This package can make a Laravel app tenant aware. The philosophy of this package is that it should only provide the bare essentials to enable multitenancy.

The package can determine which tenant should be the current tenant for the request. It also allows you to define what should happen when making a tenant the current one. It works for multitenancy projects that need to use one or multiple databases.

Before starting with the package, we highly recommend first watching [this talk by Tom Schlick on multitenancy strategies](https://tomschlick.com/2017/07/25/laracon-2017-multi-tenancy-talk/).

The package contains a lot of niceties such as making queued jobs tenant aware, making an artisan command run for each tenant, an easy way to set a connection on a model, and much more.
