Assuming they can add more than one thing to the cart, you'd maybe do something like :
// add an item to the cart
$request->session()->push('cart', $id);
// at checkout
$productIds = session('cart');

New to session. How to put this code in session ?
Hi, sessions is a new thing for me. I'm making a cart now and thinking how for non-registered user add products to his cart. This is my solution for registered user:
public function add(Request $request, $id)
{
Cart::create([
'user_id' => Auth::id(),
'product_id' => $id,
'quantity' => 5
]);
return redirect()->back();
}
I'm grabbing it's ID and then displaying his products in cart by his ID. But how to put this code in session ?

So if I pust this code in "add" function and when I press the "add to cart" button the product will add to session ?

Okay it seems to work.. I'm getting this when I do dd($productIds)
array:2 [▼
0 => "1"
1 => "1"
]
Is it good ?
How to get products titles, prices and quantities ?

Just find them in the db, I think just $products = Products::find($productIds) or whatever your products model is called.
