How to Use toGatewayURL to Save NFT Image URL for Image Component?
I am trying to utilize toGatewayURL to save the URL from an NFT image for use in an Image Component. However, I am unsure of what to specify as the gateway parameter in the function call. I have attempted to use hanlo.mypinata.cloud as the gateway, but it does not work. Additionally, I have a token available for use with the gateway. How can I correctly configure toGatewayURL with the appropriate gateway and token to save the NFT image URL?
- IPFS
- JavaScript
- NFT.Storage

1The library that provides the toGatewayURL function is NFT.storage. However, Pinata also offers extensive gateway information on their documentation page at https://docs.pinata.cloud/docs/gateways-page.
It appears that the toGatewayURL function requires a gateway URL and an IPFS CID to generate a functional URL. While using a generic gateway like "https://dweb.link/" should suffice, leveraging Pinata's dedicated gateways may offer better performance if you are already utilizing their services.
