Ideal setup for a SaaS Multi Tenant System

[MarvinS1991]

Hello Ramy,

first of all, thank you very much for this great bundle! I think you have solved a fundamental problem for everyone who wants to use Symfony Mandant-enabled.

I am wondering if it is possible to centralize the tenant switch event
$switchEvent = new SwitchDbEvent($tenantUser->getTenantDbConfig()->getId()); $this->dispatcher->dispatch($switchEvent);

Instead of using it everywhere I want to create, edit or delete some tenant specific entites, would it be easier to generally switch the main entity manager after e.g. you successfully logged in with your Main/TenantUser and got authorized?

Many thanks for your help!
Marvin

Hi Marvin,

Thank you for your question and for your kind words about the Multi-Tenancy Bundle.

To answer your question, yes, it is possible to centralize the tenant switch event (SwitchDbEvent) instead of dispatching it everywhere you need to create, edit, or delete tenant-specific entities. A common approach is to automatically switch the entity manager to the correct tenant database after a successful login or another key event, like when a user session starts

In this scenario, you can listen to Symfony events such as security.interactive_login or kernel.request to dispatch the SwitchDbEvent with the appropriate tenant identifier. This way, whenever a user logs in or starts a new session, the application automatically switches to the correct tenant database.

Hi Rami,

thank you! Actually it seems, that the entity manager has to be switched before every em request. So switching once after successfully logged in seems not to work.

Thanks in advance!
