A generic solution towards implementing a cart in your e-commerce application. This library has been created with ES6+ Javascript & uses SQLite 3 as its database. It is meant to be used in the backend as a pluggable Node.js library that caters any Node.js application seeking to intergate Cart functionality into their backend.
- Using npm:
$ npm install cart-easy - Using yarn:
$ yarn add cart-easy
- user id : A unique ID that identifies a cart against a certain user.
- content : The set of items present in that cart.
- name : Name of the cart item (required).
- price : Price of the cart item (required).
- multiplier : Quantity of the cart item (required).
- conditions : The set of conditions to be applied to the cart item (optional). Detailed description can be found below.
Note: Any other data is also accepted as per the User's requirment and will not affect the cart calculations.
- condition : A set of properties that affects that price of an Item present int he cart. A condtion can be expressed as an absolute value or in percentage. There can be 2 types of conditions:
- global condition: A set of condtions that is applied on the cart subtotal. If more than 1 of them are present, then a rank property with a value (>0) must be present in the global condition to assign their priority in the cart calculations.
- item condition: A set of conditions that is applied on the price of a cart item. If you ever want an item condition to act globally, then an isGlobal property with true as boolean value must be passed which will require you to pass a rank property with a value (>0), otherwise just pass isGlobal property with a false boolean value. > Note:
If multiple ranked conditions have the same rank, then their order in the request body will be followed during calculations.
Note: Both global and item conditions are optional and can be avoioded. Any other data is also accepted as per the User's requirement but will not affect the cart calculations.
const cart = require('cart-easy');
Have a look at the parameters below:
const userId = 'Some Unique ID';
const globalConditions = [
{
name: 'Condition 1', // Condition name is required
type: 'Anyting', // Depends on the Business
value: 100, // A positive value is required
action: 'ADD', // action can be one of "ADD" or "SUB" is required
isPercentage: false, // isPercentage can be true or false and is required
rank: 2, // rank is required when multiple globally applicable conditions are present
},
{
name: 'Condition 2',
type: 'Anything',
value: 100,
action: 'SUB',
isPercentage: true,
rank: 3,
},
];
const content = [
{
name: 'Item 1', // Item name is required
price: 100, // Item price is required
multiplier: 2, // Item multiplier is required
attributes: [], // Can be anything as per the business requirement
conditions: [
// Item Conditions are optional
{
name: 'Some Condition 1',
type: 'extra',
value: 20,
action: 'ADD',
isPercentage: true,
isGlobal: false, // Item condition's isGlobal can be true or false and is required
},
{
name: 'Item Condition 2',
type: 'discount',
value: 20,
action: 'SUB',
isPercentage: false,
isGlobal: true,
rank: 1, // a positive rank is required when item condition's isGlobal is true
},
],
},
{
name: 'Item 2',
price: 200,
multiplier: 1,
conditions: [
{
name: 'Some Condition 3',
type: 'addon',
value: 20,
action: 'ADD',
isPercentage: true,
isGlobal: false,
},
{
name: 'Some Condition 1',
type: 'promo',
value: 20,
action: 'SUB',
isPercentage: false,
isGlobal: true,
rank: 1,
},
],
},
];Note: The library will add the following unique identifiers: _itemId to every item inside the content while cart creation. _conditionId to every condition while cart creation.
