## 💻 Code Examples

### Adding Product (JavaScript):
```javascript
// Capture product data
const productId = btn.getAttribute('data-product-id');
const quantity = qtyInput.value;

// Send to API
fetch('auth-system/cart-api.php?action=add', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: formData  // Contains product data
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
    if (data.success) {
        showToast('Product added!', 'success');
        updateCartCount(data.cart_count);  // Update count
    }
});
```

### Backend Security (PHP):
```php
// Check authentication
if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
    http_response_code(401);
    echo json_encode(['success' => false, 'message' => 'Not authenticated']);
    exit;
}

// Check role
if ($_SESSION['user_role'] !== 'customer') {
    http_response_code(403);
    echo json_encode(['success' => false, 'message' => 'Customers only']);
    exit;
}

// Prepared statement (prevents SQL injection)
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO cart ... VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("iiss", $user_id, $product_id, $name, $price);
$stmt->execute();
```
