Interesting Piece of Code

I chose this piece of code because this post mapping checks the shopping cart to see whether an item is present, and if so it will update the quantity rather than a duplicate item.

@PostMapping("products/{product_id}")
    public ShoppingCart addItemToCart(Principal principal, @PathVariable int product_id) {
        try
        {
            // get the currently logged-in username
            String userName = principal.getName();
            // find database user by userId
            User user = userDao.getByUserName(userName);
            int userId = user.getId();

            ShoppingCart shoppingCart = getCart(principal);

            for (Map.Entry<Integer, ShoppingCartItem> item : shoppingCart.getItems().entrySet()) {
                if (item.getValue().getProductId() == product_id) {
                    shoppingCartDao.updateItemInCart(userId, product_id);
                    return getCart(principal);
                }
            }

            shoppingCartDao.addItemToCart(userId, product_id);

        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "Oops... our bad.");
        }
        return getCart(principal);
    }

Error Handling

Failure to load the cart

If there was an error trying to load the cart

.catch(error => {
	const data = {
		error: 'Load cart failed.',
	}

	templateBuilder.append('error', data, 'errors')
})

Error clearing the cart

If there was an error trying to clear the cart

.catch(error => {
	const data = {
		error: 'Empty cart failed.',
	}

	templateBuilder.append('error', data, 'errors')
})

Error checking out shopping cart

If there was an error checking out the user's shopping cart

.catch(error => {
	const data = {
		error: 'Empty cart failed.',
	}

	templateBuilder.append('error', data, 'errors')
})
