Associating a Model with a Cart Item ​

To associate a product model with a specific item in the cart, you can use either Cart::associate() or cart()->associate().

Method Signatures ​

php
Cart::associate(mixed $id, mixed $model);
Cart::associate(mixed $id, mixed $model);

or

php
cart()->associate(mixed $id, mixed $model);
cart()->associate(mixed $id, mixed $model);

Parameters ​

  • $id (mixed): The unique identifier of the item you want to associate with the model.
  • $model (mixed): The model you want to associate with the item.

Example ​

Using Cart::associate():

php
use RealRashid\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Associate the product model with the cart item
Cart::associate($id, $product);
use RealRashid\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Associate the product model with the cart item
Cart::associate($id, $product);

Using cart()->associate():

php
// Associate the product model with the cart item
cart()->associate($id, $product);
// Associate the product model with the cart item
cart()->associate($id, $product);

You can also achieve this in a single step by using Cart::add() or cart()->add() with the associate() method:

php
use RealRashid\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Adding a product and associating it with the model in one step
Cart::add($product->id, $product->name, 1, $product->price)->associate($product->id, $product);
use RealRashid\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Adding a product and associating it with the model in one step
Cart::add($product->id, $product->name, 1, $product->price)->associate($product->id, $product);

or

php
// Adding a product and associating it with the model in one step
cart()->add($product->id, $product->name, 1, $product->price)->associate($product->id, $product);
// Adding a product and associating it with the model in one step
cart()->add($product->id, $product->name, 1, $product->price)->associate($product->id, $product);

In both examples, we're associating a product model with a specific item in the cart.

Details ​

  • The $id parameter should be the unique identifier of the item you want to update.
  • The $model parameter should be the model you want to associate with the item.

Remember to replace the sample values in the example with the actual ID and model you want to associate.

That's it! You're now equipped to associate a model with a cart item using the Cart package.
