Flow

A command-line tool to facilitate the Interaction with the Water Cooler Protocol and creation of NFT collection on the Sui blockchain.

How does it work

Using Flow you will be able to buy a Water Cooler which functions as an NFT loading and distribution program for creators.

You will also be able to configure your mint setting like mint price, and mint start time.

In the future we will also support white list distribution and on chain image upload.

Dependencies

Flow Node.js version 18.

CLI guild

Flow allows you to manage the whole lifecycle of a Water cooler and has the following advantages over bespoke structure:

• Prebuilt NFT that matches a generalised industry structure
• Less development knowledge is required in order to publish an NFT collection
• robust error handling and validation of inputs

Setting up Flow is as simple as opening your terminal cloning a git repo and installing an npm package.

git clone [repo link]
cd flow
npm i
npm i -g

The CLI is written in TypeScript and uses tsx to execute to code so make sure you have it installed globally:

npm i tsx -g

Add the seed phrase of the wallet you want to use as the Water Cooler manager in the .env file. Use the .env.dev file as a reference.

mv .env.example .env

Update .env file

Walk through

First you buy a Water Cooler using the following command:

flow buy

Then you enter the details of your NFT collection. Once the buy process is complete you then initilise the minting structure.

flow init

Then you stock the Water cooler. This adds the base NFT that were created into the minting structure.

flow stock

You can then use the settings command to make changes to things like the name on the collection, mint price, mint phase.

flow setting [options]

And then you are ready to go. Use the mint command to mint your first NFT.

flow mint
