Usage

Fetching Recommendations by Cart

Get product recommendations based on the current shopping cart contents:

use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Facades\LaravelRecocube;
use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Data\RecoCartItem;
use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Data\RecoCartItemsCollection;

// Create cart items
$cartItems = new RecoCartItemsCollection([
    new RecoCartItem(product_id: 123, quantity: 2),
    new RecoCartItem(product_id: 456, quantity: 1),
]);

// Or add items one by one
$cartItems = new RecoCartItemsCollection();
$cartItems->addItem(new RecoCartItem(product_id: 123, quantity: 2));
$cartItems->addItem(new RecoCartItem(product_id: 456, quantity: 1));

// Fetch recommendations
$recommendations = LaravelRecocube::fetchRecoByCart($cartItems);

Fetching Recommendations by Product

Get recommendations based on a single product (coming soon):

use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Facades\LaravelRecocube;

$productId = 123;
$recommendations = LaravelRecocube::fetchRecoByProduct($productId);

Fetching Recommendations by Category

Get recommendations for a specific product category (coming soon):

use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Facades\LaravelRecocube;

$categoryId = 10;
$recommendations = LaravelRecocube::fetchRecoByCategory($categoryId);

Fetching Recommendations by User

Get personalized recommendations for a specific user (coming soon):

use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Facades\LaravelRecocube;

$userId = 42;
$recommendations = LaravelRecocube::fetchRecoByUser($userId);

Working with RecoCartItemsCollection

The RecoCartItemsCollection is a type-safe collection that only accepts RecoCartItem instances:

use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Data\RecoCartItem;
use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Data\RecoCartItemsCollection;

// Create an empty collection
$cartItems = new RecoCartItemsCollection();

// Add items using addItem()
$cartItems->addItem(new RecoCartItem(product_id: 100, quantity: 1));

// Add items using push()
$cartItems->push(new RecoCartItem(product_id: 200, quantity: 3));

// Add items using put()
$cartItems->put('key', new RecoCartItem(product_id: 300, quantity: 2));

// All standard Laravel Collection methods are available
$count = $cartItems->count();
$filtered = $cartItems->filter(fn($item) => $item->quantity > 1);

Example in a Controller

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Facades\LaravelRecocube;
use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Data\RecoCartItem;
use Ravols\LaravelRecocube\Data\RecoCartItemsCollection;

class RecommendationController extends Controller
{
    public function getCartRecommendations(Request $request)
    {
        $cart = $request->user()->cart;

        // Build cart items collection from your cart
        $cartItems = new RecoCartItemsCollection();
        foreach ($cart->items as $item) {
            $cartItems->addItem(
                new RecoCartItem(
                    product_id: $item->product_id,
                    quantity: $item->quantity
                )
            );
        }

        // Get recommendations
        $recommendations = LaravelRecocube::fetchRecoByCart($cartItems);

        return view('recommendations', [
            'recommendations' => $recommendations
        ]);
    }
}
