Total Number of Items

[matalina]

This is probably a function you want to add. Most carts these days display the total number of items in the cart. I see no function for this. Not hard for me to write, but thought I'd mention it.

Use:
Cart::getContent()->count();

Cart is a instance of the CartCollection.. You can use all functions of Collect library of laravel.

Sorry for re-opening a closed issue, but I have a question about this subject. I need the total number of items, but not the Collections' items, but rather the total 'quantities' for all items in the cart. For example, I have Item1 x 2 and Item 2 x 5. The count should be 7, not 2.

I guess your issue is the same with this pull request: #13

Didn't merged it yet as I was waiting for another suggestion of a good method name for this as this a bit confusing with the existing Cart::getContent()->count().

for the meantime, you can just do like this as workaround.

$count = 0;

$items = Cart::getContent();

foreach ($items as $item) {
    $count += $item->quantity;
 }

I submitted a pull request for the same thing, just saw there already was one, my bad.
