Unable to easily access properties on `getNftMetadata`response

Code

  const { alchemy } = createAlchemyWeb3(ALCHEMY_URL);

  const test = { contractAddress: "0x6688Ee4E6e17a9cF88A13Da833b011E64C2B4203", tokenId: "1" };
  const nft = await alchemy.getNftMetadata(test);
  console.dir(nft);

Response

Description of Problem
while fetching an NFT, I am trying to access a few properties inside the metadata property on the response such as external_url and animation_url. I realize that these are not standard necessarily (though common), so I cannot expect to receive these as responses all the time.

This interface is currently described by the following interface:

alchemy-web3/src/alchemy-apis/types.ts

Lines 81 to 86 in 5d3985f

    
           export interface NftMetadata { 
        
             image?: string; 
        
             attributes?: Array<Record<string, any>>; 
        
           }

As a user I would expect that these non-standard properties would either be listed as optional types on this interface, or to just be jammed into attributes record (or else some "optional_properties" record of some sort if the attributes actually usually holds other more standardized data.

@JackCurrie Thanks for filing a well thought-out FR!

I'm currently tackling is part of resolving #99 in the PR: #100. I'm planning on adding the few most common ones like name and description. I'm extending changing NftMetadata to NftMetadata extends Record<string, any>, which should allow you to access any attributes not listed.

Awesome, thank you @thebrianchen , appreciate the quick response! 👍


	export interface NftMetadata {
	image?: string;
	attributes?: Array<Record<string, any>>;
	}
