Adding Items to the Cart ​

To add items to the cart, you have two options: using Cart::add() or cart()->add(). These methods allow you to specify the details of the item you want to add.

Method Signature ​

php
Cart::add(mixed $id, string $name, int $quantity = 1, float $price, array $options = [], float|null $taxrate = null);
Cart::add(mixed $id, string $name, int $quantity = 1, float $price, array $options = [], float|null $taxrate = null);

or

php
cart()->add(mixed $id, string $name, int $quantity = 1, float $price, array $options = [], float|null $taxrate = null);
cart()->add(mixed $id, string $name, int $quantity = 1, float $price, array $options = [], float|null $taxrate = null);

Parameters ​

  • $id (mixed): The unique identifier of the item.
  • $name (string): The name of the item.
  • $quantity (int, optional, default: 1): The quantity of the item.
  • $price (float): The price of the item.
  • $options (array, optional): Additional options for the item.
  • $taxrate (float|null, optional): Tax rate for the item.

Example ​

Using Cart::add():

php
use RealRashid\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Adding a sample product
Cart::add(1, 'Sample Product', 2, 25.00, ['size' => 'M', 'color' => 'Blue'], 10);
use RealRashid\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Adding a sample product
Cart::add(1, 'Sample Product', 2, 25.00, ['size' => 'M', 'color' => 'Blue'], 10);

Using cart()->add():

php
cart()->add(1, 'Sample Product', 2, 25.00, ['size' => 'M', 'color' => 'Blue'], 10);
cart()->add(1, 'Sample Product', 2, 25.00, ['size' => 'M', 'color' => 'Blue'], 10);

In this example, we're adding 2 units of a 'Sample Product' with a price of $25.00 each, specifying options for size and color, and applying a tax rate of 10%.

Details ​

  • The $id parameter should be a unique identifier for the item, allowing you to distinguish it from other items in the cart.
  • $name is a string that represents the name or description of the item.
  • $quantity denotes the number of units of the item you want to add. It's optional and defaults to 1.
  • $price represents the cost of a single unit of the item.
  • $options is an array that can be used to provide additional information about the item, such as size, color, etc.
  • $taxrate allows you to specify a tax rate for the item. It's optional.

Remember to replace the sample values in the example with the actual details of the item you want to add.

That's it! You're now ready to start adding items to your shopping cart using the Cart package.
