  • 8 minutes de lecture

    • The CartJS API provides methods that enable you to access a user's shopping cart.

    This API runs in the sn_sc namespace. The Service Catalog Scoped API plugin (ID: com.glideapp.servicecatalog.scoped.api) that is enabled by default is required to access the CartJS API.

    CartJS - CartJS(String cartName)

    Creates an instance of the CartJS class with the name of a defined cart for the user who is currently logged in.

    Tableau 1. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    cartName String Optional. Name of a defined cart for the user who is currently logged in. 
    var cart = new sn_sc.CartJS(cart1);

    CartJS - addToCart(Map request)

    Adds the request for a catalog item to the current cart.

    Tableau 2. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    request Map A JSON object that contains the details of the catalog item to be added to the cart.

    The structure of the request object is:

    {
'sysparm_id': item_id,
'sysparm_quantity': item_quantity,
'variables':{
'var_name': 'var_value',
...
}
}
    • item_id: sys_id of the item to be added to the cart
    • item_quantity: Number of items to be added. Default value is 1.
    • var_name: Name of the question.
    • var_value: Value of the answer (Not the display value).
    Tableau 3. Returns
    Type Description
    JSON Structure of the current cart.
    {
'subtotal': value,
'items':[
{
itemName:'',
quantity:'', 
price:'', 
recurring_price:''
} ...]
}

    This example shows how you can add multiple items to the cart. Note that var cart = new sn_sc.CartJS(); is inside the loop. You must call sn_sc.CartJS() multiple times to be able to add multiple items to the cart.

    for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) { 
var cart = new sn_sc.CartJS();
var item =
{
'sysparm_id': '0d08837237153000158bbfc8bcbe5d02',
'sysparm_quantity': '1',
'variables':{
'carrier': 'at_and_t_mobility',
'data_plan': '500MB',
'duration': 'eighteen_months',
'color': 'slate',
'storage': 'sixtyfour' 
}};
var cartDetails = cart.addToCart(item);
gs.info(JSON.stringify(cartDetails));
}

    Output

    //The cart after the first item is added
