Keeping 'item' or 'items' in cart quantity

[richgcook]

Is it possible to include 'item' or 'items' when the cart updates? I'm currently using {{ cart.item_count }} {{ cart.item_count | pluralize: 'item', 'items' }} in my theme but when it updates (add a product or click to view the cart drawer) it changes to 1 £48.00 (for example) whereas I had it before as 2 items £48

Any thoughts?

It sounds like you are using the ajax cart, so you will likely need to modify the ajax cart javascript too Timber/assets/ajax-cart.js.liquid

Thanks @Cam.

I believe this is what I am after...

updateCountPrice = function (cart) {
    if ($cartCountSelector) {
      $cartCountSelector.html(cart.item_count).removeClass('hidden-count');

      if (cart.item_count === 0) {
        $cartCountSelector.addClass('hidden-count');
      }
    }
    if ($cartCostSelector) {
      $cartCostSelector.html(Shopify.formatMoney(cart.total_price, settings.moneyFormat));
    }
  };

I am unsure where cart.item_count is called from?

Change:

$cartCountSelector.html(cart.item_count).removeClass('hidden-count');

to:

$cartCountSelector.html(cart.item_count + (cart.item_count === 1 ? ' item' : ' items')).removeClass('hidden-count');
