shopping-cart

A simple shopping cart frontend written. In this exercise, you will be implementing a Shopping Cart Page. Provided for you is a simple HTML page with Bootstrap that shows items and a section for the shopping cart your task is to implement the following features:

Bonus Missions

• Calculate the Tax Rate based on Zip Code via a website called Avalera.

Tips:

In this assignment, a lot of data will be represented on the web page. It's a good practice to think of the "state" of the web page, that is, what are the variables and data that you need to know. For example, you may want to represent the order items as an array of objects where each object contains the name and price for display.

const orderItems = [
  {
    name: 'Some Item',
    price: 9.99
  },
  // ...
];

From there, you can "render" the cart by writing a function that takes this information and constructs it in a certain spot. Any changes, clears out the parent element, and re-renders using the same function. You can clear the parent element by doing the following in jQuery.

$(SOME_SELECTOR).empty()

In addition, for displaying price, the toFixed function is quite useful.
