Spree Product Accessories

Spree Product Accessories is an extension for the Spree E-Commerce Platform (http://spreecommerce.com/) that allows you to associate products with accessories. In this extension, accessories are just products that have been associated with other products.

This extension uses a self-referential has_and_belongs_to_many association to relate products with accessories. It also sets a boolean flag on products called 'accessory' to facilitate filtering out products that are accessories.
