  1. Challenge

    Adding Update Buttons to the Shopping Cart

    The Shopping Cart Feature in this app is only partially done. Add to Cart works, but there’s no way to edit the Cart, so we want to be able to Update and Delete Book quantities in the Cart. ### Solution To view the solution, run git diff origin/master..module1-solution in the Terminal, and press Enter to see the next lines of the difference.

    You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with git stash and running git checkout module1-solution to switch branches.

  2. Challenge

    Deleting from the Shopping Cart

    Now that a Delete button exists, we're going to implement the functionality to delete a book from the Shopping Cart Session. ### Solution To view the solution, run git diff origin/master..module2-solution in the Terminal, and press Enter to see the next lines of the difference.

    You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with git stash and running git checkout module2-solution to switch branches.

  3. Challenge

    Updating the Shopping Cart

    Finally, we will add the functionality for the Update button in the Shopping cart. ### Solution To view the solution, run git diff origin/master..module3-solution in the Terminal, and press Enter to see the next lines of the difference.

    You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with git stash and running git checkout module3-solution to switch branches.
