HeroSearch

Laravel Scout elasticsearch driver base on our own needs.

What's hero-search?

Before Carro, it was car hero. Base on that, we named our elastic-scout package as hero search. Hero search is a scout package. We created this for our own needs. Currently, this was mostly inspred via this course. We will keep add the features base on our needs.

Installation

Make sure you have installed elasticsearch

$ composer require carropublic/herosearch

You should publish Scout and ElasticSearch configuration using:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider"
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CarroPublic\HeroSearch\HeroSearchServiceProvider"

Package Configuration

In your .env file, add host and port of your running elasticsearch.

ELASTICSEARCH_HOST=your_elasticsearch_host
ELASTICSEARCH_PORT=your_elasticsearch_port

# This prefix will be used to append before the index name
# To separate environement when sharing ES instance
ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_PREFIX=prefix

Update scout driver to elasticsearch as well.

SCOUT_DRIVER=elasticsearch

Usage example

Use scout Searchable trait in your model

<?php

namespace App;

use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;

class User extends Model
{
    use Searchable;
    ...
}

Need to add index for your model that is needed to use scout searching

$ php artisan hero-search:elasticsearch:create path_to_your_model(Eg. App\\User)

Then import the records

$ php artisan scout:import path_to_your_model(Eg. App\\User)

You can also remove imported data by flush command:

$ php artisn scout:flush path_to_your_model(Eg. App\\User)

Add searchableFields methods in model to identify your query must be serached in which fields. Eg:

public function searchableFields()
{
    return [
        'name',
        'email'
    ];
}

Then can search by using:

Model::search($query)

Eg:

User::search('foo');
