This is a spree extension that solves two use cases related to variants. I call them Ad Hoc Options and Product Customizations.
Use these when have numerous (possibly price-altering) product options and you don't want to create variants for each combination.
You can also restrict certain combinations of options from coexisting. These are called Ad Hoc Exclusions and are described in more detail in the wiki.
Use these when you want the ability to provide a highly customized product e.g. "Cut to length 5.82cm", "Engrave 'thanks for the memories'", "Upload my image". Full control over pricing is provided by the Spree calculator mechanism.
The branch you are currently on (master) is an upgrade-in-progress to spree 1.1. Consider it beta right now.
Please see the Versionfile for working spree 1.0, 0.70 and spree 0.60 versions
# see the notes in Versionfile if you are using an older version of spree
gem 'spree_flexi_variants', :git=>'[email protected]:jsqu99/spree_flexi_variants.git'
bundle install
bundle exec rails g spree_flexi_variants:install
While developing this extension you can use bundlers support for local git repos (http://bundler.io/v1.5/git.html):
bundle config local.spree_flexi_variants ~/repos/spree_flexi_variants
and do not forget to change Gemfile.lock before deployment:
bundle config --delete local.spree_flexi_variants
When you create new migrations, you can import them to the project using this gem by:
bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations FROM=spree_flexi_variants
rake test_app bundle exec rspec
Build a 'Cake' product using Ad Hoc Options and Product Customizations
Build a 'Necklace' product using Ad Hoc Options and Product Customizations
Build a 'Pizza' product using Ad Hoc Options. Note that the 'multi' option checkboxes come from a partial named after the option name (see app/views/products/ad_hoc_options/_toppings.html.erb)
See the wiki for more detail.
Many, many thanks to Brian Quinn for selflessly volunteering his time to mentor me throughout the development process.
