Mint NFT Book by Script (beta)

Publishing eBook as an NFT

📣Minting Writing NFT requires LikeCoin, users can get a small amount of LikeCoin from the faucet for testing.
📣This instruction requires technical knowledge about running node.js scripe and editing JSON files
Prerequisites 
Prepare your eBook files 
You must have your eBook file ready before publishing your NFT book; the file can be in any popular ebook format, such as pdf and epub. This guide will not cover how to make an ebook file.
Prepare your NFT book covers
You must prepare at least two cover images for your NFT book, one for the listing view and another for the book detail view. The listing view is for the user to browse the NFT book information in-store, and the book detail view is the unique cover of each NFT book.
Get your "book info" page ready
The book info page is a single page that lists the book information, such as information about the authors and publisher, descriptions and recommendations, etc. It can be any webpage.
Prepare the metadata
It would be best to have your book metadata as complete as possible before publishing the NFT book. You can continually update the metadata by updating the version of the book ISCN later if necessary, however. Book metadata includes but is not limited to author name, book name, stakeholders and their wallet address, book description, usage terms, etc. 
Install the Minting Script
The minting script is a node.js script.  
Install the script
Open your terminal and follow the below steps:
1.Type the command 
git clone https://github.com/likecoin/iscn-nft-tools​
2.In the mint-nft folder and send-nft folder, run the command 
npm install
​
Program path: iscn-nft-tools/mint-nft
Executable: index.js
Preparing the data files 
After installing the script, you will get a few sample data files in JSON format under the directory iscn-nft-tools/mint-nft/data.  Before running the script, you must prepare the necessary data file.
The definitions of data files are stated below:
iscn.json

NFT Book Spec
Executing the Script
The script will perform three steps: 
1.Register ISCN
2.Create NFT class
3.Mint NFT(s)
You can specify an existing ISCN by the parameter --iscn-id, and specify an existing NFT class ID by the parameter --class-id.  You can also let the script to create everything new.
Parameter
Argument
Example
Mandatory?
nft-count
An integer. Total number of NFT to be minted.
--nft-count 100
YES
iscn-id
A string. The ISCN ID that the NFT is referring to. 
--iscn-id iscn://likecoin-chain/IKI9PueuJiOsYvhN6z9jPJIm3UGMh17BQ3tEwEzslQo/3
NO
create-new-iscn
Null. If the parameter is specified, a new ISCN will be registered according to the iscn.json file. Cannot use together with the parameter iscn-id
--create-new-iscn
NO
class-id
A string. The NFT class ID that the NFT belongs to. It is used in the case to mint additional NFTs within the same Class (collection). The script will create one based on nft-class.json if not specified.
--class-id likenft1yhsps5l8tmeuy9y7k0rjpx97cl67cjkjnzkycecw5xrvjjp6c5yqz0ttmc
NO
nft-max-supply
An integer. Maximum number of NFTs that can be minted in an NFT class. No limitation if not specified.
--nft-max-supply 1000
NO
Example:
IS_TESTNET=TRUE MNEMONIC="...." node index.js --nft-count 100 --create-new-iscn
IS_TESTNET=TRUE MNEMONIC="...." node index.js --nft-count 100 --iscn-id iscn://xxxx
​
Note:
either the parameter iscn-id or create-new-iscn must be specified, but cannot use both.
If create-new-iscn parameter is given, the program will refer to data/iscn.json to register a new ISCN ID
if class-id parameter is absent, the program will refer to data/nft_class.json
class-id and nft-max-supply should not be present together, as nft-max-supply should be useful upon creating new nft class only.
The number specified in nft-count should be matched the number of rows in data/nfts.csv.
After executing the script, you should have minted the NFT successfully.  Congratulation!
Updating eBook File and any Metadata's Version
You may have the need to update the eBook files (epub/pdf) or any metadata, for example, a typical scenario is to include the registered ISCN into the eBook files, and hence you will get new contentFingerprints.   Take this use case as an example, you need to:
1.Add the ISCN information to the eBook files (pdf/epub).
2.Upload the eBook files to IPFS and get the new hash (contentFingerprint).
3.Update the ISCN to replace the old contentFingerprint by the new one.
You can always trace back the information of the old ISCN versions, but Liker Land frontend will display the information of the most updated ISCN version.   
Check out the tools to update ISCN below:
