In a previous blog we have discussed a few essential things about SWOT Analysis. Let's move further with How to do SWOT Analysis and How to use SWOT Analysis.

How to Do a SWOT Analysis

Before starting anything first draw up an Analysis Matrix. You can use a ready-made template. It’s a 2*2 grid, which represents four aspects of SWOT.

Specify your Objective why you are going to do SWOT Analysis Create a grid and divide it into four-part Label each box with a name for instance - Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, threat Add strength and weaknesses inappropriate part of the Matrix Gather the right people from different parts of your organization and make sure each will represent a specific department or team. Allow all to throw the ideas at the wall. After receiving ideas from your people, Organize ideas and then rank them. A voting system would be helpful to choose the best ideas. Based on the voting, prioritized list of ideas. The list is now up for discussion and debate.

The Helpful questions which inspire your Analysis

Web browser, is the most used application or portal for users to access the Internet. These browsers are very advanced, with improved usability and ubiquity. The individual is exposed to different internet browsers. Each of them consists of some perceived and real benefits. However, it is also true that none of them are safe from security threats. In fact, website browsers are more vulnerable to security vulnerabilities and when users interact with websites, they carry the possibilities of malware and other threats in them.

Mainly, 5 most common browser security threats and how to protect your system

With that in mind, here are some of the most common browser security threats and how to protect your system from them are follow below:

1. Removing Saved Login Credentials

Bookmarks associated with saved logins for linked sites is a terrible combination and doesn't really favor your system. When this is done, a hacker with little knowledge can hack it. There are some websites that use two-factor authentication, such as sending OTPs to your mobile phone to access them. However, many of them use this as a one-time access token so that a person can confirm his or her identity on the system they are intended to connect from. Deleting saved credentials is not good for your browser as well as for your system in general. Cybercriminals A can easily reset important identifiers and profiles on almost every website you visit. They can do this from anywhere and at any time. Once they have your IDs and passwords, they can run them from any system of their choice.

2. Permission to Browser History

Your browser's browsing history is a type of map or mechanism that keeps track of what you're doing and what sites you're visiting. It not only tells us which sites you visited, but for how long and when as well. If a criminal wants to get your credentials from the sites you access, they can do so easily, knowing which sites you have accessed through your browsing history.

3. Cookies

Cookies made up of locally stored files that identify association with certain files are another common browser security threat. Similar to browsing history, it can also track the site you visit and get credentials.

4. Browser Cache

Browser cache consists of storing sections of website pages which makes accessing and loading sites easier and faster, every time you visit. This can also identify the site or portal you have accessed and the content you have gone through. It also saves your location and device detection, making it a risky item as anyone can identify your location and device.

5. Autofill Information

Autofill information can pose a huge threat to your browser. Browsers like Chrome and Firefox store your address information, sometimes your profile information, and other personal information. But are you prepared if you fall into the wrong hands? Isn't it? Well, the criminal is now aware of and privacy to all your personal details.

In our next tutorial, will see Tips and Recommendations on How You Can Protect Yourself from These Threats.

In this blog, we will learn how to use clip-path and also cover inset(), polygon(), circle(), and ellipse() method .

What is CSS Clip-path?

Clip-path is a CSS property that creates a clipping field that sets which part of a component should be shown and which other parts are hidden. The inside of the clipped area is shown, while the outside is hidden.

CSS Property clip-path creates shapes by clipping an element. It clips some regions of an element to create new shapes. The most used method for clip-path is polygon(), circle(), and ellipse().

CSS clip-path() accepted values

These shapes can be created using basic shape functions. The basic shape functions are listed below:-

• inset()
• polygon()
• circle()
• ellipse()

inset()

The inset () function allows you to clip a component from around the coordinate system. The result is a visible rectangle. you can assign values to the margin or padding and border-radius property. but two values are limited in rounded corners. The first value is assigned to the top left corner and the bottom right corner and the second value is assigned to the top right corner and the bottom left corner.

polygon()

To design or clip the rectangular parts of the viewport, we use the polygon () method. Polygon is the most commonly used method in clip-path. We can construct any shape using the polygon method.

