1. Configure config/application.rb for Subdomain Handling:


# config/application.rb
module YourAppName
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.middleware.use SubdomainMiddleware
    # ... other configurations
  end
end

2. Create a Custom Subdomain Middleware (lib/subdomain_middleware.rb):

Create a new file for your custom subdomain middleware and define it as follows:

# lib/subdomain_middleware.rb
class SubdomainMiddleware
  def initialize(app)
    @app = app
  end

  def call(env)
    request = ActionDispatch::Request.new(env)
    subdomain = request.subdomain

    if subdomain.present?
      tenant = find_tenant_by_subdomain(subdomain)

      if tenant
        # You can put your logic here to switch users to their subdomain URLs
        # For example, you can redirect or route them to the appropriate controllers and views
        case subdomain
        when tenant.subdomain
          env['HTTP_HOST'] = "#{tenant.subdomain}.yourapp.com"
          env['PATH_INFO'] = '/' # Change the path as needed
        end
      else
        # Handle invalid subdomains or show an error page
        return [404, { 'Content-Type' => 'text/html' }, ['Invalid subdomain']]
      end
    else
      # Redirect to the root URL when no subdomain is present
      return [302, { 'Location' => 'https://yourapp.com' }, []]
    end

    @app.call(env)
  end

  def find_tenant_by_subdomain(subdomain)
    # Look up the tenant in the database table 'tenants' based on the subdomain
    # Modify this logic according to your actual table and column names
    Tenant.find_by(subdomain: subdomain)
  end
end


In this modified middleware, the find_tenant_by_subdomain method searches the tenants table in the database to find a matching tenant based on the subdomain.

3. Configure config/routes.rb for Subdomain Routing:

In your config/routes.rb file, you can set up routing for different subdomains. Here's an example:

ruby
Copy code
# config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  # Define routes for the "public" site
  root 'public#index'
  # ... other public routes

  constraints(SubdomainConstraint.new) do
    # Define routes for tenant-specific subdomains
    root 'tenant#index'
    # ... other tenant-specific routes
  end
end
4. Create a Subdomain Constraint (lib/subdomain_constraint.rb):

Create a SubdomainConstraint class to handle routing based on subdomains:

ruby
Copy code
# lib/subdomain_constraint.rb
class SubdomainConstraint
  def initialize
    @tenants = Tenant.pluck(:subdomain) # Retrieve all subdomains from the 'tenants' table
  end

  def matches?(request)
    subdomain = request.subdomain
    @tenants.include?(subdomain)
  end
end
In this example, the SubdomainConstraint class retrieves all subdomains from the tenants table and uses them for routing. You should adjust the table and column names according to your database schema.

5. Define Controllers and Views:

You should create separate controllers and views for the public site and tenant-specific sites as needed.

Remember to update your routes, controllers, and views according to your application's requirements. This setup allows you to handle subdomains and route users to their subdomain-specific content based on the subdomain they access by searching for tenants in the database table.
