place: relative;
  width: 100%;
  show: flex;
  padding: 1rem;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: heart;
}

.wallet-btn {
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  border: 1px stable #0f0f0f;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 10px;
  cursor: pointer;
  show: flex;
  align-items: heart;
  hole: 6px;
  font-size: 18px;
}

.wallet-btn img {
  width: 20px;
  top: 20px;
}

.wallet-btn svg {
  width: 20px;
  top: 20px;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  nav {
    padding: 2rem 3rem;
  }

  .app-name {
    font-size: 26px;
  }
}

Step 12 – Creating the Join Pockets Web page Element

On this step, we’ll construct the authentication interface the place customers can join their wallets to our NFT minting utility.

In your src folder:

• Create a brand new pages folder.
• Subsequent, create a brand new auth folder.
• Within the auth folder, create a brand new ConnectWallet.jsx file with the code beneath:

import React from "react";
import { useMoralis } from "react-moralis";
import metaMaskLogo from "../../metamask.svg";

export const ConnectWallet = () => {
  const { authenticate, isAuthenticated } = useMoralis();

  
  const handleAuthentication = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    authenticate();
  };

  
  console.log(isAuthenticated);

  return (
    <button className='wallet-btn' kind='button' onClick={handleAuthentication}>
      <img src={metaMaskLogo} alt='Metamask emblem' />
      <span className='hide-on-sm'>
        MetaMask Pockets Join (Not Linked)
      </span>
      <span className='hide-on-md'> Join Pockets </span>
    </button>
  );
};

Within the code above, the authenticate() operate will set off the person’s Metamask and immediate them to hook up with their pockets. As soon as the person’s pockets is linked, the isAuthenticated state will change from false to true throughout our app elements via the MoralisProvider.

Step 13 – Creating the NFT Minter Web page Element

On this step, we’ll create our foremost minting element and its functionalities.

• First, create a brand new nft-minter folder within the pages folder.
• Subsequent, within the nft-minter folder, create a NftMinter.jsx and a nft-minter.css file.

Then, copy and paste the next traces of code within the nft-minter.css file:

.auth-section {
  show: flex;
  justify-content: heart;
  align-items: heart;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin: 10px 0;
  min-height: 50vh;
  width: 100%;
}

.hero-title {
  font-size: 40px;
  font-weight: daring;
  text-align: heart;
  font-weight: 600;
}

.nft-minting-section {
  z-index: 1;
  place: relative;
}

.page-hero {
  margin: 100px 0px 30px 0px;
}

.form-wrapper {
  margin: 0 auto;
  z-index: 1;
  padding: 1rem;
}

type {
  show: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: heart;
  justify-content: heart;
  width: 100%;
  margin-top: 30px;
}

label {
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: daring;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  colour: #d1d7e3;
}

.form-group {
  show: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: heart;
  justify-content: space-between;
  width: 100%;
  top: 100%;
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}

enter {
  width: 100%;
  top: 50px;
  border: 1px stable #e5e5e5;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: daring;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  define: none;
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

textarea {
  width: 100%;
  top: 100px;
  border: 1px stable #e5e5e5;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: daring;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  resize: none;
  border: none;
  define: none;
}

enter:focus,
textarea:focus {
  border: 1px stable #7927ff;

Lastly, copy and paste the next traces of code within the NftMinter.jsx file:

  let web3 = new Web3(Web3.givenProvider);

  
  const mintNft = async (e) => {};

  
  if (isminted) {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <Success setisminted={setisminted} nftAddress={nftAddress} />

    );
  }

  return (

                  placeholder='e.g Apes'
                  worth={nftName}
                  onChange={(e) => setnftName(e.goal.worth)}

                  id='nft-image'
                />
              </div>
              <div className='form-group'>

                  onChange={(e) => setnftDescription(e.goal.worth)}
                />
              </div>
              {}
              <div className='form-group btn-wrap'>
                <button kind='button' className='mint-btn' onClick={mintNft}>
                  {isMinting ? mintingStatus : "Mint NFT"}
                </button>
              </div>
            </type>
          </part>
        </React.Fragment>
      ) : (
        <React.Fragment>
          {}
          <part className='auth-section'>
            <part className='page-hero'>

            <ConnectWallet />
          </part>
        </React.Fragment>
      )}
    </part>
  );
}

The Nftminter.jsx element above tells the minting type to render when the isAuthenticated state is true. However, it renders connectWallet when the isAuthenticated state is false.

The mintNft operate will comprise our foremost minting logic (we’ll create this quickly). We additionally must create a brand new contracts/nft-contract.js file to carry our good contract deal with and our good contract ABI (see the tip of Step 4 to get your good contract credentials).

In your src folder:

• Create a brand new contracts folder.
• Subsequent, create a brand new nft-contract.js file.

Copy and paste your good contract credentials within the nft-contract.js file, as proven beneath:

export const contractAddress = "0x7AB057XXXXXXX1f62c51f9E518";

export const contractABI = [
  {
    inputs: [],
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    kind: "constructor",
  }

]

The good contract ABI is an encoded model of our good contract, it permits us to work together and get knowledge from the good contract.

