Cart Admin Visibility

Modules\Core\Cart\Filament\Resources\CartResource gives staff read-only visibility into customer/user carts in the Filament admin panel. Lunar itself ships no cart admin view at all — no Filament resource for Cart/CartLine exists anywhere in lunarphp/lunar or lunarphp/core — this is a from-scratch addition, not an extension of something Lunar half-built. See docs/lunar.md's "Cart and Checkout" section for the underlying Lunar cart mechanics this resource reads from.


Scope: only carts with a known customer or user

CartResource::getEloquentQuery() filters to Cart::whereNotNull('user_id')->orWhereNotNull('customer_id') — an anonymous guest's session cart is excluded entirely.

This was a deliberate call, not an oversight: an anonymous cart carries no identity a staff member could act on — no name, no email, nothing to follow up with — so listing every guest session cart would be noise, not a real admin capability. This does not mirror Shopify's admin (Shopify has no "all carts" view at all — only "Abandoned checkouts," gated on a shopper reaching checkout and entering contact info, a later/narrower stage than Lunar's Cart). Lunar's own Cart model already gets user_id/customer_id set the moment a shopper is authenticated (via Lunar\Listeners\CartSessionAuthListener on login), with no checkout step required — so scoping to "identifiable" here is broader than Shopify's equivalent, not a copy of it.


"Abandoned" vs "Completed" — not Cart::completed_at

Lunar\Models\Cart::completed_at is declared and cast ('completed_at' => 'datetime') but never actually written anywhere in Lunar core — grep vendor/lunarphp/core/src for it; the only hits are the property declaration and the cast. It is not a real signal.

The list page's tabs (ListCarts::getTabs()) instead key off whether the cart has a placed order:

  • Abandoned — mirrors Cart::scopeActive() exactly: no orders at all, or only orders still in draft (placed_at IS NULL). Default active tab on page load.
  • Completed — has at least one order with placed_at IS NOT NULL.
// Abandoned
$query->active();

// Completed
$query->whereHas('orders', fn ($query) => $query->whereNotNull('placed_at'));

There is deliberately no "All" tab. Every row shown is always scoped to one of the two states above — the list never runs an unfiltered Cart::query()->get() over the whole (potentially large) table.


Why this scales fine at a large cart count

Two things keep this cheap regardless of how many carts exist (10,000+):

  • The list is always paginated. Filament applies LIMIT/OFFSET to whichever tab's query is active — a page only ever fetches one page's worth of rows, never the whole table, "All" tab or not (and there is no "All" tab — see above).
  • No per-row queries. lines_count/lines_sum_quantity use Filament's built-in ->counts('lines')/->sum('lines', 'quantity'), which fold into the same query as the rest of the list (one LEFT JOIN-based aggregate, not N separate lookups). There's no per-record getStateUsing() closure anywhere in this table doing its own query — that's the pattern to avoid if a future column needs derived data (see Modules\Core\Catalog\ Services\ProductIndexer for the general "compute once at index time / one aggregate query, never per-row" principle this project follows elsewhere).

The one thing that does scan more rows as the cart count grows is CartResource::getNavigationBadge() (see below) — but it's a COUNT(*), not a fetch, and runs once per admin page load, not once per cart row.


Navigation badge — abandoned cart count

public static function getNavigationBadge(): ?string
{
    return (string) static::getEloquentQuery()->active()->count();
}

Shows the number of abandoned carts (not all carts — a converted cart isn't something a staff member needs to keep noticing) next to "Carts" in the sidebar. ->count() compiles to a single SELECT COUNT(*) ... — confirmed via query log — no rows are ever loaded just to render the badge.


The view page runs the cart's full calculate pipeline — once

ViewCart::resolveRecord() calls $cart->calculate() before rendering, since CartLine's computed properties (unitPrice, total, etc.) and Cart's own totals (subTotal, total, ...) are plain public properties populated as a side effect of that pipeline — never persisted, so a plain Eloquent-fetched Cart has them all null/unset (see docs/lunar.md Gotchas). This only runs on the single-record view page, not per row in the list table — running the full 5-step pipeline for every row of a paginated list would be needless cost for data the list doesn't display.


Not built: staff editing a cart

The resource is deliberately read-only (canCreate() returns false, no edit page registered). A cart is owned by the storefront's own add/update/remove flow (CartSession/Cart::add()/etc.) — hand-editing cart contents from the admin panel isn't a supported use case here.
