Multi-tenancy for Spree using Apartment (per tenant databases)

Spree Shared

Multiple stores using a single Spree application instance.

Uses request subdomain to swap database, view paths, Rails cache (preferences), mail settings, image paths and so much more.

Installation

1. Tweak config/database.yml to use Postgresql, and dummy master database.

2. Add the following line to host application.rb

    config.middleware.use 'Apartment::Elevators::Subdomain'

3. Create an initializer config/apartment.rb with the following:

    Apartment.configure do |config|
      config.prepend_environment = false
      config.tenant_names = ['store1', 'store2']
    end

4. Bootstrap sample stores

    bundle exec rake spree_shared:bootstrap['store1']
    bundle exec rake spree_shared:bootstrap['store2']

5. Setup local subdomains for sample stores, as spree_shared uses by default subdomain routing you need to confirm some local domains such as:

store1.spree.dev store2.spree.dev

This can be done using Pow or editing your local /etc/hosts file.

6. Set namespace for cache engine in development.rb and/or production.rb

    config.cache_store = :memory_store, { :namespace => lambda { ENV['RAILS_CACHE_ID'] } }

Testing

Be sure to add the rspec-rails gem to your Gemfile and then create a dummy test app for the specs to run against.

$ bundle exec rake test_app
$ bundle exec rspec spec
