modular_cart_core #

A headless Dart cart engine for configurable products with option/modifier support and deterministic cart line identity.

modular_cart_core is immutable by design and focused on predictable pricing and merge behavior.

Features #

• Immutable models (Cart, CartLine, CartSelectedOption, Product, ProductOption).
• Configurable products with option-level quantities.
• Automatic normalization of options inside a CartLine:
  • duplicate option IDs are merged
  • option quantities are summed
  • options are sorted by option ID for stable identity
• Deterministic cart merge behavior:
  • Cart.withAddedLine merges only when line identity matches
  • line quantity is incremented on merge
• Built-in debug formatter via CartDebug.getString().
• UI-agnostic and storage-agnostic core domain layer.

Installation #

Prerequisites #

• Dart SDK ^3.10.4

Add dependency #

If using this repository directly:

dependencies:
  modular_cart_core:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/winnrz/modular_cart_core.git

Then run:

dart pub get

Usage #

Full runnable example: example/modular_cart_core_example.dart

import 'package:modular_cart_core/modular_cart_core.dart';

void main() {
  final rice = Product(id: 'rice', price: 10, metadata: {'name': 'Rice'});

  final eggs = ProductOption(id: 'eggs', price: 2, metadata: {'name': 'Eggs'});
  final bacon = ProductOption(id: 'bacon', price: 3, metadata: {'name': 'Bacon'});

  final line = CartLine(
    product: rice,
    selectedOptions: [
      CartSelectedOption(option: eggs, quantity: 2),
      CartSelectedOption(option: eggs, quantity: 3),
      CartSelectedOption(option: bacon, quantity: 1),
    ],
    quantity: 1,
  );

  final cart = Cart().withAddedLine(line);

  print(cart.getString());
  print('Cart total: ${cart.totalPrice}');
}

Expected output from cart.getString():

Cart contents:
-------------------------
Product: rice
  Base price: 10.0
  Quantity: 1
  Options:
    bacon - quantity: 1, unit price: 3.0, total: 3.0
    eggs - quantity: 5, unit price: 2.0, total: 10.0
  Line subtotal: 23.0
-------------------------
Cart total: 23.0

Core API #

• Product: base product identity (id) and price.
• ProductOption: option identity (id) and price.
• CartSelectedOption: selected option + quantity within a line.
• CartLine: one product selection with normalized selected options and line quantity.
• Cart:
  • withAddedLine(CartLine line)
  • withRemovedLineQuantity(CartLine line, int delta)
  • totalPrice
• CartDebug extension:
  • getString() for detailed debug output.

Data Model #

flowchart LR
  C["Cart"] -->|"has many"| CL["CartLine"]
  CL -->|"has one"| P["Product"]
  CL -->|"has many"| CSO["CartSelectedOption"]
  CSO -->|"references"| PO["ProductOption"]

Merge Rules #

• CartLine equality is based on:
  • product
  • normalized selectedOptions
• CartLine.quantity is not part of equality.
• CartSelectedOption equality includes:
  • option
  • quantity
• Because of this, two lines with the same product but different option quantities are treated as different lines.
