# --description--

You need a way to access the total number of items in the cart. The best way to do this is to add another method to your `ShoppingCart` class, rather than accessing the `items` array directly.

Add a `getCounts` method to the `ShoppingCart` class. It should return the number of items in the `items` array.

# --hints--

Your `ShoppingCart` class should have a `getCounts` method.

```js
assert.isFunction(cart.getCounts);
```

Remember to use the `this` keyword to access the `items` array.

```js
const afterCounts = code.split('getCounts')[1];
assert.match(afterCounts, /this\s*\.\s*items\s*\.\s*length/);
```

Your `getCounts` method should return the number of items in the `items` array.

```js
assert.strictEqual(cart.getCounts(), 0);
cart.addItem(1, products);
assert.strictEqual(cart.getCounts(), 1);
```
