Magento 2 Load REST API cart quote on frontend via URL

Question

I want to load a previous generated quote in magento 2 using REST API. Directly on frontend using custom URL like "/myurl/cart/index" that should redirect to "/checkout/cart" with the products loaded. That I'm doing in API is the following:

1) POST /rest/V1/guest-carts

Return something like: bca5b94b97710599026d73h358e058f7

2) POST rest/V1/guest-carts/bca5b94b97710599026d73h358e058f7/items

{
 "cartId": "bca5b94b97710599026d73h358e058f7",
 "cart_item": {
 "quote_id": "bca5b94b97710599026d73h358e058f7",
 "sku": "mysku",
 "qty": 1
 }
}

the above return the item added. Then:

3) GET /rest/V1/guest-carts/bca5b94b97710599026d73h358e058f7

That return cart object:

{
 "id": 21,
 "created_at": "2018-07-30 18:07:14",
 "updated_at": "2018-07-30 18:32:21",
 "is_active": true,
 "is_virtual": false,
 "items": [
 {
 "item_id": 2,
 "sku": "mysku",
 "qty": 1,
 "name": "Test",
 "price": 150,
 "product_type": "simple",
 "quote_id": "5"
 }
 ]
}

4) Then I've managed to load the quote in my controller with route "/myurl/cart/index" and I can see my quote loaded, something like:

Array
(
 [entity_id] => 21
 [store_id] => 1
 [created_at] => 2018年07月30日 18:07:14
 [updated_at] => 2018年07月30日 18:32:21
 [converted_at] =>

 [orig_order_id] => 0
 [store_to_base_rate] => 0.0000
 [store_to_quote_rate] => 0.0000
 [base_currency_code] => USD
 [store_currency_code] => USD
 [quote_currency_code] => USD
 [grand_total] => 150.0000
 [base_grand_total] => 150.0000
 [checkout_method] => 
 [customer_id] => 
 [customer_tax_class_id] => 3
 [customer_group_id] => 0
 [customer_email] => 
 [customer_prefix] => 
 [customer_firstname] => 
 [customer_middlename] => 
 [customer_lastname] => 
 [customer_suffix] => 
 [customer_dob] => 
 [customer_note] => 
 [customer_note_notify] => 1
 [customer_is_guest] => 0
 [remote_ip] => 
 [applied_rule_ids] => 
 [reserved_order_id] => 
 [password_hash] => 
 [coupon_code] => 
 [global_currency_code] => USD
 [base_to_global_rate] => 1.0000
 [base_to_quote_rate] => 1.0000
 [customer_taxvat] => 
 [customer_gender] => 
 [subtotal] => 150.0000
 [base_subtotal] => 150.0000
 [subtotal_with_discount] => 150.0000
 [base_subtotal_with_discount] => 150.0000
 [is_changed] => 1
 [trigger_recollect] => 0
 [ext_shipping_info] => 
 [is_persistent] => 0
 [gift_message_id] => 
)

Which is fine, but now I need to redirect to the cart/checkout in frontend with products loaded to display to the guest user/customer.. Is that possible without create an order?

Thanks,

• Vivek Kumar: are you loading a phtml and block to do this? If yes you should do all the business logic in block and pass output to a function like $block->function(); Also you can redirect in phtml.
• Bruno Serfe: Hi @VivekKumar, I'm only using controller to load the quote, I wish to redirect to cart or checkout page from there, with quote loaded in order the customer can be able to finish the checkout process by itself.
• Prits: @BrunoSerfe nice post regarding that i can also get the same output but my cart is still empty for guest user any idea regarding this.
• Miro: When you get the Quote in the extension, are the items in it? I try to get them with $this->items = $this->quote->getItems(); but no success. Regards!

Answer 1

Hi I've managed to resolve my own inquiry with 3 lines of code from my controller, I hope this help someone else:

/* Load quote id */
$quoteId = '21';// this should be loaded from url, I'll make this a TODO
$q = $this->quoteFactory->create()->load($quoteId);
/* Load in checkout session as guest */
$this->checkoutSession->setQuoteId($quoteId);
/* Redirect to cart page */
$this->responseFactory->create()->setRedirect('/checkout/cart/index')->sendResponse();

And that's it, after that I'll be redirected to "checkout/cart/index" from "/myurl/cart/index" with products loaded from that quote after process that code in execute() function.
