baseImgUri to IPFS? super stuck #84

Open Auxetics opened 2 years ago

Auxetics commented 2 years ago

Sorry I'm super new to this coding and I'm at a loss for how to get this to work. I registered an account at nft.storage for image hosting as IPFS recommends it, installed the packages and added my API_KEY to the appropriate place but I can't for the life of me figure out how to link the baseImgUri output in the metadata json files to it?

I've watched the IPFS videos on the channel but all I can gather is that it needs to be part of its own dapp smart contract and can't be done within the generative art itself? I just don't want to be stuck paying for a website or hosting for the next 40 years to make sure the NFT's stay alive.
