Spree supports multi-store scenarios out of the box. The apartment gem, which this gem depends on is not maintained anymore, hence we won't maintain and support this gem anymore.

Multiple stores using a single Spree application instance.

Uses request subdomain to swap database, Rails cache (preferences), image paths.

1. Add to your Gemfile:

   gem 'spree_shared', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_shared', branch: 'master'

   Make sure your config/database.yml has valid db connection.

2. Create config/initializers/apartment.rbwith the following command:

   bundle exec rails generate apartment:install

3. Search for following line inside config/initializers/apartment.rb:

     config.tenant_names = lambda { ToDo_Tenant_Or_User_Model.pluck :database }

   And change it to include two sample subdomains:

     config.tenant_names = %w(store1 store2)

4. Bootstrap sample stores:

   bundle exec rake spree_shared:bootstrap['store1']
   bundle exec rake spree_shared:bootstrap['store2']

5. Setup local subdomains for sample stores, as spree_shared uses by default subdomain routing you need to confirm some local domains such as:

   store1.spree.dev store2.spree.dev

   This can be done using Pow or editing your local /etc/hosts file.

6. Set namespace for cache engine in development.rb and/or production.rb

   config.cache_store = :memory_store, { namespace: -> { Apartment::Tenant.current } }

If you'd like to set preferences for every store you can do so in your config/initializers/spree.rb initializer by iterating over each store, and then setting it's preference. Since this is multi-tenant with each store having their own database the usual Spree.config block can't be used as it only sets the preference for a single database.

Here is an example:

require 'spree_shared/tenant_decorator'

Apartment::Tenant.each do |tenant_name| # also each_with_default available
  Spree::Config.auto_capture = true
rescue
  puts "  Failed to set up config for store '#{tenant_name}'"
end
