In modern multi-tenancy systems, it’s pretty popular to give a specific sub-domain for every user or company, like laraveldaily.slack.com. How to handle these subdomains in Laravel routes?
The code in routes/web.php is pretty straightforward:
Route::domain('{company_name}.workspace.com')->group(function () {
Route::get('users', 'UsersController@index');
});
So {company_name} could be any value (of course, you need to configure it in your domain DNS records, too), and then this will come as a parameter variable to the Controller, with the same name.
public function index($company_name)
{
$company = Company::findOrFail($company_name);
$users = User::where('company_id', $company->id)->get();
return view('users.index', compact('users'));
}Wait, But.. How to Setup Local Environment?
With this routes file, we have a problem. Then we need to configure our local server to have specific workspace.com domain? Don’t worry, there’s a cure for that, we can make even that domain a variable:
Route::domain('{company_name}.' . env('SITE_URL', 'workspace.com'))->group( // ...So now the whole string would consists of two variables – subdomain and main domain, both configurable.
For your local environment, you can set up something like workspace.test domain, and then add this into your .env file:
SITE_URL=workspace.testIf Laravel doesn’t find any value for SITE_URL, it will default to workspace.com.
That’s it, good luck with your multi-tenancy projects!
Ho, great article. Make me think about, how about having a complet domain for each of the tenant ? Something like mysite1.com for user1, mysite2.com for user2. Is this feasible ?
Not really, you can’t register new domains that flexibly, that’s not how domain registration works. It’s not about Laravel or code, it’s domain system.
good article (:
I have applied all of the items and changed apache like
ServerName website.com
ServerAlias *.website.com

0.0.0.0 website.com
0.0.0.0 *.website.com
.i work laravel5.7 ubuntu on localhost .. what is miss ??
Great article, save my day, Thanks,,
Hi, nice article, thanks, I was wondering how do you make this work with the subdomain dns and nginx in forge? thanks again
Hi man, nice and short article.
But I wonder, how some other online sites do that. For example Slack.com has this feature. As soon as we register it asks to set a workspace url so if I set “web-developer” as a workspace name, the Slack creates my url like “web-developer.slack.com”
I can use this url as soon as I verifies my email address. So I don’t think there is any manual process to add a sub-domain entry in DNS records.
I want to achieve like that in laravel, can you guide me please?
It’s not in Laravel, you need to configure your DNS, domains, subdomains and web-server for this. So search for documentation for your web-server.
This can work without configuring DNS and subdomains manually. I can’t remember the exact steps, but I know I had a tenancy project a couple of years back, coded in procedural php, where we used .htaccess to accomplish the subdomain routing. I would think the same thing would be possible with Laravel, but haven’t found a single article/tutorial on how to accomplish it.
in my app I am registering user on app.client.net and then use willdcard subdomain {subdoman}.client.net both route groups are in route.php and working good on localhost but wildcard subdomain not working on live server. I deployed my project on app.client.net subdomain on server.
Hi, thanks for useful article.
I have a subdomain route in my project and I get the domain parameter in the controller then I return a view.
Route::domain(‘{website}.localhost’)->group(function () {
Route::get(‘/’, ‘HomeController@index’)->name(‘home’);
Route::resource(‘/courses’, ‘CourseController’);
…. other routes
}
In the view I use route() function for calling another page:
مشاهده دوره
But I have error which says :Missing required parameters for [Route: courses.show] [URI: courses/{course}].
I think I have to pass the subdomain parameter too. but I want laravel to do that automatically.
Is there any solution for this situation or I need pass subdomain parameter to each route?
You need to pass to each parameter, there’s no shorter way.
