Hello,

I have been going through Commerce videos to get a feel for the current state of handling dependent products or addons (they currently seem to be handled as line items):
http://www.drupalcommerce.org/videos/tutorials/customizable-products-piz...

And I think the idea of a dependent product is somewhat better and more user friendly than the line item approach in the videos. So, lets stick with pizza.

Steps:
1.. create pizza and its toppings as separate products
2. for toppings set a product reference field for a pizza or a term reference for pizza category, (my product entity has a reference field to other products called dependent)
Once this structure is set, we can
3. implement rules to make sure that a topping is only selected with a pizza etc.
4. show dependent products indented in the Cart.

What do you think? I believe this is a very simple and straightforward idea.

Looks like this has been thought of before for UC, somewhat reassuring :) http://drupal.org/project/uc_product_dependencies

I like your idea Giorgio. Did you implement this with Commerce and Rules ok?

If so, could you provide a export of the Rule you used or brief instructions on how to set this up?

Thank you.

Commerce Product Add-On looks like just the thing, for Drupal 7.

@bojanz I have been looking for a couple of days for an equivalent in Drupal 8, or a way to configure rules or order item types... Anyone know if
A. this is possible in D8 Commerce 2 and if there is a tutorial somewhere that might help?
B. is there another module as I see that Commerce Product Add-On does not even have a D8 branch.

Thanks

@duncan.moo
There is no D8 equivalent yet. You will need to write or sponsor the D8 port yourself, or wait for someone else to do it or sponsor it.
