• Nodejs
  • You'll know you've installed nodejs right if you can run:
    • node --version and get an ouput like: vx.x.x
• Yarn instead of npm
  • You'll know you've installed yarn right if you can run:
    • yarn --version and get an output like: x.x.x
    • You might need to install it with npm

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/shoaibshebi/hardhat-nft-marketplace-next-js.git
cd hardhat-nft-marketplace-next-js
yarn

Typescript

TODO!!

For the typescript edition, run:

git checkout typescript

Usage

Deploy:

yarn hardhat deploy

Testing

yarn hardhat test

Deployment to a testnet or mainnet

1. Setup environment variabltes

You'll want to set your KOVAN_RPC_URL and PRIVATE_KEY as environment variables. You can add them to a .env file, similar to what you see in .env.example.

• PRIVATE_KEY: The private key of your account (like from metamask). NOTE: FOR DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE USE A KEY THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY REAL FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
  • You can learn how to export it here.
• KOVAN_RPC_URL: This is url of the kovan testnet node you're working with. You can get setup with one for free from Alchemy

2. Get testnet ETH

Head over to faucets.chain.link and get some tesnet ETH. You should see the ETH show up in your metamask.

3. Deploy

yarn hardhat deploy --network kovan

Thanks!
