   Custom Subdomains in Rails 3

    

   Rails 3 supports subdomains out of the box, which is great. But did you know that the constraints in the Router can actually match patterns too? This means instead of hardcoding each subdomain into your routes you can allow your customers to decide their own subdomains.

   However, we have to be careful with pattern matching on the subdomain. There are obvious subdomains we don’t want to match. Like ‘www’, ”, nil, and others that we may reserve. In this case using a pattern match might not be best.

   Thankfully the Rails 3 Router constraints can also take objects. As long as the object responds to Object.matches?. The request is passed to the method and you can act on it in any way. The following is the solution that I’ve found works for me.

   I created a ‘lib/sub_domain.rb’ with the following code:

   # lib/sub_domain.rb
   class SubDomain
     def self.matches?(request)
       case request.subdomain
       when 'www', '', nil
         false
       else
         true
       end
     end
   end
   

   In my routes.rb file I can now wrap all routes I want under a custom subdomain

   # config/routes.rb
   TestApp::Application.routes.draw do |map|
     constraints(SubDomain) do
       root :to => "customers#index"
     end
     
     root :to => "home#index"
   end
   

   Finally, I create a SubDomainController from which all controllers under the subdomain constraint can inherit from

   # app/controllers/sub_domain_controller.rb
   class SubDomainController < ApplicationController
     before_filter :get_customer_from_subdomain
     
     private
     
     def get_customer_from_subdomain
       @customer = Customer.find_by_subdomain!(request.subdomain)
     end
   end
   

   # app/controllers/customers_controller.rb
   class CustomersController < SubDomainController
     def index
       ...
     end
   end
   

   Having the SubDomainController is a nice way for me to encapsulate behavior that I want every subdomain to have. One such idea would be customer specific layouts. (or themes)

   Check out Phil McClure’s post on localhost subdomains if you want to use this functionality in your development and test environments.

   Update

   To link to your dynamic subdomains you can completely overwrite the :host option in the url helper:

   root_url(nil, {:host => "subdomain.somedomain.com"})
   

   This is not ideal. It constrains us to this particular domain. What we need is to be able to pass a :subdomain option to the url helper. (btw, you need to use the url helpers for linking to subdomains and not the path helpers)

   So I quickly wrote up this code. Just add it to your ApplicationController and it will be available to your entire app:

   class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
     ...
     private
     
     # To write subdomains on the url helpers:
     # root_url(nil, {:subdomain => "subdomain"})
     def url_for(options = nil)
       case options
       when Hash
         if subdomain = options.delete(:subdomain)
           if request.subdomain.empty?
             options[:host] = "#{subdomain}.#{request.host_with_port}"
           else
             options[:host] = request.host_with_port.sub(request.subdomain, subdomain)
           end
         end
       end
       super
     end
   end
   

   So now you can do:

   root_url(nil, {:subdomain => "subdomain"})

  A tip for people trying to use the url_for method...
  
  Adding that method to the ApplicationController will only allow subdomains to be used in your controllers. If you want to do the same in your views then you'll need to add:
  
  helper_method :url_for
  
  to your ApplicationController as well.
