Hi All
In an APIM multi-tenanted deployment there might be a requirement for the
tenants to customize the store look and feel. We are hoping to support this
by providing tenants to upload custom themes.
Custom themes can be supported in two levels.
1. CSS based customizations.
- In the first level users are allowed to customize and upload the
style sheets with the supported resources ( images and fonts ).
2. Template base customizations.
- In the second level user will be able to upload a custom caramel
theme with modified templates , CSS , and JavaScript. To implement this we
need to ensure Template files will be executed within a sandbox environment
for security reasons.
Initially we decided to support CSS based theming.
*Implementation*.
1. Tenant user will be given and interface to upload the custom themes.
2. The application would accept a zip file containing CSS , images and
font files.
3. Uploaded themes will be stored in directories having the tenant
name, within the application.
Ex :
Tenants
-- / Tenant1
-- / -- / Theme
-- / Tenant2
-- / -- / Theme
4. When the store is loading If a tenant has a custom theme it would
replace / override the default theme.
*Design Decisions*
1. We decided to store custom themes in a directory considering they
will get synced by dep sync in a clustered setup.
2. If we are storing them in the registry we need to implement caching
when serving those resources.
Please let us know your thoughts.
Thanks
Jo
