This is a great feature - however I would like to have some of the previous tasks in #370 completed first, as folks are working on those, there might be huge conflicts. So for that reason I am putting this on hold, will be opened as time comes.

Hi @PatilHarshh , you can start to work on this !

[tamalCodes]

Hi @PatilHarshh I need some clarifications on the issue too, let's just make sure we are on the same page.

• currently, the product has no detailed page, so there is no proper add to cart button. It is currently added in Product description page is missing #701 , so we would need to get the add to cart button there ONCE IT IS COMPLETED.
• So I was wondering if you could explain me in details what are the changes you are making so that we know that there wont be any conflicts !

so, my issue was about whenever client wish to buy product so he will generally click on "cart" so it will update the page the product page that client add products and finally payment gateway... @tamalCodes

Interesting, so I think it will be better to go step by step. For example, we have no current way of tracking the cart, there's no proper schema, or API defined for it in the backend.

So here's how you can proceed

• let us first make sure there's an API to fetch a single product, which is currently being worked on in [FEATURE] API to fetch single product from the database #804
• Then when we have an API we can make our API add single / multiple product to the cart
• Then we can have proper FE for the same.

So what I suggest is to wait for a while !
Once that issue is done/API is ready, you can start working on this.

How does this sounds ?

Sure no problem...

Cool.

Hi @PatilHarshh , #804 has been completed, we now have an API to fetch a single product, you can now start with making an API that has the ability to add any product to the cart.

• Make sure we have a proper cart schema!
• We also need to make sure that the items in the cart are removable, or that more items can be added to the cart
• We also need to make sure that the cart persists, and you cannot add to the cart if you are not logged in.
• The cart is unique for every user so make sure it is done with care.

Assigning this to you.
Please make sure that you have read our documentation on Commiting guidelines and Pull request guidelines, without proper format the PR might be closed.

@tamalCodes ok
looking...

[PatilHarshh]

hey @tamalCodes how you want to add the cart on click on cart button passing user id and product id with request this need to change the user Schema for that . Or Alternative of this will be to work on frontent react tools only

[tamalCodes]

Hi @PatilHarshh , this issue is related to making an API for adding a product to a cart. For example, in our schema, we can add a new array to the User's schema where we have an array.

So whenever the user calls the add-to-cart API, we push the product itself in that API which in turn get's added to that array. Check this schema.
