If you're a Magento 2 developer or store owner, you might find a situation where you need to customize the `catalog-add-to-cart.js` file to add new functionality or modify existing behavior. Overriding JavaScript files in Magento 2 allows you to implement these changes without altering the core files, ensuring updatability and maintainability. Follow this guide to efficiently override the `catalog-add-to-cart.js`.
Step 1: Create a Custom Module
Before overriding any file, it's best practice to create a custom module. This keeps your modifications organized and separate from Magento's core files.
Create the Module Directory
Navigate to the `app/code` directory and create folders for your module. For example:
app/code/Vendor/ModuleName
Register the Module
Create a `registration.php` file inside the module directory:
Create the module.xml File
Place this in `app/code/Vendor/ModuleName/etc`:
Magento 2 uses RequireJS for JavaScript loading, which allows us to override JavaScript files using mixins or by defining override paths.
Create requirejs-config.js

app/code/Vendor/ModuleName/view/frontend/requirejs-config.js
Configure the Override
Use the following code to specify the override logic:
Create the Override JS File
Place your custom JavaScript logic in a new file located at:
app/code/Vendor/ModuleName/view/frontend/web/js/catalog-add-to-cart-override.js
Begin by defining a function to override or extend the default functionality:
Run the following commands to enable your new module and clear the cache:
