I'm trying to make cart items to stack dynamically every time on function call: addProduct(). The data which I want to work with was captured successfully but the problem is that on each function call the quantity always remains 1.
This is the logic which I implemented:
module.exports = function Cart(oldCart) {
this.productItems = oldCart.productItems || {};
this.totalQty = oldCart.totalQty || oldCart.totalQty==0.00;
this.totalPrice = oldCart.totalPrice || oldCart.totalPrice==0.00;
this.addProduct = function(item, id) {
//let storedItem = this.productItems = {item: item, qty: 0, price: 0};
/*Using this storedItem qty: 0, price: 0 for testing*/
if (!storedItem){
storedItem = this.productItems = {item: item, qty: 0, price: 0};
}
storedItem = {item: item, qty: storedItem.qty, price: storedItem.price}
storedItem.qty++;
storedItem.price = storedItem.item.price * storedItem.qty;
this.totalQty ++;
this.totalPrice += storedItem.price;
//this.productItems += storedItem;
console.log("Product items: ",this.productItems)
}
this.generateArray = function () {
let arr = [];
for (let id in this.productItems) {
arr.push(this.productItems);
}
return arr;
}};
When I remove line: let storedItem = this.productItems = {item: item, qty: 0, price: 0}; the result remains NaN. So how to solve this problem? Because the items are still at the quantity of 1 no matter how many API calls do I make.
Here is my app.post call:
app.post('/add-to-cart/:id', async (req, res) => {
try {
let id = req.params.id;
let cart = new Cart(req.body.cart ? req.body.cart : {});
const { data } = await axios.get('http://localhost:4200/products');
const singleProduct = await data.find((product) => product._id === id)
cart.addProduct(singleProduct, singleProduct._id)
req.body.cart = cart;
res.redirect('/');
console.log("console log cart",cart);
console.log(req.body);
}
catch (error){
console.log(error)
}
});
Here is my console.log result (every time the same):
How to solve this issue?
Your implementation of the Cart function seems to be fine. I'm wondering however if you're sending the correct data to your back end at each code. You could try to console log req.body.cart and check that it contains the previous content of the cart.
