Ajax Cart API missing item_components data - not unified with liquid cart object

[AV_SL]

The Cart API doesn't support the same item_components data as the liquid cart, which creates a mismatch between the two data sources - and also means ajax specific carts can't show component items.

Cart.js
https://shopify.dev/docs/api/ajax/reference/cart#get-locale-cart-js

{
	...
	"items": {
		...
			"has_components": false,
		...
	}
	...
}

cart.line_items liquid object

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/line_item#line_item-item_components

{
...
	"item_components": null,
...
}

Can we have a feature request to unify the Cart API response to include item_components similar to the liquid object for line_items?

Thanks!

Hi - just to confirm, the Cart API is working as expected but the AJAX API isn't showing the contents of the bundles, is this correct?

[AV_SL]

Yep - that's correct. Thanks @Liam 

It is working as expected but the data isn't helpful, so this is more of a feature request to ensure both sources of cart data (from the AJAX API, and from Liquid) present the same item_components data.

This way displaying native bundle component items can be supported through both methods of rendering carts

I understand the issue how - it does seem that AJAX API may need to be updated ton accommodate for bundles, I'm connecting with our internal dev team on this.
