I'm getting two session ids in one session with Laravel - laravel

Question

I have a controller called CartController.php
In this controller I have two methods:
public function store(Request $request)
{
// we'll check to see if the order is already in db
$productOrderDetails = new \App\Cart;
$productOrderDetails->session_id = session()->getId();
$productOrderDetails->job_name = $request->jobName;
$productOrderDetails->pro_name = $request->productName;
$productOrderDetails->save();
return response()->json($request);
}
public function displayCart()
{
//dd($upsCost);
$currentSessionID = session()->getId();
$displayCart = Cart::where('session_id', $currentSessionID)->get();
dd($currentSessionID);
session(['inCartDetails' => $displayCart]);
return view('layouts.cart')->with('cartDetails', $displayCart);
}
The store method is hit by a fetch api post.
export async function postProductDetails(details) {
const url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/cartDetails';
let response = await fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
mode: 'cors',
credentials: 'same-origin',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(details)
})
if(response.ok) {
window.location.href = "/cart";
} else {
alert("HTTP-Error: " + response.status);
}
// return response.json();
}
My problem is that I'm getting two different session ids.
When the method store is hit via the fetch post I get the session id:
HnSxCjSXflzyt4Uks3SGsEZcJEHleSR97N1RNA5l
Then when I run the method displayCart it gives me a different session id:
su8A6E3umTW1XmXf5Yhk3SHU5WUGCEpcJWXlnVIP
It's being accessed from same browser, with in a couple of minutes. Any idea why this is happening?

I would not rely on the session ID for your logic, You could however create a Cart and save the Cart ID to the session and then retrieve it:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$productOrderDetails = new \App\Cart;
$productOrderDetails->job_name = $request->jobName;
$productOrderDetails->pro_name = $request->productName;
$productOrderDetails->save();
session(['cart_id' => $productOrderDetails->id]);
return response()->json($request);
}
public function displayCart()
{
$displayCart = session('cart_id') ? Cart::find(session('cart_id')) : null;
return view('layouts.cart')->with('cartDetails', $displayCart);
}
