Laravel-Elasticsearch
An Elasticsearch implementation of Laravel's Eloquent ORM

The Power of Elasticsearch with Laravel's Eloquent

This package extends Laravel's Eloquent model and query builder with seamless integration of Elasticsearch functionalities. Designed to feel native to Laravel, this package enables you to work with Eloquent models while leveraging the powerful search and analytics capabilities of Elasticsearch.

The Eloquent you already know:

UserLog::where('created_at','>=',Carbon::now()->subDays(30))->get();

UserLog::create([
    'user_id' => '2936adb0-b10d-11ed-8e03-0b234bda3e12',
    'ip' => '62.182.98.146',
    'location' => [40.7185,-74.0025],
    'country_code' => 'US',
    'status' => 1,
]);

UserLog::where('status', 1)->update(['status' => 4]);

UserLog::where('status', 4)->orderByDesc('created_at')->paginate(50);

UserProfile::whereIn('country_code',['US','CA'])
    ->orderByDesc('last_login')->take(10)->get();

UserProfile::where('state','unsubscribed')
    ->where('updated_at','<=',Carbon::now()->subDays(90))->delete();

Elasticsearch with Eloquent:

UserProfile::searchTerm('Laravel')->orSearchTerm('Elasticsearch')->get();

UserProfile::searchPhrasePrefix('loves espressos and t')->highlight()->get();

UserProfile::whereMatch('bio', 'PHP')->get();

UserLog::whereGeoDistance('location', '10km', [40.7185,-74.0025])->get();

UserProfile::whereFuzzy('description', 'qick brwn fx')->get();

Built in Relationships (even to SQL models):

UserLog::where('status', 1)->orderByDesc('created_at')->with('user')->get();

Configuration

1. Set up your .env with the following Elasticsearch settings:

ES_AUTH_TYPE=http
ES_HOSTS="http://localhost:9200"
ES_USERNAME=
ES_PASSWORD=
ES_CLOUD_ID=
ES_API_ID=
ES_API_KEY=
ES_SSL_CA=
ES_INDEX_PREFIX=my_app_
# prefix will be added to all indexes created by the package with an underscore
# ex: my_app_user_logs for UserLog model
ES_SSL_CERT=
ES_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD=
ES_SSL_KEY=
ES_SSL_KEY_PASSWORD=
# Options
ES_OPT_ID_SORTABLE=false
ES_OPT_VERIFY_SSL=true
ES_OPT_RETRIES=
ES_OPT_META_HEADERS=true
ES_ERROR_INDEX=
ES_OPT_BYPASS_MAP_VALIDATION=false
ES_OPT_DEFAULT_LIMIT=1000

For multiple nodes, pass in as comma-separated:

ES_HOSTS="http://es01:9200,http://es02:9200,http://es03:9200"

ES_AUTH_TYPE=cloud
ES_HOSTS="https://xxxxx-xxxxxx.es.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243"
ES_USERNAME=elastic
ES_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
ES_CLOUD_ID=XXXXX:ZXVyb3BlLXdl.........SQwYzM1YzU5ODI5MTE0NjQ3YmEyNDZlYWUzOGNkN2Q1Yg==
ES_API_ID=
ES_API_KEY=
ES_SSL_CA=
ES_INDEX_PREFIX=my_app_
ES_ERROR_INDEX=

2. In config/database.php, add the elasticsearch connection:

'elasticsearch' => [
    'driver' => 'elasticsearch',
    'auth_type' => env('ES_AUTH_TYPE', 'http'), //http or cloud
    'hosts' => explode(',', env('ES_HOSTS', 'http://localhost:9200')),
    'username' => env('ES_USERNAME', ''),
    'password' => env('ES_PASSWORD', ''),
    'cloud_id' => env('ES_CLOUD_ID', ''),
    'api_id' => env('ES_API_ID', ''),
    'api_key' => env('ES_API_KEY', ''),
    'ssl_cert' => env('ES_SSL_CA', ''),
    'ssl' => [
        'cert' => env('ES_SSL_CERT', ''),
        'cert_password' => env('ES_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD', ''),
        'key' => env('ES_SSL_KEY', ''),
        'key_password' => env('ES_SSL_KEY_PASSWORD', ''),
    ],
    'index_prefix' => env('ES_INDEX_PREFIX', false),
    'options' => [
        'bypass_map_validation' => env('ES_OPT_BYPASS_MAP_VALIDATION', false),
        'logging' => env('ES_OPT_LOGGING', false),
        'ssl_verification' => env('ES_OPT_VERIFY_SSL', true),
        'retires' => env('ES_OPT_RETRIES', null),
        'meta_header' => env('ES_OPT_META_HEADERS', true),
        'default_limit' => env('ES_OPT_DEFAULT_LIMIT', 1000),
        'allow_id_sort' => env('ES_OPT_ID_SORTABLE', false),
    ],
],

3. If packages are not autoloaded, add the service provider:

For Laravel 11 +:

//bootstrap/providers.php
<?php
return [
    App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
    PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\ElasticServiceProvider::class,
];

For Laravel 10 and below:

//config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    ...
    PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\ElasticServiceProvider::class,
    ...

Now, you're all set to use Elasticsearch with Laravel as if it were native to the framework.
