rarepress.node

Rarepress for Node.js

What is this?

Rarepress.node is a part of the rarepress stack that lets you mint NFTs from outside of the browser using node.js.

How is it different from rarepress.js?

rarepress.js is for running inside a browser, whereas rarepress.node is for running outside of browsers. Here are some differences:

1. built-in wallet: Rarepress.node has a wallet built-in.
2. multi identity: Rarepress.node lets you mint and trade from as many wallets as you want.
3. automatic: Rarepress.node doesn't require manual signature approval so you can automatically mint as many NFTs as you want.

Syntax

Initialize

The only part different from rarepress.js is the initizlization step:

const Rarepress = require('rarepress-node')
const rarepress = new Rarepress()
await rarepress.init({
  key: <BIP44 derivation path (optional)>,
  host: <Rarepress host URL>
})

1. key: (optional) The bip44 derivation path. If unspecified, it will use the default Ethereum key path of m'/44'/60'/0'/0/0.
2. host: The rarepress host URL (see https://docs.rarepress.org/#/?id=init)

Usage

Once initialized, the syntax is EXACTLY the same as rarepress.js.

Read the documentation at https://docs.rarepress.org/.

Key Management

Rarepress uses a programmable wallet called mushie, to manage keys.

To directly interact with the wallet from the command line, install mushie globally.

npm install -g mushie

From this point on, you can run the commands directly:

1. Export seed: mushie export
2. Import seed: mushie import
3. Generate random seed: mushie generate
