How can I display the number of line items in a customer's basket (irrespective of the quantity)?

Hi - I am trying to add the number of individual basket items to my page, but don’t want to include the quantity of each item. Is this possible?

Hi Mike,

Sure - you can use Twig tags for this purpose.

To access the customer’s basket, the {{ basket }} tag can be used - this contains lots of information - to see it all on the page you can use {{ basket | json_encode(constant('JSON_PRETTY_PRINT')) }} for example.

To answer your specific question - to show just the number of line items in a customer’s basket you could do the following:

  1. Log in to Shopblocks and go to BlockLab. Then edit any of your site’s layouts, such as the Header.

  2. Add a “HTML” block to the page.

  3. In the HTML block add:

<p>You have {{ basket.items | length | default(0) }} items in your basket.</p>

  1. Save and publish

  2. Go to your site and you should see “0 items” until you add to basket, and then see the number of line items, ignoring the quantity of each line item.
