How to Handle domain and sub-domain in Route using Laravel MiddleWare - laravel

Question

In my Laravel-5.8 application, I have a multi-company application using a single database. Each table have a company_id derived from the company table as shown below:
id | company_name | subdomain
1 | Main |
2 | Company1 | company1
3 | Company2 | company2
Main=> localhost:8888/myapp
Company1=>localhost:8888/company1.myapp
Company2=>localhost:8888/company2.myapp
I created a middleware:
class VerifyDomain
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$domain == "myapp"; // your company app name
$path = $request->getPathInfo(); // should return /company1.myapp or /company2.myapp or /myapp
if (strpos($path, ".") !== false) { // if path has dot.
list($subdomain, $main) = explode('.', $path);
if(strcmp($domain, $main) !== 0){
abort(404); // if domain is not myapp then throw 404 page error
}
} else{
if(strcmp($domain, $path) !== 0){
abort(404); // if domain is not myapp then throw 404 page error
}
$subdomain = ""; // considering for main domain value is empty string.
}
$company = Company::where('subdomain', $subdomain)->firstOrFail(); // if not found then will throw 404
$request->session()->put('subdomain', $company); //store it in session
return $next($request);
}
}
Already, I have two (2) route groups in the route/web.php wgich looks like this:
Route::get('/', ['as' => '/', 'uses' => 'IndexController#getLogin']);
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/dashboard', 'HomeController#index')->name('dashboard');
// Config Module
Route::group(['prefix' => 'config', 'as' => 'config.', 'namespace' => 'Config', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::resource('countries', 'ConfigCountriesController');
Route::resource('nationalities', 'ConfigNationalitiesController');
});
// HR Module
Route::group(['prefix' => 'hr', 'as' => 'hr.', 'namespace' => 'Hr', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::resource('designations', 'HrDesignationsController');
Route::resource('departments', 'HrDepartmentsController');
Route::resource('employee_categories', 'HrEmployeeCategoriesController');
});
I have 2 issues:
If subdomain field is null, then the route should be for main domain: Main=> localhost:8888/myapp else localhost:8888/company1.myapp or localhost:8888/company2.myapp
2.How do I accomodate the route groups above into this:
Route::domain('localhost:8888/myapp')->group(function () {
Route::get('/', function ($id) {
//
});
});
Route::domain('localhost:8888/{subdomain}.myapp')->group(function () {
Route::get('/', function ($company_name, $id) {
$company = Company::where('subdomain', $subdomain)->firstOrFail();
// send the value of $company to data to send different view data
});
});

I'm not really sure that i understand you clearly. But, I hope you'll understand me :)
First thing is you're "domain". I suppose it's not real domain, but just uri. And maybe you should use it something like that:
Auth::routes();
$defaultDomain = config('myconfig.default_domain_name', 'myapp');
// I'm not reccomend to you use localhost:8888 here.
Route::domain('localhost:8888')
->group([
'middleware' => ['veryfy_domain'] // Add your VerifyDomain Middleware here
], function () {
// Here you already have a 'subdomain' param in session
// If you need special logic for default domain, you can out it here
Route::group(['prefix' => '/' . $defaultDomain], function () {
Route::get('/', function ($id) {
//
});
});
// Code below will work only with companies.
Route::group(['prefix' => '/{test}.' . $defaultDomain], function () {
Route::get('/', ['as' => '/', 'uses' => 'IndexController#getLogin']);
Route::get('/dashboard', 'HomeController#index')->name('dashboard');
// Config Module
Route::group(['prefix' => 'config', 'as' => 'config.', 'namespace' => 'Config', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::resource('countries', 'ConfigCountriesController');
Route::resource('nationalities', 'ConfigNationalitiesController');
});
// HR Module
Route::group(['prefix' => 'hr', 'as' => 'hr.', 'namespace' => 'Hr', 'middleware' => ['auth']], function () {
Route::resource('designations', 'HrDesignationsController');
Route::resource('departments', 'HrDepartmentsController');
Route::resource('employee_categories', 'HrEmployeeCategoriesController');
});
});
});
And about your middleware. I see it smth like that:
class VerifyDomain
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$request->get('domain_name', $this->getBaseDomain());
$company = Company::where('subdomain', $subdomain)->firstOrFail();
$request->session()->put('subdomain', $company);
return $next($request);
}
// Better to store it in config
protected function getBaseDomain()
{
return config('myconfig.default_domain_name', 'myapp');
}
}
If you really want to use different domains, I think you need in your nginx something like this:
server_name *.myapp myapp;
And of course in your hosts file.
Than you can check it like that:
http://company.myapp
http://company1.myapp
http://myapp
Config example:
Create new file your_project_dir/app/config/myconfig.php (name it as you want)
Put this code in the file:
return [
'default_domain_name' => 'myapp'
];
Now you can use in in youre code as i suggest:
config('myconfig.default_domain_name');
