I am having an issue specifying a different datasource to use in a custom session handler inside config/app.php. Here are the relevant bits:
config/app.php
<?php
return [
... ,
'Datasources' => [
'default' => [...],
'test' => [...],
'session' => [...]
],
'Session' => [
'defaults' => 'database',
'ini' => ['session.cookie_domain' => '.example.com'],
'handler' => [
'engine' => 'CustomSessionHandler', // file and class name of custom handler
'model' => 'sessions' // table name
]
]
];
CustomSessionHandler.php is a copy of the default DatabaseSession.php with a few customisations in the query building to work with our existing sessions table schema.
Right now, it's trying to use the 'default' datasource, and as you might guess, I'm trying to get it to use the 'session' datasource. However I can't find any information on how to do that.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
The session handler only knows about the model, respectively the table class, and it shouldn't really know more than that.
So what you could do is configure that table class to use a non-default connection. If you don't have a concrete SessionsTable class yet, create one, and override Table::defaultConnectionName(), like
public static function defaultConnectionName()
{
return 'session';
}

I used Gii code generator to create a model and its CRUD for a table located in the non public schema but then the URL is not working: Error 404 not found.
I have a PostgreSQL database called travels with two schemas: public and laboratory. Everything works perfect using the public schema.
Now I need to use the laboratory schema that I created recently. So I created the model (a minor problem: autocomplete doesn't work for laboratory schema but the model is created anyway):
Then I created the CRUD:
Then I try to see the results:
It's my common/config/main-local.php file:
<?php
return [
'components' => [
'db' => [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=travel',
'username' => 'aaaa',
'password' => 'bbbb',
'charset' => 'utf8',
],
],
];
The problem was that I modified this file before and something was not right:
/vendor/yiisoft/yii2-gii/generators/crud/default/views
The problem about model autocomplete is still there.
Copy the file gii.js from vendor/yiisoft/yii2-gii/assets to the directory where you throw the error for your case will vary.
Right now I'm trying to implement themming for my Yii2 based project.
How I see the thing now:
User chooses an application theme from the list on the settings
page in backend.
Using yii2-settings I'm saving all the
configuration data in DB (pretty easy).
In the application
bootstrap.php I'm creating new alias called #theme. Basically it
should lead us to a application theme base path (used in search
paths, assets manager, e.t.c.).
According to official
documentation, that's how I configured my view component:
'view' => [
'theme' => [
'basePath' => '#theme',
'baseUrl' => '#theme',
'pathMap' => [
'#app/views' => '#theme',
'#app/widgets' => '#theme/widgets',
'#app/modules' => '#theme/modules',
],
],
],
An issue I have is with p.3. According to yii2-settings documentation that's how I supposed to read the settings:
$theme = Yii::$app->settings->get('name', 'general');
Yii::setAlias('#theme', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../themes/$theme"));
But obviously, it's not working for me because of yii2-settings component didn't initialized yet when bootstrap.php is called. I've been trying to initialize it later in the init() method of my base controller, then adjust other aliases manually, but I feel that way being somewhat 'unclean', and also it still fails because of #theme alias is also used in asset file which is Yii2 starting to publish before calling the controller's init method.
So does anyone has any thoughts of how to do that 'hacking' the code as less as possible? I know I could just move configuration to some file, then read it manually before the application initialization, but it's still not the way I want to go.
Maybe there's some way to override some system component to set the alias after db component is loaded, but before view component configuration? Or Yii loads this components in a different order? Anyway. Any help would be appreciated!
You could try an Application Event in bootstrap:
\Yii::$app->on(\yii\base\Application::EVENT_BEFORE_REQUEST, function ($event) {
$theme = Yii::$app->settings->get('name', 'general');
Yii::setAlias('#theme', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../themes/$theme"));
});
OR in configuration file:
[
'on beforeRequest' => function ($event) {
// ...
},
]
From Yii 2 docs:
EVENT_BEFORE_REQUEST This event is triggered before an application
handles a request. The actual event name is beforeRequest.
