What is Pinata?

Pinata is building the largest pinning service on IPFS!

Pinata gives users the ability to upload, manage, and share their content whenever, wherever and, with whomever they want.

What you need to get started:

• We'll be using the Polywrap Demos repo for this guide.
• 💚 Node. js
• 🪅 Pinata
• 🐳 Docker
• 🧶Yarn
  • Versions: node >=10.0.0 or yarn >=1.0.0
• 🔸 Git

Step 1. Clone the polywrap demo project

git clone https://github.com/polywrap/demos.git

Step 2. Git pull metadata

Then, we will check out the demo branch with the metafiles already set up:

git pull origin polywrap-metadata

Step 3. Build the wrap

Now, we can build the sample wrap with the following commands:

nvm use
yarn
yarn build

Your build folder should be generated now. Copy and paste the ./polywrap.meta.yaml and ./meta files into the build folder.

Step 4. Upload the build folder to Pinata

Make sure you signup for a Pinata account.

• Click "Upload"

• Click "Folder"

• Click Select for a folder to upload should be the build folder

• Give your file or folder a name. Example: Gm-Polywrap

• Click "Upload" from the alert message

Step 5. Verifying the package on IPFS

You will get an IPFS hash!

• Click the name of the folder

This will lead you to IPFS link: https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmVtFE8ScFUv6b4vUrfrNsEGuUunF4rFckjaRcDxb6xayq

Now that you have the IPFS hash located in the CID column in the pinata manager, you can use it as a value in the URI property of your Polywrap queries to access the functions in this wrap.

🎉 Congratulations 🎉 on deploying to Pinata!
