TheCart

TheCart is an implementation of a cart that utilizes Redis's awesomeness.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'the_cart'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install the_cart

create an initializer in config/initializers/the_cart.rb:

TheCart.configure do |c|
  #...
end

The following options exist:

• redis: an existing Redis connection, defaults to a Redis.new instance.

TheCart consists of two main actors, Shopper and Item.

To add shopping abilities to a class, add the following:

  include TheCart::Shopper

and the cartify directive:

  cartify cart_expires_in: 12

cart_expires_in lets TheCart know in how many hours the cart key in redis should be expired, defaults to 24 hours.

To allow the shopper to add items to the cart, all classes that can be added should include the following:

  include TheCart::Item

and the following configuration:

  cartify_item track: [field1, field2,...], price_field: :price

Those track fields/attributes/methods return values will be cached in Redis after everytime you save the item instance, note that your ORM needs to implement after_save since TheCart utilizes those callbacks to update the cached data from Redis.

The id attribute will automatically be cached.

price_field is the name of the attribute / method that returns the item price, defaults to :price

@user.cart # => returns a hash of the tracked item fields currently cached, with quantity

@user.add_item_to_cart(@product)

@user.remove_item_from_cart(@product)

@user.cart_count #=> will return the actual item count, quantity considered.

@user.cart_total #= 3000.0
