Multi-tenancy rails application issues

[thattimc]

Hi, we are building out a multi-tenancy web app which requires adding the account_id field on read_mark table. We would love to use unread gem and is it possible to allow us for insert the custom field via code?

First, add the account_id field to the ReadMark table:

class AddAccountIdToReadMarks < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.1]
  def change
    add_column :read_marks, :account_id, :integer
  end
end

The, add an initializer to your app and include your custom code like this:

class ReadMark
  belongs_to :account

  before_save do |read_mark|
    read_mark.account_id ||= read_mark.reader.account_id # or get the account_id from elsewhere...
  end  
end
