Miscellaneous utility functions for dealing with checkout functionality.

## `extensionCartUpdate`

When executed, this will call the cart/extensions REST API endpoint. The new cart is then received into the client-side store.

### Usage

```ts
// Aliased import
import { extensionCartUpdate } from '@woocommerce/blocks-checkout';

// Global import
// const { extensionCartUpdate } = wc.blocksCheckout;

extensionCartUpdate( {
	namespace: 'extension-unique-namespace',
	data: {
		key: 'value',
	},
} );
```

### Options

The following options are available:

#### `args (object, required)`

Args to pass to the Rest API endpoint. This can contain data and a namespace to trigger extension specific functionality on the server-side. [You can read more about this, and the server-side implementation, in this doc.](../../../docs/third-party-developers/extensibility/rest-api/extend-rest-api-update-cart.md)

## `mustContain`

Ensures that a given value contains a string, or throws an error.

### Usage

```js
// Aliased import
import { mustContain } from '@woocommerce/blocks-checkout';

// Global import
// const { mustContain } = wc.blocksCheckout;

mustContain( 'This is a string containing a <price />', '<price />' ); // This will not throw an error
mustContain( 'This is a string', '<price />' ); // This will throw an error
```

### Options

The following options are available:

#### `value (string, required)`

Value being checked. Must be a string.

#### `requiredValue (string, required)`

What value must contain. If this is not found within `value`, and error will be thrown.