When this event is triggered, the application instance has been
configured and initialized. So it is a good place to insert your
custom code via the event mechanism to intercept the request handling
process. For example, in the event handler, you may dynamically set
the yii\base\Application::$language property based on some parameters.
Here's the final solution:
config/bootstrap.php:
// Setting a temporary path for components configuration - will be changed later
Yii::setAlias('#theme', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../themes/"));
config/main.php
'components' => [
'view' => [
'theme' => [
'basePath' => '#theme',
'baseUrl' => '#theme',
'pathMap' => [
'#app/views' => '#theme',
'#app/widgets' => '#theme/widgets',
'#app/modules' => '#theme/modules',
],
],
],
],
'on beforeRequest' => function ($event) {
$theme = Yii::$app->settings->get('theme', 'general');
Yii::setAlias('#theme', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../themes/$theme"));
},
I have MongoDB Active Records (models) and I'm wondering if it's possible to use Redis to automatically set/get/delete the models from Redis's storage.
For example, if I was to run:
MyModel::find()->where(["id" => 1])->one();
is there a way to make Redis store the result and return it the next time I run that same code?
Also, if I was to update the model with id = 1, I'd expect Redis to invalidate the cache.
Is all that possible?
It doesn't matter which DB to use. It is about how to implement them. Yii have those two components to set in the config file:
db: a database connection to be used where needed like an Active Record class to represent a model or Query Builders or ...
cache: designed to cache things from HTML pages and HTTP requests to database queries related data.
The good thing about MongoDB and Redis is that both can be used as a database connection or as a cache component. You may have those configs for example:
'components' => [
'db' => [
'class' => '\yii\mongodb\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mongodb://developer:password#localhost:27017/mydatabase',
],
'cache' => [
'class' => 'yii\redis\Cache',
'redis' => [
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'port' => 6379,
'database' => 0,
]
],
],
Here, while MongoDB is set as your default database, Redis is only used as a cache component and because all cache components have the same base class yii\caching\Cache they only support those APIs. Which should be fine if you are using it for caching proposes only.
Check the Yii2 Caching Guide to see all what you can do with a cache component. A quick example of what you are trying to do may be seen within #Blizz answer here where he did set an SQL query as a dependency to check if cached data should be used or invalidated instead.
In case you need to use the Redis database for more than just caching then you may have those configs instead:
'components' => [
'mongodb' => [
'class' => '\yii\mongodb\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mongodb://developer:password#localhost:27017/mydatabase',
],
'redis' => [
'class' => 'yii\redis\Connection',
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'port' => 6379,
'database' => 0,
],
'cache' => [
'class' => 'yii\redis\Cache',
'redis' => 'redis' // id of the connection application component
],
],
Here we defined 2 databases and selected one of them to be also used as a cache component. It should work the exact same way except that you can also use the Redis database inside your app as a Redis ActiveRecord or a Redis ActiveQuery class. You will just need to set which DB to be used inside each model class as it is done in this example.
I am trying to build and application using Laravel 5. It is supposed to be a multi tenant database architecture using multiple databases. My employer requires this for security purposes.
I have tried manually managing the main DB migrations and the Tenant migrations but failed. So I decided to take the help of a Laravel specific package which is supposedly what I require.
Tenanti provides a way to have my purpose solved but the problem is that me being a novice developer, am not able to fully understand how to use it in my application.
I have installed it correctly I believe doing:
composer require "orchestra/tenanti=~3.0"
Adding these providers and aliases in the config app file:
'providers' => [
// ...
Orchestra\Tenanti\TenantiServiceProvider::class,
Orchestra\Tenanti\CommandServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
'Tenanti' => Orchestra\Support\Facades\Tenanti::class,
],
Finally publishing the config and tweaking it according to the documentation for multiple databases:
php artisan vendor:publish
return [
'drivers' => [
'user' => [
'model' => App\User::class,
'migration' => 'tenant_migrations',
'path' => database_path('tenanti/user'),
],
],
];
At this point I am still blurry what to do next?
