README

The Multi Tenancy Bundle for Symfony is a convenient solution for incorporating multi-tenant databases in your Symfony application. It simplifies the process of using Doctrine to handle multiple databases with a single entity manager, allowing you to switch between them during runtime.

This bundle comes with a range of features, including the ability to effortlessly switch between tenant databases by triggering an event. Additionally, it supports distinct entity mapping for both the main and tenant entities. It also includes custom extended Doctrine commands for managing tenant databases independently, as well as the capability to generate and execute migrations for each database separately.

In the near future, you will also be able to execute bulk migrations for all tenant databases with a single command. Additionally, the bundle allows you to create and prepare a tenant database if it doesn't already exist

Supported Databases:

MySQL / MariaDB
PostgreSQL
SQLite

Installation

This bundle requires

Install using Composer

$ composer require hakam/multi-tenancy-bundle

Using the Bundle

The idea behind this bundle is simple,You have a main database and multi-tenant databases So:

Create specific entity witch should implement TenantDbConfigurationInterface. In your main database to save all tenant databases configurations.
You can use the TenantDbConfigTrait to implement the full required db config entity fields .
You can use the TimestampableTrait to add createdAt and updatedAt fields to your entity then you should add #[ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks] attribute to your entity class.
Split your entities in two directories, one for the main database and one for the tenant databases. For example Main and Tenant .
Split the migrations in two directories, one for the main database and one for the tenant databases. For example Main and Tenant .
Update your doctrine config to use the new directories for entities and migrations.See the example below.

# config/packages/doctrine.yaml
doctrine:
  dbal:
    default_connection: default
    url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%'
    orm:
      default_entity_manager: default #set the default entity manager to use the main database 
      entity_managers:   
          default:
            connection: default #set the default entity manager  to use the default connection
            naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore_number_aware
            auto_mapping: true
            mappings:
              App:
                is_bundle: false
                dir: '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Entity/Main'
                prefix: 'App\Entity\Main'
                alias: App
                
# config/packages/doctrine_migrations.yaml
doctrine_migrations:
    migrations_paths:
        'DoctrineMigrations\Main': '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Migrations/Main'

You MUST config the default connection and the default entity manager to use the main database. see the example above, for the complete configuration

You just need to update the config for the main EntityManager , Then the bundle will handle the rest for you.

Add the TenantEntityManager to your service or controller arguments.
Dispatch SwitchDbEvent with a custom value for your tenant db Identifier. Example new SwitchDbEvent(1)
You can switch between all tenants dbs just by dispatch the same event with different db identifier.
Now your instance from TenantEntityManager is connected to the tenant db with Identifier = 1.
It's recommended having your tenant entities in a different directory from your Main entities.

You can execute doctrine migration commands using our proxy commands for tenant database.

php bin/console tenant:database:create   # t:d:c  for short , To create and execute migration for non existing tenant db

php bin/console tenant:migration:diff 1   # t:m:d 1 for short , To generate migraiton for tenant db  => 1

php bin/console tenant:migration:migrate 1  # t:m:m 1, To run migraitons for tenant db  => 1

# Pass tenant identifier is optional and if it null the command will be executed on the defualt tenant db. 
# You can use the same options here for the same doctrine commands.

Example

You can check this project example Multi-Tenant Bundle Example to see how to use the bundle.

Notes:

All the doctrine migration commands and files is generated and executed especially for tenant databases independent of the main db migrations, Thanks for Doctrine migration bundle v3+ .

All the tenant databases migrations will be saved in the same directory you configured for tenant entities.

All the tenant databases has the same host ,username and password as the main database. we will support different host, username and password for tenant dbs in the near future.

Get Started Example

After configure the bundle as we mentioned above , you can use the following steps to get started.
You need to generate the main database migration with the new entity first. example php bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff
Then migrate the main database. example php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
Now you are ready to create new tenant databases and switch between them.
To create a new tenant database and execute the migration for it. Add the TenantDbConfig entity to your main database. then you can use the following command. example php bin/console tenant:database:create this command will create a new tenant database and execute the migration for it.
To switch to a tenant database. example $this->dispatcher->dispatch(new SwitchDbEvent($tenantDb->getId())); then you can use the TenantEntityManager to execute your queries.
You can add a relation between your tenant entity and the TenantDbConfig entity to get the tenant db config easily.

