Integrate multi-tenancy in laravel backpack

[smzapp]

We're using laravel backpack on our existing app. Now, we upscale it by integrating multi-tenancy stancl/tenancy.
Do you have specific way to do it?

Backpack does not provide official, first-party documentation or a dedicated integration guide for multi-tenancy with stancl/tenancy. However, there are several community discussions and experiences that can help guide your approach:

• Multi-tenancy with Backpack is possible, but you will likely need to handle some customizations yourself. The general advice is to use a package like spatie/laravel-multitenancy or stancl/tenancy, and then ensure that your Backpack admin panel is aware of the current tenant context. This might involve switching database connections or applying tenant-specific logic in your models, controllers, or middleware. There is no out-of-the-box solution from Backpack for this scenario, so expect to write some glue code yourself is there anyone tried backpack with multitenant implementation?.

• If you encounter issues with Backpack routes or features (such as DevTools) not working as expected in a multi-tenant setup, you may need to customize route registration or service providers. For example, one user solved a DevTools routing issue by creating a custom DevToolsRouteServiceProvider to ensure routes were registered correctly for both central and tenant contexts Devtools 404 error.

• When using multiple databases or connections (which is common in multi-tenancy), ensure your models specify the correct connection, and be aware that Backpack will use the connection defined on the model. You may need to swap database connections at runtime, as tenancy packages do, or set up multiple connections in your config/database.php [Support for db schema, defined in $table on Model > Comments].

• There is no official Backpack package or preset for stancl/tenancy, so you will need to adapt your application structure and possibly Backpack's configuration to work with your tenancy logic.

Summary:
You can use Backpack with stancl/tenancy, but you must handle the integration details yourself. This typically involves ensuring the correct database connection and tenant context are set for each request, and possibly customizing route registration or middleware. There is no official, step-by-step guide from Backpack for this integration, but community members have successfully implemented similar setups with some custom work.

If you run into specific issues, searching the Backpack community forum or opening a discussion there may help, as others have faced similar challenges.

Hello @smzapp

As our bot says, we don't have official support for multitenant packages, but some users have integrated them. I recommend following the official multitenant package documentation and let us know if you encounter any issues you need resolved.

Cheers.
