How to remove item from cart through session laravel 5.6?

I stored the items into cart via sessions.

Add items into cart code:

Cart Class:

  <?php
namespace App;

Class Cart
{

    public $item  = null ; //group of products
    public $totalQty = 0;
    public $totalPrice = 0;


    public function __construct($oldCart)
    {
       //if card already exists
      if($oldCart){
          
          $this->item        = $oldCart->item;
          $this->totalQty    = $oldCart->totalQty;
          $this->totalPrice  = $oldCart->totalPrice;


      }
    }

    public function add($item,$id)
    {
       
       $storedItem  = [
                        'qty' => 0,
                        'price' => $item->price,
                        'item'  => $item,
                       ];

        if($this->item){

             if(array_key_exists($id, $this->item)){

                 $storedItem = $this->item[$id];
             }
        }

        $storedItem['qty']++; //add each time qty 

        $storedItem['price'] = $item->price * $storedItem['qty'];

        $this->item[$id] = $storedItem;

        $this->totalQty++;

        $this->totalPrice += $item->price;

    }
}

Controller method that adds items into cart


// add to cart function 
    public function add_to_cart(request $request)
    {
      
      $product = Product::find($request->id);
      $oldCart = Session::has('cart') ? Session::get('cart') : null;

      $cart    = new cart($oldCart);

      $cart->add($product,$request->id);

      $request->session()->put('cart',$cart); //save into session 

      //$request->session()->get('cart');//for get what is in cart

      $totalItems = Session::get('cart')->totalQty;

      return response()->json(['success' => 'Added to cart!','totalItems' => $totalItems]);

    }

View Showing all items in cart code:

@foreach($products as $key => $product)
                               <tr width="100%">

                                  <td width="20%" class="text-center removeBtn"><img src="{{asset('frontEnd/images/delete-icn.svg')}}" data-product="{{$product['item'][$key]}}"></td>
                                  <td width="20%"><img src="{{Storage::url($product['item']['cover'])}}" class="img-rounded"></td>

                                  <td width="20%" class="text-center">{{$product['item']['product']}}</td>
                                  <td width="20%" class="text-center">{{$product['price']}}</td>
                                  <td width="20%" class="text-center">
                                    
                                       <button class="plus-btn" type="button" name="button">
                                         <img src="{{asset('frontEnd/images/plus.svg')}}" alt="" />
                                     </button>
                                     <input type="text" name="name" value="1" style="width:20%;height:5px;">
                                    <button class="minus-btn" type="button" name="button">
                                           <img src="{{asset('frontEnd/images/minus.svg')}}" alt="" />
                                    </button>
                                    
                                    
                                 </td>

                               </tr>

                              @endforeach

Remove Item method:

public function removeProductFromCart(Request $request)
    {
          $product = $request->product;
          
          unset($request->product); // it removes items  but temporary.when i refresh the page then the item is 
// shown me.

          return response()->json(['info' => 'Item Remove From Cart!']);
    }

Please give me solution.pleaseeee

Unsetting the product from your Request object isn't going to remove it from the session.

It looks like you might want to add a remove() method to your Cart class, and then update the session?

@TALINON - hello thanks for your reply.i just want to remove item from cart via session..

Talinon's avatar

@mubeenali There is no short-cut to just remove it from the session - because how is your qty and prices supposed to update?

You need to pretty much do the same thing you're doing when you're adding to your cart.

Get the cart from the session, instantiate your Cart class with the session data, call a method that handles the remove logic, and then put it back into the session.

@mubeenali Did you write the original Cart code above, or are you editing an existing project?

Hi @Mubeenali

public function removeProductFromCart(Request $request)
    {
         // $product = $request->product;
          
         $request->session()->flush();  // it removes all items !.

          return response()->json(['info' => 'Item Remove From Cart!']);
    }

or delete specific key :

public function removeProductFromCart(Request $request)
    {
         // $product = $request->product;
          
             $request->session()->forget('product');  //it removes product object.

             return response()->json(['info' => 'Item Remove From Cart!']);
    }

@MUBEENALI - please see the second example on the first post:

public function removeProductFromCart(Request $request)
    {
         // $product = $request->product;
          
             $request->session()->forget('product');  //it removes product object.

             return response()->json(['info' => 'Item Remove From Cart!']);
    }

@JLRDW - i tried all stackoverflow answer nothing is working in my case

You put in a temp array, remove item, then rewrite to session.

$tmp = Session::get('yoursession'); 

unset($tmp[$key]); 

Session::set('yoursession', $tmp);

Not tested, on mobile now.

But something close to that should work.

Of course replace $key with actual key.

Level 1
// Get id of product
$id = $request->product;

// Get the product array
$cart = Session::get('cart');

// Unset the first index (or provide an index)
unset($cart->item[$id]); 

// Overwrite the product session
Session::put('cart', $cart);
