This React hook provides functionalities to manage cart operations such as adding, removing, and updating items in a shopping cart. It also calculates the total cart value and allows clearing the cart.

const storedCart = localStorage.getItem("cartItems");
const initalValue = storedCart ? JSON.parse(storedCart) : [];
const { cartLength, cartItems, addToCart, removeFromCart, reduceFromCart, increaseToCart, cartTotal, clearCart } = useCartService(initalValue);

// Updates the localstorage on change of cartItems
useEffect(() => {
  localStorage.setItem("cartItems", JSON.stringify(cartItems));
}, [cartItems]);
