README

SyndMultiTenantBundle adds multi-tenant support to your application. Set your entities to implement MultiTenantInterface, and you'll get the benefit of:

  • Automatically assigned to the active Tenant
  • Automatically filter repository calls by the active Tenant

What is a Tenant?

A tenant is simply any class which represents an isolated set of data. It could be a Site (for example, you use clientname.appname.com, or it could be a company or user account that you need unique data for.

By having your tenant entity implement TenantInterface, you can leave the implementation details up to your application.

Tenant Choosing Strategies

The bundle provides a default HostnameStrategy class, which attempts to pull the Tenant based on a Tenant.hostname field. More will be added later, or use your own by implementing TenantStrategyInterface - which simply returns a TenantInterface.

Example candidates:

  • Site entity
  • User entity
  • Company entity

Working with multi-tenant capable Entities

Your entity class needs to implement MultiTenantInterface, which defines getTenant and setTenant methods. After this, you can stop worrying about tenant-specific data.

It works by listening to new entities being persisted, and automatically calling setTenant with the active tenant.

There is also a new default EntityRepository class (MultiTenantEntityRepository), which is automatically instianated for mluti-tenant capable entities. It automatically filters all queries by the active Tenant.

If you have a custom repository class, be sure to extend this class instead of the default EntityRepository.
