Hi guys, I am creating a new project where I work with subdomains, I route them dynamically e.g. user1.myapp.com but how can I pass the subdomain (user1) to a variable where I can access globally? For example to retrieve the categories in the Category model I need the user_id which I can get from the subdomain (user1). Can anyone help me to understand how to solve this issue or what's the best practise? Thanks

Are you using the built in subdomain routing? https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/routing#route-group-sub-domain-routing
If you look at the example it uses a route group and you set the key {account} for your subdomain. Then any controller in the route group can accept the $account variable in its controller methods like so:
CategoryController.php
public function index($account)
{
// database query to find user based on $account subdomain
}
Yes I am using the built in routing... So I have to find the account_id everytime with from the $account (subdomain) and then find the categories or whatever with this $account_id, right? Or can I make global var $account_id in the router?
Thanks Regards, Alex
You can also bind a custom route pattern in routeserviceprovider.php which will find your account and return the account model to be used in your controllers.
Can u please give me an example? I would like to create a global variable from subdomain with account_id and create a global scope in the model for account_id = $account_id
Thanks
