README

Welcome to the Laravel Cart Package! This package provides a complete solution for adding cart functionality to your Laravel application. It also includes pre-configured endpoints so you can consume the cart quickly and easily.

Installation

You can install this package using Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require ricadesign/laravel-cart

You can publish the package configurations (useful if you plan to have full control), run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Darryldecode\Cart\CartServiceProvider\LaravelCart\CartServiceProvider" --tag="config"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ricadesign\LaravelCart\LaravelCartServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Configuration

By default, the cart is stored in the user's session. However, if you want to change this configuration to store the cart in the database, you need to add the following line to the config/shopping_cart.php configuration file:

'storage' => 'Ricadesign\LaravelCart\DBStorage',

After configure storage, you must run:

php artisan migrate

In case you are using DBStorage, you can configure the number of days you want to remain the cart on database in config/laravel-cart.php configuration file:

'prunable_days' => 14,

In order to clear periodically the database_carts table you can include this line in schedule:

$schedule->command('model:prune', [
            '--model' => [DatabaseStorageModel::class],
        ])->daily();

Endpoints

This package includes a set of pre-configured endpoints that allow you to manage the cart quickly and easily. The endpoints are protected by default authentication, so only authenticated users can perform actions on the cart.

• GET /api/cart: returns the contents of the cart.
• POST /api/cart: adds a product to the cart. The request body must include the product id, name, price, quantity and optionally an array of options.
• PUT /api/cart: updates the quantity of a product in the cart.
• PUT /api/cart/increment: updates the quantity of a product in the cart.
• DELETE /api/cart: removes a product from the cart.
