Installation

taq install @taqueria/plugin-ipfs-pinata

Configuration

1. Sign into your Pinata account here
2. Create/find your JWT token and copy it
3. Create the file .env in your Taqueria project
4. Add the JWT token to a property called pinataJwtToken as shown below:

pinataJwtToken=eyJhbGc...

Usage

The IPFS Pinata plugin exposes a publish task which uploads one or more files to IPFS via Pinata, and stores the results in Taqueria State

You will first need to create a new directory in your project and add any metadata or media files you would like to upload to Pinata. Once you have a directory in your project with one or more files to upload, you can run:

taq publish <pathToFile>

The IPFS Pinata plugin exposes a pin task which links files already existing on Pinata to your Pinata account

You will need to find the CID for a file on Pinata then use that to pin the file to your account that is linked with the JWT you're using

taq pin <fileHash>
