How to create an NFT
Upload to Arweave
This code appears to be for uploading an image and its associated metadata to a permanent storage network called Arweave. Here's a breakdown of what each part does:
1. Uploading the image:
- It starts by reading the image file "lowres-dog.png" using
fs.readFileSync
.
- Then, it creates a transaction object using
arweave.createTransaction
. This object represents the data to be stored on Arweave.
- It sets the transaction data to the image content read from the file.
- An important tag "Content-Type" is added with the value "image/png" to inform Arweave about the data type.
- The code reads the wallet information from a file named "wallet.json" and uses it to sign the transaction. Signing ensures only the owner can modify the data.
- Finally, the signed transaction is posted to Arweave using
arweave.transactions.post
. The response from Arweave is logged to the console.
- The transaction ID is extracted and used to construct the image URL on Arweave. This URL can be used to access the uploaded image.
2. Uploading the metadata:
- The code defines a variable
metadata
which likely contains information about the image, such as its name, description, or other relevant details.
- It converts the metadata object to a JSON string using
JSON.stringify
.
- Similar to the image upload, a new transaction is created with the JSON string containing the metadata as data.
- The "Content-Type" tag is set to "application/json" to indicate the data format.
- The transaction is signed using the wallet information and then posted to Arweave.
In summary, this code uploads an image and its separate metadata to Arweave, a decentralized storage platform. This allows for permanent and verifiable storage of both the image data and its associated information.
