Minting Cashu Token

The process of swapping sats for Cashu token is called "minting". To mint with Coco you need to create a mint quote, specifying a mintUrl and an amount in Sats.

Before minting, ensure the mint is added and trusted (see Adding a Mint):

// Add and trust the mint first
await coco.mint.addMint('https://minturl.com', { trusted: true });

// Create a mint quote
const mintQuote = await coco.quotes.createMintQuote('https://minturl.com', 21);

The returned MintQuoteReponse has a "request" field that contains a BOLT11 payment request that needs to be paid before minting can happen. When Watchers and Processors are activated (they are by default) Coco will automatically check whether the quote has been paid and redeem it automatically. You can use the event system to get notified once a quote was redeemed.

const mintQuote = await coco.quotes.createMintQuote('https://minturl.com', 21);

console.log('pay this: ', mintQuote.request);
console.log('this is the quotes id: ', mintQuote.quote);

coco.on('mint-quote:redeemed', (payload) => {
  if (payload.quoteId === mintQuote.quote) {
    console.log('This was paid!!');
  }
});