Example

circle()

The below image is created by using the clip-path method circle(50% at 50% 50%). In the circle(val1 at var2 var3), val1 is the size of the radius of the circle, and val2 and val3 are the positions of the center. val2 represents the position of the center from the left of the viewport, val2 represents the position of the center from the top of the viewport.

ellipse()

Below image is created using clip-path method ellipse(25% 40% at 50% 50%). An ellipse(val1 val2 at val3 val4) val1 and val2 are the horizontal and vertical distance from the center. val3 and val4 is the position of center.

I recommend you visit this link to play with the clip-path CSS property. You will see different types of shapes from this link. It's an imaginative place. You can customize your shape.

Nowadays multi-tenant applications are more useful than single-tenant applications. We can use multi-tenant with multiple databases or single databases as per our need. But it's better to use a single DB with a multi-tenant when you have a small application.

In this tutorial, we are going to use multi-tenant with a single database.

We will implement multi-tenant with single DB by using the following package: https://github.com/archtechx/tenancy

Assuming you already have Laravel 8 repo setup. Now please follow the given steps to implement multi-tenancy with a single DB.

Package Installation

Run following commands :

1. composer require stancl/tenancy

2. php artisan tenancy:install

3. php artisan migrate

Add following service provider to config/app.php

App\Providers\TenancyServiceProvider::class

Create Custom Model

Now create modal named MultiTenant into app\Models

MultiTenant.php

 SavingTenant::class,
        'saved'    => TenantSaved::class,
        'creating' => CreatingTenant::class,
        //        'created' => TenantCreated::class,
        'updating' => UpdatingTenant::class,
        'updated'  => TenantUpdated::class,
        'deleting' => DeletingTenant::class,
        'deleted'  => TenantDeleted::class,
    ];
}

Update Tenancy Configuration

As we have added custom model we also need to define that model into config/tenancy.php

Please change tenant_model value to our custom model.

'tenant_model' => \App\Models\MultiTenant::class,

Add Resolver

To use multi tenant with single DB we also need to add our customer resolver, that will be used into Middlewares that we will create ahead.

Create MultiTenantResolver into app\Resolvers

App\Resolvers\MultiTenantResolver.php

find(Auth::user()->tenant_id)) {
            return $tenant;
        }

        throw new TenantCouldNotBeIdentifiedByPathException($id);
    }

    public function getArgsForTenant(Tenant $tenant): array
    {
        return [
            [$tenant->id],
        ];
    }
}

Add Middleware

We will create our custom middleware that will set the current tenant into cache, and that will used by package to fire default query where('tenant_id', "tenant id we have set into middleware")

App\Http\Middleware\MultiTenantMiddleware.php

tenancy = $tenancy;
        $this->resolver = $resolver;
    }

    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        $tenant = Auth::user()->tenant_id;

        return $this->initializeTenancy(
            $request, $next, $tenant
        );
    }
}

Also, don't forget to add middleware alias into App\Http\kernel.php

 protected $routeMiddleware = [
        ..............
        'multi_tenant' => MultiTenantMiddleware::class,
];

Now we will apply this multi_tenant middleware to our routes.

Add Trait to tenant-specific models

We have to add BelongsToTenant trait to all of our tenant-specific models.

Say if we want to add tenant_id into the users table then we must have to add BelongsToTenant to the app\Models\User model.

That trait will by default add following query everytime when we will try to fetch records or update records.

Where('tenant_id', 'tenant id will taken from cache')

Add tenant_id to tenant-specific migrations

As we have added the tenant trait, we must have to add tenant_id into tenant-specific migrations as specified below.

public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            ...........................

            $table->string('tenant_id');

            $table->foreign('tenant_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('tenants')
                ->onUpdate('cascade')
                ->onDelete('cascade');

            $table->timestamps();
        });

Update TenancyServiceProvider

Replace the App\Providers\TenactServiceProvider by the following code.

