# WebMavryk TZIP-012 package
*Documentation can be found [here](https://webmavryk.mavryk.org/docs/tzip12)*

`@mavrykdynamics/webmavryk-tzip12` is an npm package that provides developers with TZIP-12 functionality for WebMavryk. The package allows retrieving metadata associated with tokens of FA2 contracts.

## General Information

There are two scenarios to obtain the metadata of a token:
1. The metadata can be obtained from executing an off-chain view named `token_metadata` present in the contract metadata
2. or from a big map named `token_metadata` in the contract storage. 

The `getTokenMetadata` method of the `Tzip12ContractAbstraction` class will find the token metadata with precedence for the off-chain view, if there is one, as specified in the standard. Please refer to the following link for complete documentation on [TZIP-012#Token Metadata](https://gitlab.com/tezos/tzip/-/blob/master/proposals/tzip-12/tzip-12.md#token-metadata).

## Install

The package can be used to extend the well-known WebMavryk contract abstraction. The `@mavrykdynamics/webmavryk-tzip12` and the `@mavrykdynamics/webmavryk` packages need to be installed as follows:
```
npm i --save @mavrykdynamics/webmavryk-tzip12
npm i --save @mavrykdynamics/webmavryk
```

## Usage

**Create an instance of the `Tzip12Module` and add it as an extension to the `MavrykToolkit`**

The constructor of the `Tzip12Module` takes an optional `MetadataProvider` as a parameter. When none is passed, the default `MetadataProvider` of WebMavryk is instantiated, and the default handlers (`HttpHandler,` `IpfsHandler,` and `MavrykStorageHandler`) are used. The `MetadataProvider` can be customized by the user if needed.

**Use the `tzip12` function to extend a contract abstraction**

```ts
import { MavrykToolkit } from '@mavrykdynamics/webmavryk';
import { Tzip12Module } from '@mavrykdynamics/webmavryk-tzip12';
import { tzip12 } from '@mavrykdynamics/webmavryk-tzip12';

const Mavryk = new MavrykToolkit('https://YOUR_PREFERRED_RPC_URL');
Mavryk.addExtension(new Tzip12Module());

const contract = await Mavryk.contract.at("contractAddress", tzip12)

// get the token metadata
await contract.tzip12().getTokenMetadata(1);
```

The `getTokenMetadata` method takes a number as a parameter that represents the token_id and returns an object matching this interface:
```
interface TokenMetadata {
    token_id: number,
    decimals: number
    name?: string,
    symbol?: string,
}
```
