How to create a view area handler

Question

I'm building a Drupal Commerce store. On cart view I need to display some additional information.

I want to create area handler like Commerce Order: Total. It should do some php logic and display the results.

Can anybody give me some advice how to build such a handler? The documentation didn't gave me much information.

You need to create a custom module and override default area handler using hook_views_data_alter().

The default implementation of order total handler placed here.

You need to:

implement hook_views_data_alter() to declare the area handler, and specify the name of the class that implements the handler.
Implement the handler class, extending views_area_handler, and override the methods you need.
