sharedModel()

Signature

sharedModel() — returns void

Available in: model Category: Multi-Tenancy

Description

Marks this model as shared — it will always use the default application datasource even when a tenant is active. Use this for models like Tenant, Plan, or any lookup table that lives in the central database rather than per-tenant databases.

Examples

// 1. Mark the Tenant model as shared so it always reads from the central database
// models/Tenant.cfc
component extends="Model" {
    function config() {
        sharedModel();
    }
}

// 2. Use sharedModel() for lookup tables that live in the central database,
//    not in per-tenant databases
// models/Plan.cfc
component extends="Model" {
    function config() {
        sharedModel();
        // All finder calls on Plan will use the default application datasource
        // regardless of which tenant is currently active.
    }
}
