9.0.0 (2024-11-13)

Features

• add multitenant db factory method (#896) (8728447)
• better tenant resolution events (#897) (956ca36)
• dotnet 9 support (#893) (4be1b88)
• make builds deterministic and set latest GH actions (#889) (d82f89d)

BREAKING CHANGES

• OnTenantResolved and OnTenantNotResolved are no longer used. Use the OnStrategyResolveCompleted, OnStoreResolveCompleted, and OnTenantResolveCompleted events instead.
• MultiTenantDbContext constructors accepting ITenantInfo removed, use MultiTenantDbContext.Create factory method
• MultiTenantDbContext constructors accepting ITenantInfo removed, use MultiTenantDbContext .Create factory method instead
• net6.0 and net7.0 are no longer supported targets.
• dotnet runtime specific dependencies now float to the latest patch version and are locked at release time with a NuGet lock file. This is a security mitigation and may break some builds not on the latest SDKs.

Quick Start

Finbuckle.MultiTenant is designed to be easy to use and follows standard .NET conventions as much as possible. This introduction assumes a standard ASP.NET Core use case, but any application using .NET dependency injection can work with the library.

Installation

First, install the Finbuckle.MultiTenant.AspNetCore NuGet package:

.NET Core CLI

$ dotnet add package Finbuckle.MultiTenant.AspNetCore

Basic Configuration

Next, in the app's service configuration call AddMultiTenant<TTenantInfo> and its various builder methods and in the middleware configuration call UseMultiTenant():

builder.Services.AddMultiTenant<TenantInfo>()
    .WithHostStrategy()
    .WithConfigurationStore();

// other app code...

app.UseMultiTenant();

// other app code...

app.Run();

That's all that is needed to get going. Let's breakdown each line:

builder.Services.AddMultiTenant<TenantInfo>()

This line registers the base services and designates TenantInfo as the class that will hold tenant information at runtime.

The type parameter for AddMultiTenant<TTenantInfo> must be an implementation of ITenantInfo which holds basic information about the tenant such as its name and an identifier. TenantInfo is provided as a basic implementation, but a custom implementation can be used if more properties are needed.

See Core Concepts for more information on ITenantInfo.

.WithHostStrategy()

The line tells the app that our "strategy" to determine the request tenant will be to look at the request host, which defaults to the extracting the subdomain as a tenant identifier.

See MultiTenant Strategies for more information.

.WithConfigurationStore()

This line tells the app that information for all tenants are in the appsettings.json file used for app configuration. If a tenant in the store has the identifier found by the strategy, the tenant will be successfully resolved for the current request.

See MultiTenant Stores for more information.

Finbuckle.MultiTenant comes with a collection of strategies and store types that can be mixed and matched in various ways.

app.UseMultiTenant()

This line configures the middleware which resolves the tenant using the registered strategies, stores, and other settings. Be sure to call it before other middleware which will use per-tenant functionality, e.g. UseAuthentication().

Basic Usage

With the services and middleware configured, access information for the current tenant from the TenantInfo property on the MultiTenantContext<T> object accessed from the GetMultiTenantContext<T> extension method:

var tenantInfo = HttpContext.GetMultiTenantContext<TenantInfo>().TenantInfo;

if(tenantInfo != null)
{
    var tenantId = tenantInfo.Id;
    var identifier = tenantInfo.Identifier;
    var name = tenantInfo.Name;
}

The type of the TenantInfo property depends on the type passed when calling AddMultiTenant<T> during configuration. If the current tenant could not be determined then TenantInfo will be null.

The ITenantInfo instance and/or the typed instance are also available directly through dependency injection.

See Configuration and Usage for more information.

Documentation

The library builds on this basic functionality to provide a variety of higher level features. See the documentation for more details:

• Per-tenant Options
• Per-tenant Authentication
• Entity Framework Core Data Isolation
• ASP.NET Core Identity Data Isolation

Sample Projects

A variety of sample projects are available in the repository. Check older tagged release commits for samples from prior .NET versions.
