React + Django Full Stack E-Commerce Project #6 | Cart Functionality (Frontend)

In this video (Part 6 of the Full Stack E-Commerce Project), we’ll build the Cart Functionality (Front-End) using React and connect it with our Django REST API.

You’ll learn how to add products to the cart, update quantities (+/−), and remove items — all while managing cart state globally using the Context API.

We’ll also create a CartPage to display items dynamically and synchronize changes with the backend API.

This video focuses on connecting your frontend React logic with real-time cart APIs from the Django backend.

📘 What You’ll Learn

-- Add product to cart directly from the Product Detail Page

-- Use React Context API for managing cart state

-- Display cart items dynamically in CartPage.jsx

-- Update product quantity (+ / −)

-- Remove product from cart

-- Sync cart data with backend via fetch()

-- Test all cart functionalities end-to-end
