LazyMint

import "@thirdweb-dev/contracts/extension/LazyMint.sol";

The LazyMint smart contract is an extension for any base NFT contract. It lets you 'lazy mint' any number of NFTs at once.

Here, 'lazy mint' means defining the metadata for particular tokenIds of your NFT contract, without actually minting a non-zero balance of NFTs of those tokenIds.

Usage

The LazyMint extension is an abstract contract, and expects you to implement the following functions by yourself:

NameTypeReturnsDescription
_canLazyMintinternal view virtualboolRuns on every attempt to lazy mint NFTs on the contract. Returns whether NFTs can be lazy minted in the given execution context.

This is an example smart contract demonstrating how to inherit from this extension and override the functions to add (optional) custom functionality.
