Tenant

Tenant allows for storing configuration settings in the database. This package is perfect for multitenant applications.

Installation

Install via Composer:

$ composer require "karlmonson/tenant": "~1.0"

Configuration

Register the Service Provider:

Karlmonson\Tenant\TenantServiceProvider::class,

Then register the Facade:

'Tenant' => Karlmonson\Tenant\Facades\Tenant::class,

Then run migrations to create the Tenant database table:

php artisan migrate

Usage

Seeding

To get started you may use the TenantTableSeeder provided by running the following command:

php artisan tenant:seed

This will seed the Tenant table with the default 3rd party config variables found the in .env file.

Creating/Updating Keys

To store a new key/value in the Tenant table, you may use the set method on the Tenant Facade:

<?php

namespace App;

use Karlmonson\Tenant\Facades\Tenant;

class Store
{
    public function setKey($key, $value, $encrypt = false, $env = false)
    {
        Tenant::set($key, $value, $encrypt, $env);
    }
}

The set function will both store a new key/value pair as well as update an already existing pair.

If the encrypt flag is set to true, the value will be stored using the Laravel encrypt() method. When you retrieve the value from Tenant, it will automatically filter through the decrypt() method. It is recommended to always use the encrypt flag for Passwords, API Secrets, and any other sensitive information.

If the env flag is set to true, it will let Tenant know that it is a System/Package config option that should be used in place of setting the value in the .env file.

You may also use the Artisan command to set/update keys:

php artisan tenant:set key value --encrypt=0|1 --environment=0|1

Retrieving Keys

To retrieve a key/value pair in the Tenant table, you may use the get method on the Tenant Facade:

<?php

namespace App;

use Karlmonson\Tenant\Facades\Tenant;

class Store
{
    public function getKey($key, $default = null)
    {
        Tenant::get($key, $default);
    }
}

The get method functions similarly to the Config::get() method by allowing you to pass a default value that will be returned if the value of the key is null or if the key does not exist.

You may also use the Artisan command to get keys, practical for testing/debugging purposes:

php artisan tenant:get key

Or you may also list all the keys in the Tenant table with the following command:

php artisan tenant:list

Using the Stored Config Values

This is probably the most important part of Tenant, and certainly the most magical.

When using Tenant for 3rd party services, you may use the values by calling the swapConfig method on the Tenant Facade:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Mail\TestMail;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use Karlmonson\Tenant\Facades\Tenant;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function sendMail()
    {
        Tenant::swapConfig();
        
        Mail::to('test@example.com')->send(new TestMail());
    }
}

The swapConfig method will load the stored values into their respective configs for the current request. They are not permanently added to the configs making it still possible to use the values from the .env file if you so desire.

In order for the key/values stored in Tenant to be swapped successfully, the must follow the same structure as listed in the .env file. (i.e. MAIL_DRIVER or REDIS_HOST)
