How do I add woocommerce endpoint to the state?

the solution was a handler to read the necessary products: const HeaderCart = ({ state, actions }) => { ... useEffect(() => { if (state.frontity.platform === 'client') { if (0 === state.theme.cart.length) { const storedCart = localStorage.getItem( 'frontity_wc_cart' ); if (storedCart && storedCart.length !== 0) { state.theme.cart = JSON.parse(storedCart); state.theme.cart.map(cartItem => { actions.source.fetch( …
