Tenant-aware commands

Even though [tenants:run]({{ $page->link('console-commands#run') }}) lets you run arbitrary artisan commands for tenants, you may want to have strictly tenant commands.

To make a command tenant-aware, utilize the TenantAwareCommand trait:

class MyCommand extends Command
{
    use TenantAwareCommand;
}

However, this trait requires you to implement a getTenants() method that returns an array of Tenant instances.

If you don't want to implement the options/arguments yourself, you may use one of these two traits:

• HasATenantsOption - accepts multiple tenant IDs, optional -- by default the command is executed for all tenants
• HasATenantArgument - accepts a single tenant ID, required argument

These traits implement the getTenants() method needed by TenantAwareCommand.

Note: If you're using a custom constructor for your command, you need to add $this->specifyParameters() at the end for the option/argument traits to take effect.

So if you use these traits in combination with TenantAwareCommand, you won't have to change a thing in your command:

class FooCommand extends Command
{
    use TenantAwareCommand, HasATenantsOption;

    public function handle()
    {
        //
    }
}

class BarCommand extends Command
{
    use TenantAwareCommand, HasATenantArgument;

    public function handle()
    {
        //
    }
}

Custom implementation

If you want more control, you may implement this functionality yourself by simply accepting a tenant_id argument and then inside handle() doing something like this:

tenancy()->find($this->argument('tenant_id'))->run(function () {
    // Your actual command code
});
