I am using Netlify forms and I would like to append to my form shopping cart - so together with the form the shopping cart will be send as well.
So far I am receiving data only from the form and can’t reach the shopping card.
This is html for the form:
<form
className="myform"
onSubmit={handleSubmit}
data-netlify="true"
name="landing-form"
data-netlify-recaptcha="true"
method="post"
>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Your Name"
name="name"
required
value={name}
onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)}
></input>
<input
type="email"
placeholder="Your E-Mail"
name="email"
required
value={email}
onChange={(e) =>setEmail(e.target.value)}
></input>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
And JS code that works only for input fields, but not for updatedCart
const [name, setName] = useState('');
const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
const [message, setMessage] = useState('');
const history = useHistory();
function emailIsValid(email) {
return /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(email);
}
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
if (name && emailIsValid(email) && message && updatedCart) {
fetch('/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
},
body: encode({
'form-name': 'landing-form',
name: name.trim(),
email: email,
message: message.trim(),
updatedCart: updatedCart,
}),
})
.then((res) => {
redirectAfterSubmission();
})
.catch((error) => alert(error));
}
};
const redirectAfterSubmission = () => {
setTimeout(() => {
history.push('/thank-you');
}, 1500);
};
Obviously putting my updatedCart in JS is not enough, but I am not sure how else to handle it, since the shopping cart is not an input.
My cart data:
const addToCart = (item) => {
setCart([...cart, item]);
setUpdatedCart([
...updatedCart,
`Package: ${item.name}`,
`Chair: ${item.chair.name}`,
`Desk: ${item.desk.name}`,
`Plan: ${plan}`,
`Number of months: ${months}`,
]);
};