<?php
      public Class AppController extends AbstractController
      {
        public function __construct(
        private EntityManagerInterface $mainEntityManager,
        private TenantEntityManager $tenantEntityManager,
        private EventDispatcherInterface $dispatcher
    ) {
    }
      public function switchToLoggedInUserTenantDb(): void
      {
        $this->dispatcher->dispatch(new SwitchDbEvent($this->getUser()->getTenantDbConfig()->getId()));
        // Now you can use the tenant entity manager to execute your queries.
      }
    }

You can use the custom doctrine commands for tenant databases to perform the same doctrine commands on tenant databases. example php bin/console tenant:migration:diff 1 to generate migration for tenant db with id = 1. example php bin/console tenant:migration:migrate 1 to execute migration for tenant db with id = 1.
Now You can work with the TenantEntityManager as you work with the main entity manager.
You can now add or delete entities from the main or tenant databases and generate migrations for each database separately.

Configuration

In this example below you can find the list of all configuration parameters required witch you should create in config/packages/hakam_multi_tenancy.yaml with this configuration:

Suggested Patterns For Use

User

Store the users current tenant ID in the session or the User entity. This allows you to get the current tenant at any time.

Tenant Interface

Implement an interface on all your tenant entities. This allows you to identify if an entity is associated with a tenant object. Then you can get the current tenant ID from the current user, and switch the entity manager to the tenant DB.

namespace App\Entity\Tenant;

use App\Model\OrgActivitySuperclass;
use App\Repository\Tenant\OrgActivityRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Hakam\MultiTenancyBundle\Model\TenantEntityInterface;

#[ORM\Entity(repositoryClass: OrgActivityRepository::class)]
class OrgActivity extends OrgActivitySuperclass implements TenantEntityInterface
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue]
    #[ORM\Column]
    private ?int $id = null;
           
}

Custom Controller

Extend your base controller class to overwrite some of the normal controller functions for persistence.

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use App\Entity\Main\Tenant;
use App\Entity\Tenant\Organisation;
use Hakam\MultiTenancyBundle\Doctrine\ORM\TenantEntityManager;
use Hakam\MultiTenancyBundle\Event\SwitchDbEvent;
use Hakam\MultiTenancyBundle\Model\TenantEntityInterface;
use Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface;
use Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Security;
use Umbrella\CoreBundle\Controller\BaseController;

abstract class DbSwitcherController extends BaseController
{
    public function __construct(private EventDispatcherInterface $eventDispatcher, private TenantEntityManager $tenantEntityManager)
    {
    }
    
    protected function switchDb(Tenant $tenant): Organisation
    {

        // Switch the TenantEntityManager to the current tenant.
        $event = new SwitchDbEvent($tenant->getId());
        $this->eventDispatcher->dispatch($event);

        // Optional depending on your usage, here we return the top entity whenever we switch to a new Tenant DB.
        $organisation = $this->tenantEntityManager->getRepository(Organisation::class)
            ->findOneIdByXeroOrganisationId($tenant->getXeroOrganisationId());

        return $organisation;
    }

    /**
     * Override parent method to check if the entity is a Tenant entity or main entity. Return which ever is appropriate.
     */  
    protected function findOrNotFound(string $className, $id)
    {

        $em = $this->em();

        $reflection = new \ReflectionClass($className);

        if ($reflection instanceof TenantEntityInterface) {
            $em = $this->tenantEntityManager;
        }

        $e = $em->find($className, $id);
        $this->throwNotFoundExceptionIfNull($e);

        return $e;
    }

    /**
     * Override parent method to check if the entity is a Tenant entity or main entity. Return which ever is appropriate.
     */  
    protected function persistAndFlush($entity): void
    {
        if ($entity instanceof TenantEntityInterface) {
            $this->tenantEntityManager->persist($entity);
            $this->tenantEntityManager->flush();
            return;
        }
        $this->em()->persist($entity);
        $this->em()->flush();
    }

    /**
     * Override parent method to check if the entity is a Tenant entity or main entity. Return which ever is appropriate.
     */  
    protected function removeAndFlush($entity): void
    {
        if ($entity instanceof TenantEntityInterface) {
            $this->tenantEntityManager->remove($entity);
            $this->tenantEntityManager->flush();
            return;
        }
        $this->em()->remove($entity);
        $this->em()->flush();
    }
}

Custom Value Resolver

Symfony uses an Entity Value Resolver to load entities associated with parameters passed to controller actions. https://symfony.com/doc/current/controller/value_resolver.html

This resolver is essential to making sure your IsGranted and other Security actions work in the controllers.

Create a custom entity value resolver to switch based on a ReflectionClass of the entity (based on the TenantEntityInterface).

You can copy the value resolver here: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/6.2/src/Symfony/Bridge/Doctrine/ArgumentResolver/EntityValueResolver.php

And modify it to exclude non TenantEntityInterface objects. Then switch DB based on the current user tenant.
