Custom Database Names

To set a specific database name for a tenant, set the _tenancy_db_name key in the tenant's storage.

You should do this during the tenant creation process, to make sure the right database name is used during database creation.

use Stancl\Tenancy\Tenant;

Tenant::create('example.com', [
    '_tenancy_db_name' => 'example_com'
])
