Any good solutions for configurable products with the new frontend? Looks like the gems we were using don't work on the new frontend yet as far as I can tell. (solidus_configurable_kits and I've seen solidus_product_assembly talked about)

If product assembly doesn't work, it should be trivial to get it to work. It doesn't really have much of a frontend component, it's mostly just about exploding individual variants into their component parts at the shipment level.

I don't have experience with the configurable kits extension though. Generally speaking I don't expect most extensions like this to be hard to adapt.

Looks like solidus_configurable_kits actually added a gem requirement in October for the legacy solidus_frontend gem, so not sure if they tried and ran into trouble or haven't attempted yet.
Thanks. I'll fork one of them and see if I can figure out how to get it compatible. Just wasn't sure if there was already some work underway or a gem I'd missed.

i've had good luck with the assemblies -- the only gotcha is that if you modify a product assembly after a purchase was made, it will back apply to all previous orders with that assembly

@Tyler Kocheff regarding solidus_configurable_kits: we haven't tried. If you get it running on solidus_starter_frontend, we'd be very happy about a PR :)