My doubts are as follows:
Where will the migration files be generated and stored? I mean there are two kinds of databases in my application obviously. One set of files is for the main DB which will store all the tenant information and the other files will be for the tenant DB. So how and where will these be stored?
I see the word 'driver' a lot in the documentation but I am not sure what driver is exactly.
How will I handle the authentication for the application? I mean whenever a tenant logs in, I will have to make sure the connection to the database changes dynamically. How will I accomplish this?
I tried to go through the repository of the package itself and make sense of the code inside but in vain. I am not very good when it comes to design patters like facades, command bus, service provider and so on, which is why I am not able to understand the flow of the package or make sense of it.
I tried to run some of the artisan commands which come with the package like:
php artisan tenanti:install {driver}
php artisan tenanti:make {driver} {name}
But I am getting an error like so:
[InvalidArgumentException] Database connection
[tenants] is not available.
Where can I find the resources to understand how to proceed with this?
+1 to #morphatic answer, it quiet accurate on most of the stuff.
Migration
One set of files is for the main DB which will store all the tenant information and the other files will be for the tenant DB. So how and where will these be stored?
For your main database you should be able to use the default database/migration and utilize php artisan make:migration and php artisan migrate.
Tenanti however will use the migration path set under the "driver" configuration. e.g:
'path' => database_path('tenanti/user'),
In this case the migration will be created/migrated from database/tenanti/user (you can choose other folder and it will use that folder). Once you set this up you can create new migration file for the user tenant via php artisan tenanti:make user create_blogs_table (as an example) and run migration via php artisan tenanti:migrate user (see the similarity between Laravel migration command and Tenanti?).
Driver
Driver is just the grouping of a tenant, you maybe grouping it by users, companies, or team etc. And there is possibility that you may require more than one type of group per project, otherwise most of the time you only be using single "group" or "driver".
Authentication or Accessing DB
How will I handle the authentication for the application? I mean whenever a tenant logs in, I will have to make sure the connection to the database changes dynamically. How will I accomplish this?
First of all, you need to consider how you're planning to distinguish each tenant. Most of the time I would see people tend to opt for subdomain. So in this case you need to check if the subdomain belongs to any of the user (by querying the main database) using a middleware and then connect to the database that belongs to the user.
Tenanti doesn't manage that part of the process, because everyone has different style on that aspect, but we do provide a code to dynamically connect to your database tenant from a base database configuration.
Let say you have the following config:
<?php
return [
'fetch' => PDO::FETCH_CLASS,
'default' => 'primary',
'connections' => [
'primary' => [
//
],
'tenants' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'dbhost', // for user with id=1
'username' => 'dbusername', // for user with id=1
'password' => 'dbpassword', // for user with id=1
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
],
],
'migrations' => 'migrations',
'redis' => [ ... ],
];
You can follow the step available in https://github.com/orchestral/tenanti#multi-database-connection-setup and add the following code.
<?php namespace App\Providers;
use Orchestra\Support\Facades\Tenanti;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
Tenanti::setupMultiDatabase('tenants', function (User $entity, array $template) {
$template['database'] = "tenant_{$entity->getKey()}";
return $template;
});
}
}
This would ensure that you be using tenant_1 database for user=1, tenant_2 database for user=2 and so on.
So how does Tenanti detect which user if active?
This is where you need to add logic in your middleware.
$user = App\User::whereSubdomain($request->route()->parameter('tenant'))->first();
Tenanti::driver('user')->asDefaultDatabase($user, 'tenants_{id}');
I've never used this package, but using the code you submitted above here's what I think is probably close to the right solution. You will probably still need to play with some of these values to get them correct:
Migration Paths
Since you're using the multi-database configuration, I believe you should be able to keep your migrations in the normal location, i.e. database/migrations. Tenanti will then create an exact replica of the database for each tenant in a different database. However, when you run php artisan tenanti:install user it might actually create a folder under database/ that indicates where you should put your migrations.
What is a "driver"?
The driver describes whether Tenanti will use a single or multiple databases, what models to use for determining different tenants, and where to store migrations. It is what you identified in the Tenanti config file you used above.
