+---
+
+Allow calling the cart `.get()` method right after creating a new cart with
+one of the mutation methods: `create()`, `addLines()`, `updateDiscountCodes()`, `updateBuyerIdentity()`, `updateNote()`, `updateAttributes()`, `setMetafields()`.
+
+```ts
+import {
+  createCartHandler,
+  cartGetIdDefault,
+  cartSetIdDefault,
+} from '@shopify/hydrogen';
+
+const cartHandler = createCartHandler({
+  storefront,
+  getCartId: cartGetIdDefault(request.headers),
+  setCartId: cartSetIdDefault(),
+  cartQueryFragment: CART_QUERY_FRAGMENT,
+  cartMutateFragment: CART_MUTATE_FRAGMENT,
+});
+
+await cartHandler.addLines([{merchandiseId: '...'}]);
+// This change fixes a bug where `cart` would be null, even though a
+// new cart was created when adding a line item
+const cart = await cartHandler.get();
+```
