The CLI tool helps to:
- deploy the NFT minter Smart Contract on the Elrond blockchain
- interact with the NFT minter Smart Contract on the Elrond blockchain

For now it is designed to deploy the contract: elven-nft-minter-sc.

How does it work?

General how to:

npm install elven-tools -g
elven-tools --version or elvent-tools -v
elven-tools --help or elven-tools -h - for getting the commands on the root level
elven-tools nft-minter --help or elven-tools nft-minter -h - for getting all the commands for the subcommand

Steps for deploying and interacting with the Smart Contract:

Be aware that, by default, all will happen on the devnet. See below how to change it.

First steps:

elven-tools derive-pem - you would need to generate the PEM file for all further operations, do not share it with anyone. It works similar to erdpy wallet derive. It will take the keyphrase and generate the walletKey.pem file in the same directory.
elven-tools deploy nft-minter - by default, the tools will take the abi and wasm source code and deploy directly from the defined tag branch of the smart contract. There are two options to work with it, though. You can configure a different branch or tag, or you can download the files and work on them locally.

For changing the branch, for example to development create the .elventoolsrc file in the same directory where the walletKey.pem file is located, put there { "nftMinter": { "version": "development" } }. It can be also a tag name of the release in this GitHub repository.
If you would like to work locally. For example, you cloned the Smart Contract and worked on your version. You can create a directory structure next to the walletKey.pem. It should look like: sc/nft-minter. Here you will need to put the .wasm and .abi.json files which you can get from the output directory of the Smart Contract.
This command takes a couple of arguments asking for them with prompts.

When the Smart Contract (check it in the explorer) is deployed, you need to create your collection token. You can do this by elven-tools nft-minter issue-collection-token. You will be asked for the name and the ticker. Keep the name without spaces and the ticker short and capitalized.
Next step would be to add a 'create' role. You can do this by elven-tools nft-minter set-roles
Next is a required initial call to the shuffle endpoint: elven-tools nft-minter shuffle. Anyone can call this anytime, but it should be called once before the minting. Otherwise, the mint process won't work.
Then you can start the minting elven-tools nft-minter start-minting or setup a drop elven-tools nft-minter set-drop where the minting will be split into 'waves'. The first version of the Smart Contract mints randomly on demand and sends the NFT to the buyer. More advanced logic will land in version 2.
You can also mint the tokens using the same or different walletKey.pem for that run elven-tools nft-minter mint.
You can list all the commands using elven-tools nft-minter --help; below, you'll find all of them with short descriptions.

All Commands

elven-tools derive-pem - derives the PEM file from seed phrase (keywords)
elven-tools deploy nft-minter - deploys the smart contract (by default from the defined tag branch using the devnet, can be configured)
elven-tools nft-minter issue-collection-token [only owner] - issue main collection handle, it costs 0.05 EGLD, and it is a must in the Elrond chain. All NFTs will be under this collection. The cost here is a one-time payment for the whole collection.
elven-tools nft-minter set-roles [only owner] - for now, the command sets the critical role for the collection handle. It is a 'create nft' role.
elven-tools nft-minter start-minting [only owner] - by default, after deploying the smart contract, the minting is disabled. You would need to start it
elven-tools nft-minter pause-minting [only owner] - you can also pause it at any moment
elven-tools nft-minter set-new-price [only owner] - you can set a new price per NFT for the whole collection
elven-tools nft-minter giveaway [only owner] - as an owner, you can give some random tokens to other addresses.
elven-tools nft-minter set-drop [only owner] - you can also split the minting into drops. These are 'waves' of minting where you can change prices and promote each one (v1 doesn't include any logic for revealing the CIDs with delay, the revealed NFTs will be sent in every drop).
elven-tools nft-minter unset-drop [only owner] - you can also disable the drop and pause minting
elven-tools nft-minter claim-dev-rewards [only owner] - as an owner of the Smart Contract, you can always claim the developer rewards. Read more about them in the Elrond docs.
elven-tools nft-minter change-base-cids [only owner] - you can change base IPFS CIDs only before any NFT was minted. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to do that.
elven-tools nft-minter set-new-tokens-limit-per-address [only owner] - it is possible to change the limits per address which are configured when deploying the Smart Contract
elven-tools nft-minter claim-sc-funds [only owner] - this is treated as a fallback for royalties, there is no way for now to implement other solution, the Smart Contract will receive the royalties as the creator, so there has to be a way to get them back. Generally, it shouldn't be required otherwise. Proper solutions will be with the esdt_nft_create_as_caller, which doesn't work yet.
elven-tools nft-minter shuffle - as a user, you can take part and ensure that the minting is random. This transaction will reshuffle the next index to mint. Everyone can run it.
elven-tools nft-minter mint - the main mint function, you can mint NFTs using any walletKey.pem file
elven-tools nft-minter get-total-tokens-left - the Smart Contract query, returns amount of tokens left
elven-tools nft-minter get-provenance-hash - the Smart Contract query returns the provenance hash if provided when deploying
elven-tools nft-minter get-drop-tokens-left - the Smart Contract query returns the number of tokens left per drop
elven-tools nft-minter get-nft-price - the Smart Contract query, returns the current price
elven-tools nft-minter get-nft-token-id - the Smart Contract query, returns the collection token id
elven-tools nft-minter get-nft-token-name - the Smart Contract query, returns the collection token name
elven-tools nft-minter get-tokens-limit-per-address-total - the Smart Contract query returns the tokens limit per address
elven-tools nft-minter get-minted-per-address-total - the Smart Contract query returns the number of tokens minted per one address
get-minted-per-address-per-drop - when the drop is configured, it will return the number of tokens minted per address per drop
get-tokens-limit-per-address-per-drop - when the drop is configured, it will return the total limit of tokens per address per drop

Custom configuration options

Below is an example of a .elventoolsrc config file with default values. It is not required if you will work on the devnet with the defined tag branch of the Smart Contract. In other cases, you would need to have it. It should be located in the same directory from which the elven-tools commands are triggered—the same directory as the one where the walletKey.pem file is located.

Limitations and caveats

there are main limitations related to the Smart Contract. Remember that it is most likely that this CLI tool won't be used only in a way that everyone would want to, be aware that you can always change the names of the endpoints in the Smart Contract. Then you can also use the config file and change them here in the CLI
Smart Contract in version 1 doesn't have many mechanisms which will strongly limit unwanted behaviors. It only implements random minting, but in version 2, there will be more mechanisms for fair launches.
