Configuration Files

php artisan vendor:publish

Setup the database for your Tenants in your .env files, _(*6)

Create the needed model classes

php artisan tenant:basemodels

class Tenant extends Model
{
    protected $connection = 'todo';

    protected $table = 'tenants';

    protected $primaryKey = 'tenant_id';

    protected $fillable = ['tenant_uid', 'company_name', 'short_company_name', 'database_prefix', 'address'];
    .......



### Create the template, tenant migration folders as well as a tenant public folder ###



php artisan tenant:folders



This package registers a middleware called authTenant within it's service provider.
This is needed in order to automatically set the default connections for the Application's model

### For a todo application [see demo application](https://github.com/gamerwalt/TodoMultitenantDemo) ###
Inside your controllers that will control tenant specific routing, add the following to the __construct methods



$this->middleware('auth');
$this->middleware('authTenant'); //This is automatically pushed to laravel's kernel


also make sure to include the trait to do migrations automatically once the tenant has registered their company...



use MigrateTenantDatabase;


Complete namespace for this is...



use rndwiga\MultiTenant\Traits\MigrateTenantDatabase;


### Create your migration files ###
This assumes you have already done...



php artisan vendor:publish


So create your migration files...



php artisan make:migration create_todo_table --create=todos --path=database/migrations/tenant


#### Your TenantDatabase Model ###
**This is important**

Your TenantDatabase model **must** implement the ITenantDatabase interface



class TenantDatabase extends Model implements ITenantDatabase


Once that's done, start with registering a user, at least collect information needed. In your controller that registers the user, tenant, tenant_database, tenant_users you should be able to do...



$this->migrateTenantDatabase($tenantDatabase->hostname, $tenantDatabase->database_name, $tenantDatabase->user_name, $tenantDatabase->password);


Use [this](https://github.com/gamerwalt/TodoMultitenantDemo) demo as a guide.
See SessionsController@postRegister.
This should show the code...



    $input = $request->all();
    $email = $input['email'];
    $password = $input['password'];
    $name = $input['name'];
    $companyName = $input['company_name'];

    DB::beginTransaction();

    $user = $this->registerUser($email, $password, $name);
    $tenant = $this->registerTenant($companyName);
    $tenantUser = $this->createTenantUserDetails($user, $tenant);
    $tenantDatabase = $this->createTenantDatabase($tenant);

    DB::commit();
    //now we can migrate the database of the tenant using the tenant database settings

    $this->migrateTenantDatabase($tenantDatabase->hostname, $tenantDatabase->database_name,
                                     $tenantDatabase->user_name, $tenantDatabase->password);
