HttpContextBase namespace could not be found

Question

public string GetCartId(HttpContextBase context)
{
    if (context.Session[CartSessionKey] == null)
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(context.User.Identity.Name))
        {
            context.Session[CartSessionKey] =
                context.User.Identity.Name;
        }
        else
        {
            // Generate a new random GUID using System.Guid class
            Guid tempCartId = Guid.NewGuid();
            // Send tempCartId back to client as a cookie
            context.Session[CartSessionKey] = tempCartId.ToString();
        }
    }

    return context.Session[CartSessionKey].ToString();
}        

Any help on the work around with HttpContextBase in asp.net core? above is my sample code am working on to create a shopping cart.

There is no HttpContextBase in ASP.NET Core. HttpContext is already an abstract class (see here) which is implemented in DefaultHttpContext (see GitHub). Just use HttpContext.
