Spree Variant Properties

Because Spree::Variant deserve properties too!

This Gem creates the necessary relationships to let Spree::Variant have properties much like Spree::Product.

Use Case

Spree::Product let's you keep a list generic properties, i.e. material. The problem is that we need to keep these properties for Spree::Variant. These properties do not belong on the product for example, we might have a pair of pants where the brown variant comes from factory X and the grey variant comes from factory Y. Another example is that these variants might have different logistics_ids, separate from the variant SKU, that we need to keep track of.

There are multiple ways to solve this, i.e. continue to add columns to Spree::Variant and add new fields and perhaps a critical id belongs here.

This gem instead takes the approach of trying to keep track of some of these variant specific fields as a properties instead.
