Accessing the Cart throughout application about cart HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

Personally I bind the class as a singleton into Laravel 4's IoC container, so the same instance is used everywhere.

A better way I could do this is by creating a Facade, that way Laravel can automatically instantiate the class and provide a nice static API. So everywhere you see $cart->method() you'll be able to use syntax like Cart::method()

I should be able to get a Facade in tonight. I'll keep this issue open for this feature.

That would be the best! Thanks a ton for being so responsive! I'm going to be counting on this package for my future projects.

Just created a new package moltin/laravel-cart which provides a service provider and facade for Laravel 4.

To install this just replace moltin/cart with moltin/laravel-cart in your composer.json file. Then if your app/config/app.php file add:

'Moltin\Cart\CartServiceProvider'

to your providers array and

'Cart' => 'Moltin\Cart\Facade'

to your aliases array. You'll then be able to access your cart from anywhere in your application by using Cart::method()

Hope this helps and if you have any issues then please let me know.

The Facade seems to be working, except that the cart isn't being retained across requests.

A simple test like this:

Cart::insert(array(
'id' => 'foo',
'name' => 'bar',
'price' => 100,
'quantity' => 1,
'tax' => 20
));

foreach( Cart::contents(true) as $item ) :
print_r($item);
endforeach;

The Cart contents aren't being stored in Session or Locally ... is there some other configuration that needs to happen for the Cart to exists throughout the App?

Try updating to the latest version. This issue should now be resolved.
