Cart & Wishlist System - Complete Implementation

Overview

Completely redesigned cart and wishlist functionality with a clean, simple, and robust implementation. All complex retry logic and duplicate code have been removed.

What Was Fixed

Problems Eliminated

1. ❌ Removed: Duplicate state managers (state-manager.js, multiple cart implementations)
2. ❌ Removed: Complex retry logic with setTimeout causing infinite loops
3. ❌ Removed: Race conditions from AppState not initializing
4. ❌ Removed: Excessive debugging console.log statements
5. ❌ Removed: Broken cart.js initialization code

New Implementation

✅ Single Source of Truth: One clean file handling everything - shop-system.js ✅ No Dependencies: Self-contained system that works immediately ✅ Simple API: Easy-to-use global window.ShopSystem object ✅ Built-in Notifications: Toast notifications for user feedback ✅ localStorage Persistence: Cart and wishlist survive page refreshes ✅ Responsive Dropdowns: Click cart/wishlist icons to see items with images

How It Works

Architecture

shop-system.js (Single File)
├── ShopState Class
│   ├── Cart Management (add, remove, update quantity)
│   ├── Wishlist Management (add, remove)
│   ├── localStorage Persistence
│   ├── Badge Updates (show item counts)
│   ├── Dropdown Rendering (with product images)
│   └── Notification System (toast messages)
└── Global: window.ShopSystem

Usage Examples

From Shop Page (Product Cards)

// Add to cart button
<button onclick="addToCart('123', 'Product Name', 29.99, '/path/to/image.jpg')">
  Add to Cart
</button>

// Add to wishlist button
<button onclick="addToWishlist('123', 'Product Name', 29.99, '/path/to/image.jpg')">
  Add to Wishlist
</button>

Direct API Access

// Add product to cart
window.ShopSystem.addToCart({
  id: '123',
  name: 'Product Name',
  price: 29.99,
  imageurl: '/path/to/image.jpg'
}, 1); // quantity

// Add product to wishlist
window.ShopSystem.addToWishlist({
  id: '123',
  name: 'Product Name',
  price: 29.99,
  imageurl: '/path/to/image.jpg'
});

// Remove from cart
window.ShopSystem.removeFromCart('123');

// Remove from wishlist
window.ShopSystem.removeFromWishlist('123');

// Update quantity
window.ShopSystem.updateCartQuantity('123', 5);

// Get cart total
const total = window.ShopSystem.getCartTotal(); // Returns number

// Get cart item count
const count = window.ShopSystem.getCartCount(); // Returns total items

Data Structure

Cart Item

{
  id: "123",              // String product ID
  name: "Product Name",   // String
  price: 29.99,          // Number
  imageurl: "/path.jpg", // String URL
  quantity: 2            // Number (added automatically)
}

Wishlist Item

{
  id: "123",              // String product ID
  name: "Product Name",   // String
  price: 29.99,          // Number
  imageurl: "/path.jpg"  // String URL
}

Testing Instructions

1. Open the shop page: http://localhost:5000/shop
2. Test Add to Cart:
   • Click any "Add to Cart" button on a product card
   • Should see green notification: "Product Name added to cart"
   • Cart badge should show "1"
3. Test Cart Dropdown:
   • Click cart icon in navigation
   • Should see dropdown with product image, name, price
   • Test quantity buttons (+/-)
   • Test remove button (X)
4. Test Add to Wishlist:
   • Click any heart icon on a product card
   • Should see green notification: "Product Name added to wishlist"
   • Wishlist badge should show "1"
5. Test Wishlist Dropdown:
   • Click heart icon in navigation
   • Should see dropdown with product image, name, price
   • Click "Add to Cart" button
   • Should add item to cart
6. Test Persistence:
   • Add items to cart and wishlist
   • Refresh page (F5)
   • Items should still be there
   • Badges should show correct counts

Browser Console

You should see these logs:

[ShopSystem] Loading...
[ShopState] Initializing...
[ShopState] Initialized - Cart: 0 Wishlist: 0
[ShopSystem] Ready!

When adding items:

[ShopState] Adding to cart: {id: "123", name: "Product", ...}
[ShopState] Adding to wishlist: {id: "456", name: "Other", ...}

Troubleshooting

Cart/Wishlist buttons not working

1. Open browser console (F12)
2. Check for errors
3. Type window.ShopSystem and press Enter
4. Should show: ShopState {cart: Array(0), wishlist: Array(0)}
5. If undefined, shop-system.js didn't load

Dropdowns not showing

1. Check console for errors
2. Verify IDs exist:
   • #cartToggle, #cartPanel, #cartContent, #cartCount
   • #wishlistToggle, #wishlistPanel, #wishlistContent, #wishlistCount

Images not showing

1. Check image URLs in products
2. Look for 404 errors in Network tab (F12)
3. Fallback to placeholder.svg if image fails

Items not persisting

1. Open Application tab in browser DevTools (F12)
2. Check Local Storage
3. Look for keys: skyart_cart and skyart_wishlist
4. Clear localStorage if corrupted: localStorage.clear()

Next Steps (Future Enhancements)

Potential Features

• Move to cart button in wishlist dropdown
• Quantity input field (type number directly)
• Clear all cart/wishlist buttons
• Product variants (size, color) in cart
• Save for later functionality
• Recently viewed products
• Recommended products based on cart items
• Email wishlist
• Share wishlist
• Stock availability checks
• Price drop notifications for wishlist items

Integration Points

• Connect to backend API for persistent storage
• User accounts (save cart/wishlist to server)
• Checkout flow integration
• Payment processing
• Order history

Code Quality

Advantages of New Implementation

✅ Single Responsibility: One class, one job ✅ No External Dependencies: Works standalone ✅ Immediate Execution: No waiting for initialization ✅ Error Handling: Try/catch for localStorage operations ✅ XSS Prevention: HTML escaping for user content ✅ Responsive: Works on mobile and desktop ✅ Accessible: ARIA labels on buttons ✅ Performant: Minimal DOM manipulation ✅ Maintainable: Clear, documented code ✅ Testable: Simple API, predictable behavior

Clean Code Practices

• Self-contained IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression)
• Clear method names (addToCart, removeFromCart)
• Consistent data structures
• Proper error handling
• HTML entity escaping
• Fallback images for errors
• Defensive programming (null checks)

Support

Files to Check if Issues Occur

1. /website/public/assets/js/shop-system.js - Main system
2. /website/public/shop.html - Shop page implementation
3. /website/public/product.html - Product page implementation
4. Browser console logs
5. Network tab (check JS file loads)

Quick Fixes

• Clear cache: Ctrl+Shift+R (hard refresh)
• Clear localStorage: F12 → Application → Local Storage → Right-click → Clear
• Check server: Verify localhost:5000 is running
• Check paths: All script src paths should be /assets/js/shop-system.js
