In this tutorial, we will see how to create a shopping cart using Laravel, I assume that you have already created a Laravel project, the user can add products to the cart update the quantity, and remove products from the cart.
Install the package
First, we need to install the package we will use so run the command below:
composer require "darryldecode/cart
Create the Model & the Migration
Next, create a new model 'Product' with the migration that will create the products table.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
return new class extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*/
public function up(): void
{
Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('product_name');
$table->longtext('product_description');
$table->integer('product_price');
$table->string('product_image');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*/
public function down(): void
{
Schema::dropIfExists('products');
}
};
Create the controller
Next, create a new controller 'ProductController' inside we have only one function that returns all the products.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Product;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ProductController extends Controller
{
//
public function index()
{
$products = Product::all();
return view('welcome')->with([
'products' => $products
]);
}
}