 [],
            Events\TenantCreated::class => [
                JobPipeline::make([
                    Jobs\CreateDatabase::class,
                    Jobs\MigrateDatabase::class,
                    // Jobs\SeedDatabase::class,

                    // Your own jobs to prepare the tenant.
                    // Provision API keys, create S3 buckets, anything you want!

                ])->send(function (Events\TenantCreated $event) {
                    return $event->tenant;
                })->shouldBeQueued(false), // `false` by default, but you probably want to make this `true` for production.
            ],

                    return $event->tenant;
                })->shouldBeQueued(false), // `false` by default, but you probably want to make this `true` for production.
            ],

            // Domain events

            Events\DomainCreated::class => [],

            Events\DatabaseSeeded::class => [],
            Events\DatabaseRolledBack::class => [],
            Events\DatabaseDeleted::class => [],

            // Tenancy events
            Events\InitializingTenancy::class => [],
            Events\TenancyInitialized::class => [

            ],

            Events\EndingTenancy::class => [],
            Events\TenancyEnded::class => [
                Listeners\RevertToCentralContext::class,

            Events\RevertedToCentralContext::class => [],

            // Resource syncing
            Events\SyncedResourceSaved::class => [
                Listeners\UpdateSyncedResource::class,
            ],

            // Fired only when a synced resource is changed in a different DB than the origin DB (to avoid infinite loops)
            Events\SyncedResourceChangedInForeignDatabase::class => [],
        ];
    }

    public function register()
    {
        //
    }

    public function boot()
    {
        $this->bootEvents();
//        $this->mapRoutes();

        $this->makeTenancyMiddlewareHighestPriority();
    }

    protected function bootEvents()
    {
        foreach ($this->events() as $event => $listeners) {
            foreach (array_unique($listeners) as $listener) {
                if ($listener instanceof JobPipeline) {
                    $listener = $listener->toListener();
                }

                Event::listen($event, $listener);
            }
        }
    }

    protected function mapRoutes()
    {
        if (file_exists(base_path('routes/tenant.php'))) {
            Route::namespace(static::$controllerNamespace)
                ->group(base_path('routes/tenant.php'));
        }
    }

    protected function makeTenancyMiddlewareHighestPriority()
    {
        $tenancyMiddleware = [
            // Even higher priority than the initialization middleware
            Middleware\PreventAccessFromCentralDomains::class,

            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByDomain::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyBySubdomain::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByDomainOrSubdomain::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByPath::class,
            Middleware\InitializeTenancyByRequestData::class,
        ];

        foreach (array_reverse($tenancyMiddleware) as $middleware) {
            $this->app[\Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class]->prependToMiddlewarePriority($middleware);
        }
    }
}

Create / Fetch Tenant

Now we have to create a tenant and give that tenant_id to related users.

each user contains their specific tenant_id.

Use the following code to create a tenant :

 $tenant1 = \App\Models\MultiTenant::create([
     'name' => 'Tenant 1'
 ]);

 $tenant2 = \App\Models\MultiTenant::create([
     'name' => 'Tenant 2'
  ]);

That will create tenant into tenants table and values will be stored into data column as a son.

$tenant1 = App\Models\MultiTenant::where('data->name', 'Tenant 1')->first();

$tenant2 = App\Models\MultiTenant::where('data->name', 'Tenant 2')->first();

$tenant1User = User::where('id', 'user id here')->update(['tenant_id' => $tenant1->id]);

$tenant2User = User::where('id', 'user id here')->update(['tenant_id' => $tenant2->id]);

Now we have 2 tenants with 2 separate users who contain separate tenant ids.

Add Middleware to Routes

Now do login with User 1 and try to fetch all users from the database, it will return users of logged-in users' tenants only.

As we have the BelongToTenant trait into the User model.

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth', 'multi_tenant']], function () { Route::get('users', function() {

 // only tenant-1 users will be returned because we are setting the logged-in user tenant into the cache from `multi_tenant`middleware.
 $allUsers = User::all();
});

});

You can use the same for other models too.

Hope this helps you.
