1.2. satchless.cart — shopping carts

1.2.1. Available Types

All of the following types are abstract and meant to be subclassed to implement their missing methods.

Note

Implementations provided by Satchless expect to work with price objects as implemented by the prices library.

class satchless.cart.CartLine

A single line in a shopping cart. Describes a product, its quantity and (optinal) data. Attributes: product, quantity, data.

Suitable for pickling.

class satchless.cart.Cart

A shopping cart. Contains a number of CartLine objects.

Suitable for pickling.

1.2.2. CartLine Objects

class satchless.cart.CartLine(product, quantity, data=None)

A CartLine object represents a single line in a shopping cart. It subclasses the ItemLine.

You should not have to create instances of this class manually. Use the Cart.add() method and let it construct lines as needed instead.

Instance methods:

CartLine.get_total(**kwargs)

See ItemLine.

For subclassing:

CartLine.get_price_per_item(**kwargs)

See ItemLine.

The default implementation passes all keyword arguments to self.product.get_price(). Override to implement discounts or caching.

1.2.3. Cart Objects

class satchless.cart.Cart(items=None)

A Cart object represents a shopping cart. It subclasses the ItemSet.

Instance attributes:

satchless.cart.modified

True if the object was modified since it was created/deserialized. False otherwise.

Useful if you need to persist the cart.

Instance methods:

Cart.__iter__()

Returns an iterator that yields CartLine objects contained in the cart.

See ItemSet.

Cart.add(product, quantity=1, data=None, replace=False)

If replace is False, increases quantity of the given product by quantity. If given product is not in the cart yet, a new line is created.

If replace is True, quantity of the given product is set to quantity. If given product is not in the cart yet, a new line is created.

If the resulting quantity of a product is zero, its line is removed from the cart.

Products are considered identical if both product and data are equal. This allows you to customize two copies of the same product (eg. choose different toppings) and track their quantities independently.

Cart.get_total(**kwargs)

Return a prices.Price object representing the total price of the cart.

See ItemSet.

For subclassing:

Cart.check_quantity(product, quantity, data)

Checks if given quantity is valid for the product and its data.

Default implementation will call product.check_quantity(quantity) if such a method exists. This is useful when working with satchless.item.StockedItem objects.

Cart.create_line(product, quantity, data)

Creates a CartLine given a product, its quantity and data. Override to use a custom line class.

Example use:

>>> import prices
>>> from satchless.item import Item
>>> from satchless.cart import Cart
>>> class Taco(Item):
...     def __repr__(self): return 'Taco()'
...     def get_price_per_item(self): return prices.Price(5, currency='CHF')
...
>>> cart = Cart()
>>> veggie_taco = Taco()
>>> cart.add(veggie_taco, quantity=3, data=['extra cheese'])
>>> cart.add(veggie_taco, data=['very small rocks'])
>>> cart.add(veggie_taco, data=['very small rocks'])
>>> list(cart)
[CartLine(product=Taco(), quantity=3, data=['extra cheese']),
 CartLine(product=Taco(), quantity=2, data=['very small rocks'])]
>>> cart.get_total()
Price('25', currency='CHF')
