How to do metadata for NEAR NFTs?

[7paul7]

When I generate my profile pictures how do I generate the metadata? Is it similar to SOL NFTs where you have a corresponding .json file for each JPEG. Im trying to generate my images now if someone has info I would love it!

Yep! All files end up in a directory numbered 0.jpeg, 0.json so that later the IPFS hash leads to the directory and then each image and its metadata can be found with its id, e.g. 0. @starpause knows more about the metadata generation part.

@7paul7 how are you doing the metadata generation?

For 2d projects we recommend hashlips which will also generate the metadata for you. We have a PR open which adds NEAR support so you could use that branch if you like. Alternately, there are only 2 changes to the metadata keys which needs to happen for the JSON generated by hashlips to match up with the NEP171 standard:

"name:" -> "title:"
"image:" -> "media:"
