Cart is framework agnostic solution for shopping cart. There are two existing imlementations. First is Cart::Simple which is just basic cart which can store only ID of products without any metadata. The second is Cart::Advanced and it is good when you have not just product, but also some metadata as size or color of product etc.
require "cart/simple" Cart.product_model = Product
require "cart/advanced" Cart.metadata_model = OrderItem
Metadata model must respond to serialize object method and deserialize class method for storing and restoring data:
class OrderItem
include DataMapper::Resource
class << self
def deserialize(data)
self.new(YAML::load(data))
end
end
def serialize
{:size => self.size, :product_id => self.product.id}.to_yaml
end
end
Cart is just simple API for your favorite framework, so it haven’t any logger itself and it just use the logger of your framework. The only thing you need is setup it:
# whatever what respond to debug method Cart.logger = Merb.logger
Maybe you would like to hook the logger, for example add information that the message comes from cart or maybe you just use framework which hasn’t any logger at all. In this case you can set logger to lambda or whatever callable object:
# or whatever what respond to to_proc method
Cart.logger = method(:puts)
Cart.logger = lambda { |msg| puts(msg) }
class Application < Merb::Controller
# it must be deserialized in each request,
# even with memory session store
before :initialize_cart
def initialize_cart
@cart = cookies[:cart] ? Cart.load(cookies[:cart]) : Cart.new
end
def save_cart
cookies[:cart] = @cart.save
end
def reset_cart
cookies.delete(:cart)
@cart = Cart.new
end
def add_to_cart(order_item)
self.initialize_cart unless @cart
@cart.add(order_item)
self.save_cart
end
# Remove all the items with responding product and inverted values from cart
def remove_from_cart(order_item)
@cart.remove(order_item)
self.save_cart
end
