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

Innomatic = Innovation + AUTOMATIC
Innomatic handles this for you
Deployment and update tasks are
automatized by Innomatic for each tenant
10Innomatic Platform

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 InnomaticDesktopPanelPanelViews
{
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 InnomaticDesktopPanelPanelActions {
public function __construct(InnomaticDesktopPanelPanelController $controller) {
parent::__construct($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).

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

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>
