Hedera Wallet Snap connects to your currently connected Metamask account by default. To learn how apps can connect to Hedera Wallet Snap using a non-metamask(external) account, refer to this documentation.
Then, depending on whether you're trying to connect to a metamask account or a non-metamask account, you can call the snap API in the following way:
constsnapId=`npm:@hashgraph/hedera-wallet-snap`constmintTokenAPI=async () => {constexternalAccountParams= { externalAccount: { accountIdOrEvmAddress:'0.0.12345', curve:'ED25519' } }awaitwindow.ethereum.request({ method:'wallet_invokeSnap', params: { snapId, request: { method:'hts/mintToken', params: { network:'testnet', assetType:'TOKEN',// TOKEN | NFT tokenId:'0.0.4279119', amount:100, metadata?,// Optional param - only needed for NFT/* Uncomment the below line if you want to connect to a non-metamask account */// ...externalAccountParams } } } })}
You do not need to pass the amount for NFTs
You do not need to pass the metadata for fungible tokens
What the API does
Retrieves the currently connected account the user has selected on Metamask. If it's the first time, a new snap account is created and the account info is saved in snap state.
Parses the arguments that were passed such as the tokenId, amount, etc.
Calls the Hedera SDK Mint Token API to mint new tokens for both fungible and non-fungible token (NFT) types, thereby increasing the total supply of the specified token. The new tokens are sent to the treasury account.
This action cannot be called if this token was created without passing the supplyPublicKey parameter. Furthermore, this action must also be called using the same public key account.
Some things to keep in mind while interacting with the above demo
If you're getting any errors with the live demo, make sure you go through the FAQs section to learn about what you may be missing. You need to install Metamask in your browser for the live demo to work
To ease the integration of Hedera Wallet Snap on an application, we have created a template web application that you can run locally and check out the code in its entirety to learn how you can integrate and interact with various APIs exposed by Hedera Wallet Snap.