Database Connection Selection
You need to update config/database.php as follows. In a normal Laravel app, you would have the DB connection setup as follows:
<?php
return [
'fetch' => PDO::FETCH_CLASS,
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
'connections' => [
'sqlite' => [ ...DB connection info... ],
'mysql' => [ ...DB connection info... ],
'pgsql' => [ ...DB connection info... ],
'sqlsrv' => [ ...DB connection info... ],
],
'migrations' => 'migrations',
'redis' => [ ... ],
];
However, in the case of Tenanti multi-database setup, you need to add in different connection info for each tenant's database. To do this you would add a new level to your database.php config file (this example assumes you're using mysql, but you could use any DB, or even different database engines for different tenants):
<?php
return [
'fetch' => PDO::FETCH_CLASS,
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),
'connections' => [
'tenants' => [
'user_1' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'dbhost', // for user with id=1
'database' => 'dbname', // for user with id=1
'username' => 'dbusername', // for user with id=1
'password' => 'dbpassword', // for user with id=1
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
'user_2' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'dbhost', // for user with id=2
'database' => 'dbname', // for user with id=2
'username' => 'dbusername', // for user with id=2
'password' => 'dbpassword', // for user with id=2
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => false,
],
],
],
'migrations' => 'migrations',
'redis' => [ ... ],
];
As you can see, each tenant has its own database instance that can be located on a different host and have a different username/password. Tenanti needs to be told how to figure out which database to use. This is what the documentation on Database Connection Resolver describes. In their example, they've named their tenant databases using acme_{$user->id} whereas in my example above I used user_{$user->id}.
Like I said, I've never actually set this up myself, but these are my best guesses based on the docs, and having used other packages by this same developer. Hope this helps!
I created a simple login and registration in my page and I also added some new columns in the default users table. Now my problem is I have another table named as admin and the default Laravel's Auth table is users. How can I implement the same functionality in my table?
In the Users model it has the declaration for the table name
protected $table = 'users';
Can you give me an example how can I use the default laravel's auth class?
Thats all thanks. :-)
Laravel takes default users table for an application. For a change of laravel authentication different table relevant table name, we need to make a small change in authentication file of config.
Go to
config/auth.php
'providers' => [
// 'users' => [
// 'driver' => 'eloquent',
// 'model' => App\User::class,
// ],
'users' => [
'driver' => 'database',
'table' => 'user',
],
],
Do you hear about Multiauth in laravel. in this library there are two or more type user can login in one laravel application. In our case there are two type user Admin and Public that means User right.
Both forgot password and reset password functionality works separately in one application.
After install this library have have one step like below.
'multi' => [ 'admin' => [ 'driver' => 'database', 'table' => 'admin', 'email' => 'client.emails.password' ], 'users' => [ 'driver' => 'database', 'table' => 'users', 'email' => 'client.emails.password', ] ],
change your Auth.php file code with this one.
installation
Firstly you want to include this package in your composer.json file.
"require": {
"sboo/multiauth" : "4.0.*"
}
Now you'll want to update or install via composer.
composer update
Usage
Everything is done the exact same way as the original library, the one exception being that all method calls are prefixed with the key (account or user in the above examples) as a method itself.
Auth::admin()->attempt(array(
'email' => $attributes['email'],
'password' => $attributes['password'],
));
Auth::client()->attempt(array(
'email' => $attributes['email'],
'password' => $attributes['password'],
));
Auth::admin()->check();
Auth::client()->check();
Here is your library
I don't think the best way is to duplicate your table. I would extend users table with a role field that indicates if the user is a standard one or an admin. This way, you can keep the same code and add the ADMIN functionality that you are looking for.
If you NEED to do that and you are using Laravel 4, maybe you can use this plugin:
https://github.com/ollieread/multiauth/
Also in this thread you have code that implements Auth in different tables:
https://gist.github.com/danielcoimbra/64b779b4d9e522bc3373
But I strongly suggest to integrate both tables in one with an Admin flag/field
