Body: <p>So, I'm currently building out an eCommerce site for a client. I'm adding products to the cart via AJAX. I'm then sliding out a 'Cart' view panel with the current cart contents, which is being updated with Craft's JSON response for the cart. (Via <code>response.cart</code>)</p>
  
  <p>My problem is this: I need to display the thumbnail image of a product, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere I can get the asset field (or any fields) associated with the product. There is no <code>purchasable</code> key in the cart object, just a <code>purchasableId</code>. I've looked in the <code>snapshot</code> object within <code>lineItems</code>, and in the <code>product</code> object within that <code>snapshot</code> object. There doesn't seem to be any asset field (or any field) attached to this information at all.</p>
  
  <p>I know I can make an additional request to fetch that information, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible; I'm hoping it's just buried somewhere in the response.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated! Let me know if I need to clarify something.</p>

Title: Displaying assets from Craft's cart AJAX response

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-11-04)
  
  So, I'm currently building out an eCommerce site for a client. I'm adding products to the cart via AJAX. I'm then sliding out a 'Cart' view panel with the current cart contents, which is being updated with Craft's JSON response for the cart. (Via `response.cart`)
  
  My problem is this: I need to display the thumbnail image of a product, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere I can get the asset field (or any fields) associated with the product. There is no `purchasable` key in the cart object, just a `purchasableId`. I've looked in the `snapshot` object within `lineItems`, and in the `product` object within that `snapshot` object. There doesn't seem to be any asset field (or any field) attached to this information at all.
  
  I know I can make an additional request to fetch that information, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible; I'm hoping it's just buried somewhere in the response.
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated! Let me know if I need to clarify something.
