Overview

Look at one of the following topics to learn more about LaravelShoppingcart

Usage

The shoppingcart gives you the following methods to use:

Cart::add()

Adding an item to the cart is really simple, you just use the add() method, which accepts a variety of parameters.

In its most basic form you can specify the id, name, quantity, price and weight of the product you’d like to add to the cart.

Cart::add('293ad', 'Product 1', 1, 9.99, 550);

As an optional fifth parameter you can pass it options, so you can add multiple items with the same id, but with (for instance) a different size.

Cart::add('293ad', 'Product 1', 1, 9.99, 550, ['size' => 'large']);

The add() method will return an CartItem instance of the item you just added to the cart.

Maybe you prefer to add the item using an array? As long as the array contains the required keys, you can pass it to the method. The options key is optional.

Cart::add(['id' => '293ad', 'name' => 'Product 1', 'qty' => 1, 'price' => 9.99, 'weight' => 550, 'options' => ['size' => 'large']]);

New in version 2 of the package is the possibility to work with the Buyable interface. The way this works is that you have a model implement the Buyable interface, which will make you implement a few methods so the package knows how to get the id, name and price from your model. This way you can just pass the add() method a model and the quantity and it will automatically add it to the cart.

As an added bonus it will automatically associate the model with the CartItem

Cart::add($product, 1, ['size' => 'large']);

As an optional third parameter you can add options.

Cart::add($product, 1, ['size' => 'large']);

Finally, you can also add multipe items to the cart at once. You can just pass the add() method an array of arrays, or an array of Buyables and they will be added to the cart.

When adding multiple items to the cart, the add() method will return an array of CartItems.

Cart::add([  ['id' => '293ad', 'name' => 'Product 1', 'qty' => 1, 'price' => 10.00, 'weight' => 550],  ['id' => '4832k', 'name' => 'Product 2', 'qty' => 1, 'price' => 10.00, 'weight' => 550, 'options' => ['size' => 'large']] ]);  Cart::add([$product1, $product2]);

Cart::update()

To update an item in the cart, you’ll first need the rowId of the item. Next you can use the update() method to update it.

If you simply want to update the quantity, you’ll pass the update method the rowId and the new quantity:

$rowId = 'da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709';  Cart::update($rowId, 2); // Will update the quantity

If you want to update more attributes of the item, you can either pass the update method an array or a Buyable as the second parameter. This way you can update all information of the item with the given rowId.

Cart::update($rowId, ['name' => 'Product 1']); // Will update the name  Cart::update($rowId, $product); // Will update the id, name and price

Cart::remove()

To remove an item for the cart, you’ll again need the rowId. This rowId you simply pass to the remove() method and it will remove the item from the cart.

$rowId = 'da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709';  Cart::remove($rowId);

Cart::get()

If you want to get an item from the cart using its rowId, you can simply call the get() method on the cart and pass it the rowId.

$rowId = 'da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709';  Cart::get($rowId);

Cart::content()

Of course you also want to get the carts content. This is where you’ll use the content method. This method will return a Collection of CartItems which you can iterate over and show the content to your customers.

This method will return the content of the current cart instance, if you want the content of another instance, simply chain the calls.

Cart::instance('wishlist')->content();

Cart::destroy()

If you want to completely remove the content of a cart, you can call the destroy method on the cart. This will remove all CartItems from the cart for the current cart instance.

Cart::weight()

The weight() method can be used to get the weight total of all items in the cart, given there weight and quantity.

The method will automatically format the result, which you can tweak using the three optional parameters

Cart::weight($decimals, $decimalSeperator, $thousandSeperator);
