Checkout Address & Cart Persistence Issues

[rohan24may]

Description

There are two issues on the checkout page that need to be addressed:

1. Newly Added Address Does Not Appear Instantly

When a user adds a new address from the checkout page using the "Add New Address" drawer:

• The address is successfully saved to the database.
• The drawer closes successfully.
• However, the newly added address does not appear in the checkout address list immediately.
• The user must manually refresh the page before the new address becomes visible.

Expected Behavior

• After saving an address, the checkout page should update automatically.
• The newly created address should appear instantly in the address selection list without requiring a page refresh.

2. Cart Is Lost After Page Refresh

When the user refreshes the checkout page:

• The cart state is cleared.
• Checkout becomes empty.
• User must return to the restaurant page and add items again.

Expected Behavior

• Cart contents should persist across page refreshes.
• Refreshing the checkout page should not remove cart items.
• Cart state should be restored automatically from persistent storage (localStorage, database, or another persistence layer).

Priority

Medium

Affected Areas

• Checkout Page
• Address Drawer
• Auth/User State Synchronization
• Cart State Persistence

Notes

Current workaround for the address issue is manually refreshing the page. No workaround exists for the cart reset issue.
