README

This package contains the core implementation that powers AIArmada Cart. It is published as aiarmada/cart on Packagist and intended for Laravel 12 applications seeking a feature-rich shopping cart engine.

Highlights

📦 Pluggable storage – session, cache, and database drivers that implement a shared interface.
🛒 Composable cart architecture – traits manage items, totals, metadata, and conditions.
🔁 Multi-instance by default – support any number of cart buckets per user or session.
🧮 Accurate calculations – Akaunting\Money integration for precise totals and rounding.
📈 Observability hooks – metrics, conflict tracking, and per-operation performance measurements.

Documentation

The full project documentation lives in the repository root under docs/. Start with:

JSON vs JSONB (PostgreSQL)

Migrations default to portable json columns. To opt into jsonb on a fresh install, set one of the following BEFORE running migrations:

COMMERCE_JSON_COLUMN_TYPE=jsonb
# or per-package override
CART_JSON_COLUMN_TYPE=jsonb

Or run the interactive setup:

php artisan commerce:configure-database

When using PostgreSQL + jsonb, GIN indexes are created automatically on items, conditions, and metadata.

Local Development

Clone the monorepo and install dependencies:

composer install
vendor/bin/pest

When editing code:

Keep strict types and typed signatures.
Honour StorageInterface when extending storage implementations.
Update or add tests for behavioural changes.
Format using vendor/bin/pint --dirty.

Testing

Run the unit suite for the core package:

vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit

Use Pest filters (--group, --filter) to target specific areas.
