Multi Database App with the Laravel Framework 5.0

This example shows how any registered user can have its own database for one instance of an application with the Laravel Framework.

This kind of apps are called Multi-Tenant Applications because they use Multi-Tenant Data Architecture.

Using the power of Laravel 5 this demo:

• Creates a new database for a registered user with a base schema (running a set of migrations)
• Lets an authenticated user to access his own database data.

Considerations

Any new model intended to be used on any database must set the connection property like this:

OtherModel.php

protected $connection = 'tenantdb';

Any new migration intended to be part of the base schema for any database must be placed in:

database/migrations/tenant

Installation

   git clone https://github.com/uxweb/laravel-multi-db.git laravel-multi-db
   

2. Install Dependencies:
