## Installation Install the package through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Edit your project's `composer.json` file by adding: "require": { "laravel/framework": "4.0.*", "gloudemans/shoppingcart": "dev-master" } Next, run the Composer update command from the Terminal: composer update Now all you have to do is add the service provider of the package and alias the package. To do this open your `app/config/app.php` file. Add a new line to the `service providers` array: '\Gloudemans\Shoppingcart\ShoppingcartServiceProvider' And finally add a new line to the `aliases` array: 'Cart' => 'Gloudemans\Shoppingcart\Facades\Cart', Now you're ready to start using the shoppingcart in your application. ## Usage The shoppingcart gives you the following methods to use: **Cart::add()** /** * Add a row to the cart * * @param string $id Unique ID of the item * @param string $name Name of the item * @param int $qty Item qty to add to the cart * @param float $price Price of one item * @param Array $options Array of additional options, such as 'size' or 'color' */ Cart::add('293ad', 'Product 1', 1, 9.99, array('size' => 'large')); **Cart::update()** /** * Update the quantity of one row of the cart * @param string $rowId The rowid of the item you want to update * @param integer $qty New quantity of the item * @return boolean */ $rowId = 'da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709'; Cart::update($rowId, 2); **Cart::remove()** /** * Remove a row from the cart * * @param string $rowId The rowid of the item * @return boolean */ $rowId = 'da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709'; Cart::remove($rowId); **Cart::get()** /** * Get a row of the cart by its ID * * @param string $rowId The ID of the row to fetch * @return CartRowCollection */ $rowId = 'da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709'; Cart::get($rowId); **Cart::content()** /** * Get the cart content * * @return CartCollection */ Cart::content(); **Cart::destroy()** /** * Empty the cart * * @return boolean */ Cart::destroy(); **Cart::total()** /** * Get the price total * * @return float */ Cart::total(); **Cart::count()** /** * Get the number of items in the cart * * @param boolean $totalItems Get all the items (when false, will return the number of rows) * @return int */ Cart::count(); // Total items Cart::count(false); // Total rows ## Collections As you might have seen, the `Cart::content()` and `Cart::get()` methods both return a Collection, a `CartCollection` and a `CartRowCollection`. These Collections extends the 'native' Laravel 4 Collection class, so all methods you know from this class can also be used on your shopping cart. With some addition to easily work with your carts content. ## Example Below is a little example of how to list the cart content in a table: // Controller Cart::add('192ao12', 'Product 1', 1, 9.99); Cart::add('1239ad0', 'Product 2', 2, 5.95, array('size' => 'large')); // View
| Product | Qty | Item Price | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
|
name;?> options->has('size') ? $row->options->size : '');?> |
$price;?> | $subtotal;?> |