Replace your mintNft operate with the code beneath:

  const mintNft = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    
    setisMinting(true);
    strive {
      
      setmintingStatus("Importing NFT picture...");
      const file = new Moralis.File(nftImage.identify, nftImage);
      await file.saveIPFS();
      const fileUrl = file.ipfs();

      
      const fileId = fileUrl.break up("https://web3.hashnode.com/")[4];
      
      const moralisGateWayIPFAddress = "https://gateway.moralisipfs.com/ipfs";
      const gatewayFileUrlAddress = `${moralisGateWayIPFAddress}/${fileId}`;

      
      const nftMetaData = {
        identify: nftName,
        description: nftDescription,
        picture: gatewayFileUrlAddress,
      };

      
      const metaDataFile = new Moralis.File(`${nftName}metadata.json`, {
        base64: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(nftMetaData)).toString("base64"),
      });

      
      await metaDataFile.saveIPFS();
      const metaDataFileUrl = metaDataFile.ipfs();

      
      const metaDataFileId = metaDataFileUrl.break up("https://web3.hashnode.com/")[4];

      
      const metaDataGatewayFileUrlAddress = `${moralisGateWayIPFAddress}/${metaDataFileId}`;

      
      setmintingStatus("Minting your NFT...");
      const nftMinterContract = new web3.eth.Contract(
        contractABI,
        contractAddress
      );

      
      const nftMintResponse = await nftMinterContract.strategies
        . mintToken(metaDataGatewayFileUrlAddress)
        .ship({ from: person.get("ethAddress") });

      
      const nftAddress = nftMintResponse.occasions.Switch.deal with;
      const nftTokenId = nftMintResponse.occasions.Switch.returnValues.tokenId;

      
      setNftAddress(`${nftAddress}/${nftTokenId}`);
      setisminted(true);
      setisMinting(false);
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
      setisMinting(false);
    }
  };

The mintNft operate above uploads the NFT to IPFS (in remark 2), which is a strategy of storing recordsdata on the blockchain. Moralis will then return a URL path to the uploaded picture through the file.ipfs() technique.

Subsequent (#3 within the commented code), we’re retrieving the file id from the IPFS hash URL by splitting the returned URL into 4 (the URL has 4 backslashes) in order that we use the Moralis “gateway” URL to entry the file, like this: https://gateway.moralisipfs.com/ipfs/:fileId.

https://gateway.moralisipfs.com/ipfs/QmexbMHy3NVzhfC6hGZgWnojxFyMXdmmfDjjqduJZ9HSAk/

The Moralis gateway URL is a extra steady IPFS URL than the one returned from the file.ipfs() operate. If the IPFS URL shouldn’t be obtainable or if it’s down, then our NFT won’t show correctly on OpenSea Testnet.

You should use the infura IPFS URL as effectively https://ipfs.infura.io/ipfs/:fileId.

Subsequent (in remark 5-6), we’re creating the metadata for the NFT, which is an object containing the identify, description, and the URL of the uploaded picture. The item is then transformed into base64 and saved on the IPFS for the second time with a brand new URL to the article.

The base64 metadata object is what NFT marketplaces like OpenSea Testnet will find and use to show the knowledge of an NFT on their web site Because of this our NFT metadata must comprise a reputation, description, and a picture URL on an IPFS.

Subsequent (#10 and #11 in commented code), we’re initializing a connection to the good contract utilizing our good contract deal with and ABI. This course of will set off the person’s Metamask for the sender affirmation. After a profitable connection, we will then entry the mintToken operate in our good contract as a way of our contract occasion nftMinterContract.strategies.mintToken().

Lastly (#11, #12, #13 in commented code), we retrieved the deal with and id of the minted NFT from the mintNFT technique response. Then, we set the values to their respective states.

Step 14 – Creating the Success Web page Element

On this step, we’ll create our final element, the success web page, and simply because the identify implies, it’ll be displayed as soon as the NFT has been efficiently minted (when isMinted is ready to true).

The success web page may also show the deal with and id of the NFT, and likewise a hyperlink to view the NFT on OpenSea Testnet.

In your pages folder:

• Create a brand new success folder.
• Subsequent, create a brand new Success.jsx and a success-page.css file.

Copy and paste the next code contained in the success-page.css file.

.minted-nft-section {
  z-index: 1;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0rem 1rem 1rem 1rem;
}

.success-message {
  colour: #fff;
  margin: 20px 0;
}

.minted-address {
  margin: 20px 0px;
}

.minted-address-text {
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  font-weight: daring;
  colour: #fff;
  show: block;
  font-size: 1.1rem;
  margin-top: 0.5rem;
}

.view-btn {
  width: 100%;
  top: 50px;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: daring;
  cursor: pointer;
  background: linear-gradient(90deg, #7927ff, #af48ff 80%);
  background-image: linear-gradient(-250deg, #fff000, #af48ff 50%);
  colour: white;
}

.view-btn:hover {
  opacity: 0.8;
}

.new-mint-wrap {
  show: flex;
  justify-content: heart;
  align-items: heart;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin: 10px 0;
}

.new-mint-btn {
  background-color: clear;
  border-radius: 4px;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: daring;
  border: none;
  colour: #fff;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.new-mint-btn:hover {
  opacity: 0.8;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .minted-address-text {
    font-size: 1.2rem;
  }
}

Subsequent, copy and paste the next code contained in the Success.jsx file:

import React from "react";
import "./success-page.css";

export const Success = ({ setisminted, nftAddress }) => {
  return (
    <part className='minted-nft-section'>
      <div className='minted-address-wrap'>
        <div className='minted-address'>
          {}

        </div>
        {}
        <div className='btn-wrap'>
          <a
            href={`https:

            <button className='view-btn'>

            </button>
          </a>
        </div>

        {}
        <div className='new-mint-wrap'>
          <button
            className='new-mint-btn'
            onClick={() => {
              setisminted(false);
            }}
          >
            Mint New NFT
          </button>
        </div>
      </div>

  );
};
