get metadata from metaplex

index.ts

// EDIT: It's now much easier to get metadata from metaplex using the js package.

Do you have any idea why I might be getting this error? it seems to be inside the borsh library which i have imported in that file already...

I've updated this gist with the full metadata-related decoding stuff from the metaplex repository. This should now all you need to display metadata from metaplex

Deserialization of Metadata does not work for me on the input token address ABJQmmSjJ3jpt4EKYbbkuFjMNNPpEVrKoDckHqqKnmPD:

My ts-node version: v10.2.1

Do you see the problem?

running your code as is results in the error:

`➜ solanaTS npx ts-node index.ts
⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
index.ts:16:47 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'PublicKey' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

16 const m = await metadata.getMetadataAccount(tokenAddress);
~~~~~~~~~~~~
index.ts:20:51 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'PublicKey'.

20 const accInfo = await connection.getAccountInfo(m);`

any idea what's going on?

thanks

Here, key doesn't seem to be used, is it needed?

It's now much easier to get and decode metadata with the metaplex js package: https://gist.github.com/dvcrn/a1b0ff0a0b4b3ab02aff44bc84ac4522
