Why does ShopifyAPI::Variant#to_hash exclude inventory_quantity ?

[koshigoe]

Issue summary

I try to get variant's inventory_quantity via ShopiryAPI::Product#to_hash.
But inventory_quantity did not exist in Hash object.

> ShopifyAPI::Auth::Session.temp(shop: 'test.myshopify.com', access_token: 'token') do |session|
  variant = ShopifyAPI::Variant.create_instance(session: session, data: { inventory_item_id: 1234, inventory_quantity: 10 })
  pp variant.inventory_quantity
  pp variant.to_hash
end

10
{"inventory_item_id"=>1234}
=> {"inventory_item_id"=>1234}

Expected behavior

I hope ShopifyAPI::Variant#to_hash include all API properties.

Actual behavior

Some properties exclude?

Hey @koshigoe, thanks for reporting this! The inventory_quantity field can't be sent when saving, so we started filtering it out when we call to_hash (because that is the method we use to serialize the object for saving). In your case, we shouldn't be ignoring that field.

We'll add a parameter to to_hash to make that behaviour optional. That way, when you call the method you'll get all the data.
