Can't create NFT

[Not-Wadu]

Hello, I am new to Elrond platform and I found your project, I set it up on devnet and I tried to create some nfts.
First I created a wallet, I added some xEGLD, I created ESDT and then I tried to create an NFT...but it does not find my ESDT that I created( I checked the transactions and all of them are successful. Can you help me please?

Hey, this project is not supported anymore, the reasons are:

• it uses older frontend libraries
• it doesn't use the smart contract integration
• the code isn't as good as it should be, there were changes in the main erdjs SDK library
• it is basically for reference

The best would be to check the: www.elven.tools which provide the smart contract, CLI tool, and also Minter Dapp, all up to date.

and if I want to create nfts in my app based on images that I already have...what can I do ? or I have to do something to my pictures first ?

Oh, ok, so for simple minting on your wallet, you can do the following:

1. a transaction to issue the collection token (payment 0.05 EGLD (one time for the whole collection))
2. a transaction to set roles
3. a transaction to create the NFT

I would probably recommend you to check the following:

• docs on NFTs: https://docs.elrond.com/developers/nft-tokens/ where you find how transactions should look like, where to send them etc.
• erdjs cookbook: https://docs.elrond.com/sdk-and-tools/erdjs/erdjs-cookbook/ where you find the TS/JS abstractions for that (helpers) and how to use them to send transactions

For dapp frontends, you can check:

• https://github.com/ElrondNetwork/dapp-core (React) a lot of functionality
• https://github.com/ElrondDevGuild/nextjs-dapp-template (Nextjs) simplified, basic functionality

As of this repo. You can, of course, check the code in this repo, but I don't recommend starting here because you can learn bad habits. The code is not updated. I will try to do something like that in: https://github.com/ElrondDevGuild
