Minting flow example
import { Akord, Auth } from '@akord/akord-js'
// First, let's initialize Akord instance
// In order to mint Atomic NFTs with AkordJS, you first need an Akord account.
// Sign up for Akord here: https://v2.akord.com/signup
const { wallet } = await Auth.signIn(email, password);
const akord = await Akord.init(wallet);
// Now, let's define our NFT metadata
const metadata = {
name: "Golden Orchid - Flora Fantasy #1",
owner: "zpCttRSE4zoDmmqu37PwGkwoMI89JsoY9mZx4IfzVb8",
creator: "oB8a20xgJy9ytEPkrFeIkQ9_6nWuoaNbsQYtaCVkNIY",
description: "A rare digital representation of the mythical Golden Orchid",
types: ["image"],
topics: ["floral", "nature"]
};
// Let's create a public vault to contain our NFTs
const { vaultId } = await akord.vault.create("My NFTs", { public: true });
// Finally, let's mint the NFT by passing the path to the asset data, NFT metadata
const { uri } = await akord.nft.mint(vaultId, "./my-nft.jpeg", metadata);
