Installation

composer require hyn/multi-tenant

Automatic service registration

Using auto discovery, the tenancy package will be auto detected by Laravel automatically.

Manual service registration

In case you want to disable webserver integration or prefer manual integration, set the dont-discover in your application composer.json, like so:

{
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": "hyn/multi-tenant"
        }
    }
}

If you disable auto discovery you are able to configure the providers by yourself.

Register the service provider in your config/app.php:

    'providers' => [
        // [..]
        // Hyn multi tenancy.
        Hyn\Tenancy\Providers\TenancyProvider::class,
        // Hyn multi tenancy webserver integration.
        Hyn\Tenancy\Providers\WebserverProvider::class,
    ],

Deploy configuration

First publish the configuration files so you can modify it to your needs:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag tenancy

Open the config/tenancy.php and config/webserver.php file and modify to your needs.

Make sure your system connection has been configured in database.php. In case you didn't override the system connection name the default connection is used.

Now run:

php artisan tenancy:install

This will run the required system database migrations.

Testing

Run tests using (not recommended when using MySQL database driver):

Please note this will create an enormous number of tenant databases. You can easily remove these by running the bash script to clean the local databases that follow the same naming convention as this package:

bash tests/scripts/clean-local-dbs.sh

Please be warned this will reset your current application completely, dropping tenant and system databases and removing the tenancy.json file inside the Laravel directory.
