Type Alias: CreateCart()

CreateCart = () => Promise<{ cartId: string; }>

Function

Creates a new empty shopping cart.

This method initializes a new cart in the system, generating a unique identifier that can be used for subsequent cart operations. Creating a new cart is typically the first step in a shopping journey for a new session or after a previous cart has been completed or abandoned.

The created cart will be associated with the current user if they are authenticated, or tracked via session for guest users. Multiple carts can exist simultaneously, allowing for scenarios like saved carts, wish lists, or quote comparisons.

Returns

Promise<{ cartId: string; }>

A promise that resolves to an object containing the new cart's unique ID

Example

// Create a new empty cart at the beginning of a shopping session
const { cartId } = await window.mimeeqApp.actions.createCart();
console.log(`New cart created with ID: ${cartId}`);

// Store the cart ID for future operations
sessionStorage.setItem('currentCartId', cartId);

Emits

mimeeq-basket-created When the cart is successfully created with the new cart ID
