Info

A note about variations. The variations property above is not an array of ItemVariations. It is a simple hash map of name=value for each variation. It is only populated by the client and passed to addItems or updateItems (legacy) or when the cart is passed to the REST POST to /rest/cart. Here's why: When a item is passed in with variations(s), ultracart uses the variations to look up the child item, and that item id is used in place of the provided item id. For example, in the online variations example, The item 'SHIRT' is passed in with variations (Size=Large,Color=Black). The actual item added to the cart is 'SHIRT_BLACK_LARGE'. That item doesn't have any variations attached to it, only it's parent item. So if I example the cart.items array and look at the newly added object, item.variations will be empty.

For the rest, a new item with variations will look like this (h/t to russel at augimo):

Code Block
cart.items.push({itemId:'example',quantity:1,variations:{color:'Blue',flavor:'Vanilla'}});
 


The reason why a simple hash map is used instead of a list of ItemVariation objects is because a CartItem contains choices made, while an Item object contains available choices. The former represents a selected product, the latter is made for product displays.
