Simpler get, update and remove

[olimortimer]

I'm looking at which cart package to use, and have been comparing laracart to laravelshoppingcart - https://github.com/darryldecode/laravelshoppingcart

I like how laracart can handle coupons etc, but can't help thinking the way to get / update and remove items is a little clunky, as you first have to find the item by the ID, for example, get the hash, then update or remove using the hash. Is there any reason why there couldn't be a simpler method using the ID to get / update / remove the item, even if it did the find for us behind the scenes?

laravelshoppingcart seems to use this method, which makes it a lot simpler to do tasks such as increasing quantity, or removing items from the session. It even has a way of updating a specific user's cart, which could be handy for admins to assist users by adding items remotely.

@olimortimer Yah it probably could be a lot simpler, I 100% agree.

Id be more than welcome for a PR for this type of thing, I just don't have the time to upgrade this package to a newer version with a way better API.

Does that mean development isn't continuing on laracart?

I still support it , i do some work on it from time to time. But its not at the top of my list.
