Step 1: Set Up Laravel Project

Installing a fresh new laravel application, so head over to the terminal, type the command, and create a new laravel app.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel cart

Step 2: Set Up Database Details in ENV

Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password

Step 3: Setup laravelshoppingcart package

composer require "darryldecode/cart"

Open config/app.php and add this line to your Service Providers Array.

Darryldecode\Cart\CartServiceProvider::class

Open config/app.php and add this line to your Aliases

'Cart' => Darryldecode\Cart\Facades\CartFacade::class

Optional configuration file (useful if you plan to have full control)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Darryldecode\Cart\CartServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Create Product Model with Migration

php artisan make:model Product -m

product migration file

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateProductsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->double('price');
            $table->text('description');
            $table->string('image');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('products');
    }
}

product model file

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'price',
        'image',
        'description',
    ];
}

Create Product Seeder

php artisan make:seeder ProductSeeder
<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use App\Models\Product;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class ProductSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        Product::create([
            'name' => 'Watch',
            'price' => 250,
            'description' => 'Good watch',
            'image' => 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1523275335684-37898b6baf30?ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=989&q=80'
        ]);
        Product::create([
            'name' => 'Bag',
            'price' => 350,
            'description' => 'Good Bag',
            'image' => 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1491637639811-60e2756cc1c7?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=669&q=80'
        ]);
        Product::create([
            'name' => 'perfume',
            'price' => 100,
            'description' => 'Good perfume',
            'image' => 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528740561666-dc2479dc08ab?ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1868&q=80'
        ]);
    }
}

Now create controller and routes

php artisan make:controller ProductController

And

php artisan make:controller CartController

Create Routes in web.php

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\CartController;
use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/


Route::get('/', [ProductController::class, 'productList'])->name('products.list');
Route::get('cart', [CartController::class, 'cartList'])->name('cart.list');
Route::post('cart', [CartController::class, 'addToCart'])->name('cart.store');
Route::post('update-cart', [CartController::class, 'updateCart'])->name('cart.update');
Route::post('remove', [CartController::class, 'removeCart'])->name('cart.remove'); // you can use delete method
Route::post('clear', [CartController::class, 'clearAllCart'])->name('cart.clear'); // you can use delete method

Add Code Logic In Controller
app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Product;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    public function productList()
    {
        $products = Product::all();

        return view('products', compact('products'));
    }
}

app/Http/Controllers/CartController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class CartController extends Controller
{
    public function cartList()
    {
        $cartItems = \Cart::getContent();
        // dd($cartItems);
        return view('cart', compact('cartItems'));
    }


    public function addToCart(Request $request)
    {
        \Cart::add([
            'id' => $request->id,
            'name' => $request->name,
            'price' => $request->price,
            'quantity' => $request->quantity,
            'attributes' => array(
                'image' => $request->image,
            )
        ]);
        session()->flash('success', 'Product is Added to Cart Successfully !');

        return redirect()->route('cart.list');
    }

    public function updateCart(Request $request)
    {
        \Cart::update(
            $request->id,
            [
                'quantity' => [
                    'relative' => false,
                    'value' => $request->quantity
                ],
            ]
        );

        session()->flash('success', 'Item Cart is Updated Successfully !');

        return redirect()->route('cart.list');
    }

    public function removeCart(Request $request)
    {
        \Cart::remove($request->id);
        session()->flash('success', 'Item Cart Remove Successfully !');

        return redirect()->route('cart.list');
    }

    public function clearAllCart()
    {
        \Cart::clear();

        session()->flash('success', 'All Item Cart Clear Successfully !');

        return redirect()->route('cart.list');
    }
}
