🛒 Exiguous Ecommerce

Exiguous Ecommerce is a super simple ecommerce library, that uses flat files and takes a very minimalistic approach.

Installation

Just run the following Composer command to download/install Exiguous Ecommerce and create relevant autoload files.

composer require divineomega/exiguous-ecommerce

If your framework does not already do so, you must add require_once "vendor/autoload.php" to any files in which you wish to use Exiguous Ecommerce.

Configuration

Exiguous Ecommerce stores all of its data within a data directory. An example data directory is provided in this package.

Before use, you should then copy the data directory to another location and then specify this location your project's environment. If you are using Laravel, this can be done by setting an EXIGUOUS_ECOMMERCE_DATA_DIRECTORY variable in your .env file, as follows.

EXIGUOUS_ECOMMERCE_DATA_DIRECTORY=/var/www/ecommerce-site/path-to-data-directory/

If you are not using a framework that supports this, you can use the standard PHP function putenv to set this environment variable. Alternatively, you could use dotenv-loader to add .env file support to your project.

Please note that it is important the EXIGUOUS_ECOMMERCE_DATA_DIRECTORY variable is set with a trailing slash present.

For security reasons, you should place the data directory in a location which is not web-accessible. In case the data directory is placed in a web accessible location by accident, a .htaccess file is provided that should deny web users access to the directory's content in most common web server configurations.

Quick Start Examples

Getting products and categories:

$category = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Category::findBySlug("fluffy-things");
$products = $category->products();

foreach($products as $product) {
    echo $product->data->name;
}

$product = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Product::findBySlug("teddy-bear");
$categories = $product->categories();

$mainCategoryName = $categories[0]->data->name;

Getting the current user's basket and adding a product to it:

$product = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Product::findBySlug("teddy-bear");

$basket = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Basket::findCurrent();

$basket->addProduct($product); // Add one Teddy Bear

$basket->addProduct($product, 2); // Add another two Teddy Bears!

var_dump($basket->items); // Outputs an array of, you guessed it, basket items! ^_^

// ^ This would show 1 basket item with a quantity of 3 teddy bears.

Removing a product from a basket:

$product = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Product::findBySlug("teddy-bear");

$basket = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Basket::findCurrent();

$basket->removeProduct($product); // Removes all teddy bears from the basket

Setting/Offsetting the quantity of a product in the basket:

$product = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Product::findBySlug("teddy-bear");

$basket = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Basket::findCurrent();

$basket->addProduct($product); // Add one Teddy Bear

$basket->setProductQuantity($product, 10); // Set the number of Teddy Bears in the basket to ten

$basket->offsetProductQuantity($product, 10); // Add ten more Teddy Bears

$basket->offsetProductQuantity($product, -5); // Remove five of those Teddy Bears

Migrating the basket to an order:

$basket = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Basket::findCurrent();

$basket->convertToOrder();

Getting and using settings:

// Retrieves settings from the core.json file within the .settings directory
$coreSettings = \DivineOmega\ExiguousEcommerce\Settings::find('core');

echo $coreSettings->data->primaryCurrency; // Output the ecommerce's primary currency setting
