What’s on the horizon for CoCart
Working on
A quick look at what the CoCart is actively working on right now.
Cache Products API
Unless the product is managing stock, or changing prices, the product remains the same. Allow cache plugins to cache all product routes and update the cache when a product is updated.
Logs user ID and cart key separately
No longer handle user ID as cart key for registered customers. Opens flexibility for possible “POS” Point of Sale.
Batch Support
Handle multiple cart requests at once and return a single cart response.
RateLimiter for the API
Provide more control on who/what has access to the API to prevent abuse on endpoints from excessive calls and performance degradation.
Basic Authentication Enhanced
Customers can now be authenticated with their billing phone number as the username with their password.
Code Reference
Want to know what’s going on inside CoCart? The Code Reference will provide a catalog of information about the CoCart functions, classes, methods and hooks you can use for supporting your plugins or expanding CoCart to your needs.
Postman Collection
One of the best tools for testing any REST API.
