Building Multi-Tenant and SaaS products in PHP

What is Innoma,c?

2

First of all: what is NOT Innomatic?

Innomatic is NOT a framework like Laravel or Symfony

– in fact, we are progressively migrating to a system

based on Symfony components!

3

So, what really is Innomatic?

Innomatic is an open source platform for:

developing, deploying and managing

Multi-Tenant and SaaS web applications in PHP

Multi-Tenancy in Innomatic


Innoma4c strategy: Mul,-‐Tenant code + Single Tenant databases

Frustrated Sysadmin/Developer


Innomatic = Innovation + AUTOMATIC

Innomatic handles this for you

Deployment and update tasks are automatized by Innomatic for each tenant


An Innomatic application is a set of components of the types supported by Innomatic or other Innomatic based applications:

•  PHP classes,

•  database tables,

•  catalogues of localization strings,

•  dashboard widgets,

•  desktop UI elements,

•  traybar items,

•  maintenance tasks,

•  etc.

Structure of an Innomatic application


This is the core of Innomatic automation at runtime. Each component type defines the operation to be executed in the following phases:

Innomatic components operations

Innomatic Platform 12

Application: •  Deploy inside Innomatic •  Upgrade •  Undeploy

Tenant: •  Enable component to the tenant •  Upgrade component in the tenant •  Disable component from the

tenant

You can also use Composer for your classes

You can also declare your dependencies to external packages using Composer: you only have to add your composer.json

inside your application package.

Since Innomatic is a platform and you deploy applications at runtime, Innomatic provides a recursive Composers

dependencies feature with multiple composer.json from different Innomatic applications.

Including classes and packages with Composer


Applications may also define their own component types that can be used by other applications.

Extending Component Types


Normally Innomatic desktop applications are built up of various panels which provide an USER INTERFACE inside the Innomatic desktop.

Panels & Panel Groups


Declaring a Panel inside application.xml


<tempdir name="example-basic-app" />

<domaingroup name="examples" catalog="example-basic-app::misc" />

<domaintable name="example_basic_table" file="example_basic_table.xml" />

<domainpanel name="basicapp" catalog="example-basic-app::misc" category="examples" />

<catalog name="example-basic-app" />

<class name="examples/basic/BasicClass.php" />

class BasicappPanelViews extends \Innomatic\Desktop\Panel\PanelViews

{

public function update($observable, $arg = '’) {}

public function beginHelper() {}

public function endHelper() {}

public function viewDefault($eventData)

{

$this->tpl->set(’title', ‘Panel title’);

}

}

Panel views – View code example


class BasicappPanelActions extends \Innomatic\Desktop\Panel\PanelActions {

public function __construct(\Innomatic\Desktop\Panel\PanelController $controller) {

parent::__construct($controller);

}

public function beginHelper() {}

public function endHelper() {}

public function executeDeleteItem($eventData) {

$this->dataAccess->execute(‘DELETE FROM my_items WHERE ID=‘.$eventData[‘id’]);

}

}

Panel actions – Code example


<form> <name>item</name> <args> <action><?=$editAction?></action>

</args> <children> <grid>

<children> <label row="0" col="0" halign="right">

<args> <label><?=$nameLabel?></label>

</args> </label>

<string row="0" col="1"> <name>name</name> <args> <disp>action</disp>

<size>30</size> <value><?=$nameValue?></value> </args> </string>

Web User Interface (WUI)


Web User Interface example


Some Real Life Tenant Applications

Tenant Desktops and Web Apps

Tenants have 2 types of interfaces: Tenant Desktop A web desktop with a standard GUI for backoffice applications accessible via a login panel. e.g. intranet, enterprise applications Web App An interface for external web applications with a chained router e.g. public web sites, extranets The Tenant Desktop and the Web App share the same database and can interact (e.g. you may have a CMS inside the Desktop for managing the Web App content).


Tenant Desktop Dashboard


Some applications built with Innowork: Tasks


Tickets


Kanban


A CMS built with Innomedia CMF- 1/3


Innomedia – 2/3


Innomedia – 3/3


Multi-Tenant deployable web sites with Innomedia An example: Winenot


Winenot SaaS provider: applications


Winenot tenants examples


Winenot tenants with different web site themes


Customizing look for SaaS providers: Desktop Themes


<wuitheme name="flattheme" file="flattheme_wuitheme.ini"

catalog="innomatic::flattheme" />

<wuicolorsset name="flattheme"

file="flattheme_wuicolorsset.ini”


<wuistyle name="flattheme" file="flattheme_wuistyle.ini"


<wuiiconsset name="subway" file="subway_wuiiconsset.ini"


Declaring new themes in application.xml


Customizing look: Saas Provider settings


Simple customization example


Another desktop customization example


Managing Tenants and Applications from the Root Desktop

Managing Tenants


Creating a Tenant


Managing Applications


Enabling an application to a tenant


Updating / Downgrading Applications


You can also do it inside PHP and CLI scripts

Creating a tenant from CLI: php core/scripts/tenant.php create <tenant_name> <description> <admin_password> Deploying an application from CLI: php core/scripts/application.php deploy <application_archive.tgz> Enabling an application to a tenant from CLI: php core/scripts/tenant.php appenable <tenantname> <appname>
