Merging carts when customer logs in on Commerce 14

Hi, thank you for the blog post, it helped a lot. The code snippet isn't fully working though regarding the service locator and getting the anonymous ID as a feature. Not sure if that's due to the updated in Commerce (running v14.11.0) or because it's incomplete.

For me, the anonymous ID is also removed as soon as the user is authenticated. A workaround I found is to get the ID from the cookie that the anonymous ID middleware sets. This isn't deleted upon logging in.

Here is the middleware that is working for me:

public class AnonymousCartMigrationMiddleware
{
	private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
	private readonly IOrderRepository _orderRepository;
	private readonly ICurrentMarket _currentMarket;
	private readonly IProfileMigrator _profileMigrator;

	public AnonymousCartMigrationMiddleware(
		RequestDelegate next,
		IOrderRepository orderRepository,
		ICurrentMarket currentMarket,
		IProfileMigrator profileMigrator)
	{
		_next = next;
		_orderRepository = orderRepository;
		_currentMarket = currentMarket;
		_profileMigrator = profileMigrator;
	}

	public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
	{
		if (context.User.Identity is { IsAuthenticated: true } && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(context.User.Identity?.Name))
		{
			var justLoggedIn = CustomContext.Current.IsFirstLoadAfterLogin;

			// Not using "context.Request.HttpContext.Features.Get<IAnonymousIdFeature>()?.AnonymousId" because it is removed at this point. The cookie, however, is not deleted (see AnonymousIdMiddleware).
			context.Request.Cookies.TryGetValue("EPiServer_Commerce_AnonymousId", out var anonymousId);

			if (justLoggedIn && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(anonymousId) && Guid.TryParse(anonymousId, out var anonymousGuid))
			{
				var cart = _orderRepository.LoadCart<ICart>(anonymousGuid, "Default", _currentMarket);
				if (cart != null && cart.GetAllLineItems().Any())
				{
					_profileMigrator.MigrateCarts(anonymousGuid);
					_profileMigrator.MigrateOrders(anonymousGuid);
					_profileMigrator.MigrateWishlists(anonymousGuid);
				}

				// Add it back in so that the application can process it as normal.
				context.Session.SetString(SessionKeys.JustLoggedIn, "true");
			}
		}

		await _next(context);
	}
}

public static class AnonymousCartMigrationMiddlewareExtensions
{
	public static IApplicationBuilder UseAnonymousCartMigration(this IApplicationBuilder app)
	{
		return app.UseMiddleware<AnonymousCartMigrationMiddleware>();
	}
}

The CustomContext is an implementation that handles session info. When we process a login, we store a value in the user session that flags it as the first load after log-in. This is used elsewhere in the application. Accessing this property removes the session key, which is why I add it back in after running the migration. This prevents multiple requests from triggering the migration simulatenously.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry the initial attempt didn't work. I've just tried it on the latest version of Commerce 14.12 on a fresh Foundation instance and it was working just fine.

Just make sure you call your middleware after:

app.AnonymousId();

app.UseAuthentication();

app.UseAuthorization();

Hi, yes it seems I had the UseAnonymousId middleware after the two. Moving it to the front makes it work :) Maybe you'll want to add that line to your blog post in the last code snippet.

The syntax to get the Id seems to also have changed slightly from your snippet. This works: 

context.Request.HttpContext.Features.Get<IAnonymousIdFeature>()?.AnonymousId

Surjit Bharath,

You deserve 5 star for this post. Thanks for saving our life.
