Adding multiple items, saving to db

[lstables]

I'm having an issue (or me not understanding) how to to save more than one item to my database.

If i die and dump Cart::contents() i get the following: which shows two items.

      protected 'addModifier' => int 1
      protected 'data' => 
        array (size=11)
          'id' => string '100' (length=3)
          'name' => string 'Beautiful Evening Dress' (length=23)
          'price' => string '35.00' (length=5)
          'quantity' => string '1' (length=1)
          'image' => string 'dtTCkLMT3C7lrYE6b1afd6H1hH5IyJ6hYnPWhQbHwkGgCIfhmaTsP9kUhxUr.jpg' (length=64)
          'path' => string 'category/new-in' (length=15)
          'description' => string 'Beautiful Evening Dress ' (length=24)
          'stock' => string '0' (length=1)
          'delivery' => string '3.99' (length=4)
          'colour' => string 'Black' (length=5)
          'size' => string '22' (length=2)
  '6de83ad2f06a80ee5b06ead51cb74fb5' => 
    object(Moltin\Cart\Item)[137]
      protected 'identifier' => string '6de83ad2f06a80ee5b06ead51cb74fb5' (length=32)
      protected 'store' => 
        object(Moltin\Cart\Storage\LaravelSession)[138]
          protected 'identifier' => null
          public 'id' => string '66f7ef23c389dcafb9394506a5b5d934' (length=32)
      protected 'tax' => 
        object(Moltin\Tax\Tax)[139]
          protected 'percentage' => int 0
          protected 'deductModifier' => int 1
          protected 'addModifier' => int 1
      protected 'data' => 
        array (size=11)
          'id' => string '53' (length=2)
          'name' => string 'Black and Silver Pattern dress with Sequins ' (length=44)
          'price' => string '25.00' (length=5)
          'quantity' => string '1' (length=1)
          'image' => string 'USoWtjCsby50.jpg' (length=16)
          'path' => string 'category/new-in' (length=15)
          'description' => string 'Black and Silver Pattern dress with Sequins ' (length=44)
          'stock' => string '1' (length=1)
          'delivery' => string '3.99' (length=4)
          'colour' => string 'Patterned' (length=9)
          'size' => string '14' (length=2)

So the question is, how do i save these items to the DB?

Anyone will to help on this?

Direct help with your DB integration is a bit out of scope of this repo.

But off the top of my head, I would simply loop through the cart object collecting each item, its data, and push that to your database.

If all you're looking to do is store your carts in a database then the best way would be to create a new storage driver. Take a look at Storage/Runtime.php for the methods you need and create a mysql version. Upon initialising your cart you can use the new custom class, meaning your carts are always in the database and upto date.

Having said that, what it sounds like you're really trying to do is store orders, which is outside the scope of the cart package and not something we can really help with.

I have a foreach loop but it doesn't insert multiple items would i need to pass [] as well to then store as multiple currently it only stores one item even if there' 3 in the cart contents.
