How to Add Price in Cart from Dropdown Using AJAX

Managing a dynamic shopping cart experience is crucial for any web application, especially when it involves user interaction through dropdown selections. If you're trying to figure out how to add a price when a user selects an option from a dropdown in your Laravel application, you've come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll explore how to achieve this using AJAX for smooth and efficient updates. Let's break it down step-by-step.

The Problem

You want users to be able to select from a set of options in a dropdown menu, which will then dynamically update the total price displayed on the cart page. Specifically, when a user chooses an option, the corresponding price should be added to the total displayed in a designated <h4> tag. Finally, this calculated total should also be sent along with the form when the user decides to make a purchase.

The Solution

Understanding the HTML Structure

First, let’s take a look at the HTML structure we’re starting with:

The <select> element provides different options with associated values (prices).

The <h4> tag displays the total price currently in the cart.

A hidden input field is used to submit the total price along with the form.

Implementing jQuery for Dynamic Updates

To dynamically update the price, we can listen for changes on the dropdown and calculate the total in real-time. We will use jQuery for this purpose. Include the jQuery library in your project if it isn’t integrated yet:

Keeping Track of the Original Price

If the user changes the option multiple times, they might want the previous value added to the new selection. To accommodate this, we can store the initial price in a custom attribute. Update your HTML for the <h4> to include total-price like this:

Then modify the jQuery code to capture this initial value.
