    3 'Application',
    4 'underscore'
    5 ],
    6 "text-purple-400">function(

    8 _
    9 ) {

    Ensure that Application is included as a dependency. The variables Vendor and ExtensionName will reflect the specific values defined during the creation of your extension. Remember, Extension serves as a placeholder for your defined extension name.

    "text-purple-400">var cart_component = Application.getComponent('Cart');
    });

    This snippet demonstrates how to access the cart component effectively, enabling various operations through SuiteScript.
