# JRO – PackagingWeight Magento 2 extension

This extension is written really specifically with my use-case in mind.
* It plugs into the Shipper HQ [MatrixRate](https://commercemarketplace.adobe.com/webshopapps-module-matrixrate.html) shipping module.
* It chooses packaging based on the number of items in the cart, without distinguishing which items.
* There are 3 choices of packaging, and only 3, for 1-5, 6-10 and 11+ items.

This extension could be forked, either to alter those limitations to other store-specific requirements, or to generalise.

So this extension is unlikely to be useful, as it is, to anyone but me. However it could be a base for many uses. It is therefore available as a public git repository, but is not available from Packagist.

## Download

There are 3 ways to download the extension

1. `cd` to wherever you want to place the code (possibly in `app/code`) then download the latest `.tar.gz` release from `https://git.oakleys.org/JamesOakley-MagentoDev/magento-packagingweight/releases`
2. `cd` to wherever you want to place the code (possibly in `app/code`) then `git clone https://git.oakleys.org/JamesOakley-MagentoDev/magento-packagingweight`
3. Add `https://git.oakleys.org/JamesOakley-MagentoDev/magento-packagingweight` to the `repositories` section of your project's `composer.json`, then add `Jro/PackagingWeight` to the require section.

## Installation

Enable the extension, and recompile dependency injection:

```
php bin/magento module:enable Jro_PackagingWeight
php/bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
```

Go to the admin area for your store > Sales > Delivery Methods > WebShopApps Matrirx Rate.

There you'll see additional settings to enter the weight and cost of each type of packaging.

## Features

* The plugin works out which kind of packaging would be used to fulfil this order.
* It then looks up the weight of that packaging, and adds that to the cart weight before the shipping price is calculated.
* It then looks up the cost of that packaging, and adds that to the shipping price before it is returned to the cart.
