Shopping Cart Using Vue js 3 Composition API and Pinia Part 1

1 year ago admin Vuejs

In today's tutorial, we are going to create a shopping cart using Vue js 3 composition API and pinia, pinia is the new state management library recommended by vue team.


Packages we need

I assume that you have already created a Vue application, all the packages you need are in the JSON file below.

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
{
  "name": "vuejs-shopping-cart",
  "private": true,
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "vite build",
    "preview": "vite preview"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^5.2.0-beta1",
    "bootstrap-icons": "^1.8.2",
    "pinia": "^2.0.14",
    "sweetalert2": "^11.4.14",
    "vue": "^3.2.25",
    "vue-router": "^4.0.15"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@vitejs/plugin-vue": "^2.3.3",
    "vite": "^2.9.9"
  }
}

Add Bootstrap 5 & Bootstrap 5 Icons & Vue Router & Pinia to our project

Inside the src folder, we update the main.js file we add the routes, pinia, and the bootstrap 5 icons & styles.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import router from './router'
import App from './App.vue'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
import 'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js'
import 'bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons.css'
import 'sweetalert2/dist/sweetalert2.min.css';

createApp(App)
    .use(createPinia())
    .use(router)
    .mount('#app')                                                                                                 

Create store

Our project structure will be like the below:

> src
  > components
  > router
  > store

Inside the store folder, we add a new file index.js which contains the pinia store with getters, actions, and a global state.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
import { defineStore } from 'pinia'
import Swal from 'sweetalert2'

export const useShoppingStore = defineStore('shopping', {
    state: () => {
        return { 
            products: [
                {
                    id: 1,
                    name: 'Iphone 12',
                    price: 700,
                    image: 'https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/11/20/08/33/camera-1842202__480.jpg'
                },
                {
                    id: 2,
                    name: 'Samsung s10',
                    price: 400,
                    image: 'https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/03/27/19/43/samsung-1283938__340.jpg'
                },
                {
                    id: 3,
                    name: 'Samsung Tv',
                    price: 1200,
                    image: 'https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/06/30/18/19/tv-4308538__480.jpg'
                },
                {
                    id: 4,
                    name: 'Huwawei Mate',
                    price: 900,
                    image: 'https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/08/11/14/19/honor-2631271__340.jpg'
                }
            ],
            cartItems : []
        }
    },
    getters: {
        countCartItems(){
            return this.cartItems.length;
        },
        getCartItems(){
            return this.cartItems;
        }
    },
    actions: {
        addToCart(item) {
            let index = this.cartItems.findIndex(product => product.id === item.id);
            if(index !== -1) {
              this.products[index].quantity += 1;
              Swal.fire({
                position: 'top-end',
                icon: 'success',
                title: 'Your item has been updated',
                showConfirmButton: false,
                timer: 1500
              });
            }else {
              item.quantity = 1;
              this.cartItems.push(item);
              Swal.fire({
                position: 'top-end',
                icon: 'success',
                title: 'Your item has been saved',
                showConfirmButton: false,
                timer: 1500
              });
            }
        },
        incrementQ(item) {
            let index = this.cartItems.findIndex(product => product.id === item.id);
            if(index !== -1) {
                this.cartItems[index].quantity += 1;
                Swal.fire({
                    position: 'top-end',
                    icon: 'success',
                    title: 'Your item has been updated',
                    showConfirmButton: false,
                    timer: 1500
                });
            }
        },
        decrementQ(item) {
            let index = this.cartItems.findIndex(product => product.id === item.id);
            if(index !== -1) {
                this.cartItems[index].quantity -= 1;
                if(this.cartItems[index].quantity === 0){
                    this.cartItems = this.cartItems.filter(product => product.id !== item.id);
                }
                Swal.fire({
                    position: 'top-end',
                    icon: 'success',
                    title: 'Your item has been updated',
                    showConfirmButton: false,
                    timer: 1500
                });
            }
        },
        removeFromCart(item) {
            this.cartItems = this.cartItems.filter(product => product.id !== item.id);
            Swal.fire({
              position: 'top-end',
              icon: 'success',
              title: 'Your item has been removed',
              showConfirmButton: false,
              timer: 1500
            });
        }
        
    },
})

Create routes

Next in the router folder, we add a new file index.js which contains the routes.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
import { createRouter, createWebHashHistory } from 'vue-router'
import Home from '../components/Home.vue'
import Cart from '../components/Cart.vue'


const router = createRouter({
    history: createWebHashHistory(),
    routes: [
        {
            path: '/',
            name: 'home',
            component: Home
        },
        {
            path: '/cart',
            name: 'cart',
            component: Cart
        },
    ]
});

export default router

Create the Header component

Inside components, we add a new file Header.vue.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
<template>
    <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg rounded navbar-dark bg-dark">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <router-link class="navbar-brand" to="/">Vuejs3 Shopping Cart</router-link>
                <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
            <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
            </button>
            <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
                <ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
                    <li class="nav-item">
                        <router-link class="nav-link" aria-current="page" to="/">Home</router-link>
                    </li>
                    <li class="nav-item">
                        <router-link class="nav-link" to="/cart"><i class="bi bi-cart-check"></i> ({{data.countCartItems}})</router-link>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
    </nav>
</template>

<script setup>
    import { useShoppingStore } from '../stores'
    //get store
    const data = useShoppingStore();
</script>

<style>

</style>
