Limit Cart Items to Add in Cart

Question

I want to limit cart items to be added in cart. Limit Checkout Order or Add to Cart Limit to allow only 6 type of items. These 6 items can have variable Qty value.

I have done the below code using Event/Observer but not working.

etc/events.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="controller_action_predispatch_checkout_cart_add">
        <observer name="ishaq_limit_items_in_cart_checkout_before" instance="Ishaq\LimitCartItems\Observer\Checkout\Cart\Add" />
    </event>
</config>

<?php

        $cartItemsCount = $this->_cart->getQuote()->getItemsCount();
        $cartItemsAll = $this->_cart->getQuote()->getAllItems();
 
        if($cartItemsCount > 6)
        {
            $observer->getRequest()->setParam('product', false);
            $observer->getRequest()->setParam('return_url', $this->redirect->getRefererUrl());
            $observer->getRequest()->setParam('backUrl', $this->redirect->getRefererUrl());
            $this->messageManager->addErrorMessage(
                __('Only 6 types of products per purchase allowed. Please complete this order first and place another order afterwards.')
            );
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

you need to change if condition by

if(count($cartItemsAll) > 6)
