Quick Start

use Darkraul79\Cartify\Facades\Cart;

// Add item to cart
Cart::add(
    id: 1,
    name: 'Product Name',
    quantity: 2,
    price: 29.99,
    options: ['color' => 'red', 'size' => 'M']
);

// Get cart content
$items = Cart::content();

// Calculate totals
$subtotal = Cart::subtotal();
$tax = Cart::tax(0.21); // 21% tax
$total = Cart::total(0.21);

// Update quantity
Cart::update(id: 1, quantity: 3);

// Remove item
Cart::remove(id: 1);

// Clear cart
Cart::clear();

// Count items
$count = Cart::count();

Usage

Multiple Instances

Use different cart instances for cart, wishlist, etc:

// Shopping cart
Cart::instance('cart')->add(1, 'Product A', 1, 29.99);

// Wishlist
Cart::instance('wishlist')->add(2, 'Product B', 1, 49.99);

// Get wishlist content
$wishlist = Cart::instance('wishlist')->content();

User Persistence

Store and restore cart for authenticated users:

// On login
Cart::restore(); // Restore saved cart

// On logout
Cart::store(); // Save cart

Merge Carts

Combine session cart with stored cart:

Cart::merge(); // Merge session cart with stored cart

Search Cart

$redItems = Cart::search(function ($item) {
    return $item['options']['color'] === 'red';
});

Helper Functions

// Get cart instance
$cart = cart();
$wishlist = cart('wishlist');

// Format price
echo format_price(29.99); // "29,99 €"

// Generate order number
$orderNumber = generate_order_number(); // "ORD-202501-A3F9E2"
