Cart Laravel Package

A flexible, polymorphic cart system for Laravel applications. This package allows you to add any model to a cart (Products, Services, etc.) and handles both authenticated and guest (cookie-based) shopping carts seamlessly.

Features

• 🔄 Polymorphic: Add any Eloquent model to the cart.
• 🍪 Guest Support: Automatically handles guest carts using UUID-based cookies.
• 👤 Auth Integration: Links guest carts to users upon creation/authentication.
• 🛠 Configurable: Customize table names, models, and cookie settings.
• 🧠 Smart Scoping: Automatically filters carts by the current session/cookie.
• ⚡ Auto-Caching: Intelligent caching system that refreshes on updates for optimal performance.
• 🔌 Ready-to-use Traits: Simple integration with User and Product models.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require osamaelnagar/cart

Setup

1. Publish Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=cart-config

2. Run Migrations

php artisan migrate

3. Prepare Your Models

The User Model

Add the Carter trait to your User model to enable the relationship:

use OsamaElnagar\Cart\Traits\Carter;

class User extends Authenticatable {
    use Carter;
}

The Cartable Model (e.g., Product)

Add the Cartable trait to any model you want to add to the cart:

use OsamaElnagar\Cart\Traits\Cartable;

class Product extends Model {
    use Cartable;
}

Basic Usage

Using the Facade

use OsamaElnagar\Cart\Facades\Cart;

// Add an item to the cart
Cart::add($product, $quantity = 1);

// Get all items in the current cart (automatically scoped by session/cookie)
$items = Cart::get();

// Update quantity
Cart::update($cartItemId, $newQuantity);

// Get total price (assumes cartable model has a 'price' attribute)
$total = Cart::total();

// Get the number of unique items types in cart
$count = Cart::itemsCount();

// Get the total quantity of all items combined
$qty = Cart::totalQuantity();

// Remove specific item
Cart::delete($cartItemId);

// Clear entire cart
Cart::clean();

Automatic Scoping

The package uses a CartScope that automatically filters results by the cart_id cookie. You don't need to worry about manually filtering by user or session ID for basic retrieval.

// This will only return items belonging to the current visitor's session
$myCartItems = \OsamaElnagar\Cart\Models\Cart::all();

Hooks & Events (Professional Control)

The package dispatches events throughout the cart lifecycle, allowing you to hook into any action:

• OsamaElnagar\Cart\Events\ItemAdding: Before an item is added.
• OsamaElnagar\Cart\Events\ItemAdded: After an item is added/incremented.
• OsamaElnagar\Cart\Events\ItemUpdated: After an item quantity is updated.
• OsamaElnagar\Cart\Events\ItemDeleted: After an item is removed.
• OsamaElnagar\Cart\Events\CartCleared: After the cart is emptied.

Example: Listening for Cart Additions

In your EventServiceProvider:

protected $listen = [
    \OsamaElnagar\Cart\Events\ItemAdded::class => [
        \App\Listeners\SyncCartToMarketingTool::class,
    ],
];

Extensions & Macros

The Cart repository uses Laravel's Macroable trait, meaning you can add your own methods to the Cart facade at runtime.

// In a ServiceProvider boot method
Cart::macro('getWeight', function () {
    return $this->get()->sum(fn($item) => $item->cartable->weight * $item->quantity);
});

// Use it anywhere
$totalWeight = Cart::getWeight();

Configuration

Check config/cart.php for customization options:

• log_enabled: Enable or disable package-wide logging (useful for debugging).
• user_model: The model used for user authentication.
• table_name: The database table name for cart items.
• cache: Configure caching behavior (enable/disable, lifetime, prefix).
• cookie: Settings for the guest cart cookie (name, lifetime).
