CoCart

Getting the correct returned response are important when using the REST-API so providing the option to return the whole cart without the need to call it again is also important.

Now when you add an item to the cart, update item quantity, remove item or restore an item. You can now return the whole cart contents rather than the default response if requested.

For e.g. by default when adding an item to cart, only that item would return it’s details. So before that happens if the return cart parameter is used, the whole of the cart is instead returned with that added item.

Pretty sweat right!

I’m sure developers will find this useful. What do you think of this improvement coming?

Version 2 is still in development so please come back for more news as it develops.

Thank you.

I thought I share some more news on what is coming to v2 of CoCart. Progress is being made the project is not dead though with the release of v3.6 of WooCommerce I thought it was going to be but that was solved quickly.

Now one popular request was to get a specific customers cart. I thought this might be a difficult challenge maybe by creating a new cart table in the database but it turns out WooCommerce already has a feature that is probably only known to those who read the whole of the WooCommerce source code.

So those with administrator capabilities can now add a new parameter for the customers ID number. When called it will get the cart contents from that specific customer from when they were logged in last. I don’t see any other user role that would need to access a customers cart. Feel free to comment below if you feel otherwise.

On top of that I have also applied a filter that allows you to apply additional information to return for the items in the cart.

Version 2 is still in development so please come back for more news as it develops.

Thank you.
