Create Custom Shipping Method - Not Showing in Admin Dashboard

rudiculous

Hello,

So I have created the custom shipping method using Bagisto Package Generator with command "php artisan package:make-shipping-method ACME/DHL"

also have done this command "php artisan package:make-shipping-method ACME/DHL --force"

I can see files are generated under packages/ACME folder.
I have done clear config, cache and dump-autoload too.

But I still cannot see the shipping method in the Admin dashboard. Anything I missed out?

Thanks!

Hi @rudiculous,

Did you register your custom provider in the config/app.php and composer.json file?

Thanks @devansh-webkul for the response.
I have resolved this issue. But I have one more question to ask.

So in my custom shipping method file /packages/ACME/DHL/src/Carriers/DHL.php

public function calculate()
    {
        if (! $this->isAvailable()) {
            return false;
        }
        //I want to calculate the shipping fee here by calling some of my api provider
        //how I can get the current address from the form that the customer filled up, so I can get the city, postal code, etc?
        //I also need the total weigh of the cart, how to get that from this function?
        // so eventually i can override the object price before return $object->price

        $object = new CartShippingRate;
        $object->carrier = 'dhl';
        $object->carrier_title = $this->getConfigData('title');
        $object->method = 'dhl_dhl';
        $object->method_title = $this->getConfigData('title');
        $object->method_description = $this->getConfigData('description');
        $object->price = 0;
        $object->base_price = 0;

        return $object;
    }

Customer address will save in the cart. You can fetch from it.

rudiculous

@devansh-webkul how to fetch? what function or variable I can use to fetch it?

devansh-webkul

Grab the cart based on the customer. You can use the Cart facade or helper. Fore e.g.,
Cart::getCart() or cart()->getCart()

This will give you the current customer's cart. Now from here rest is mattered the relationships. Just go thorught your cart model and check the relationshiop.

@devansh-webkul Okay thank you. I will try with this.
