Mint ERC721 token to specific account

Question

How can I mint an NFT using ERC 721 directly to someone's wallet? I have done IPFS pinning for my NFT and am using truffle console to mint. I am able to mint the tokens but they are from my wallet only. I need it to be minted in the name of metamask logged user. Can someone help?

function claimItem(string memory tokenURI) public returns (uint256) { _tokenIds.increment(); uint256 newItemId = _tokenIds.current(); _safeMint(msg.sender, newItemId); // _safeMint(to, newItemId); _setTokenURI(newItemId, tokenURI); return newItemId; } — Chandan Kumar, Jun 05 '22 at 16:57

To mint to a certain user, you'd have to add a parameter to your mint function.

function mint(address _to, ...) public payable {
    // ...
    _safeMint(_to, ...);
}

Something like this. And then in your dApp you'd simply add the connected wallet's address as the _to parameter.
