Installation and Configuration

Install the cviebrock/laravel-elasticsearch package via composer:

composer require cviebrock/laravel-elasticsearch

Laravel

Add the service provider and facade to config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Cviebrock\LaravelElasticsearch\ServiceProvider::class,   
]

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Elasticsearch' => Cviebrock\LaravelElasticsearch\Facade::class,
]

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cviebrock\LaravelElasticsearch\ServiceProvider"

Lumen

If you work with Lumen, please register the LumenServiceProvider in bootstrap/app.php:

$app->register(Cviebrock\LaravelElasticsearch\LumenServiceProvider::class);

And manually copy the configuration file to your application.

Usage

The Elasticsearch facade is just an entry point into the ES client, so previously you might have used:

$data = [
    'body' => [
        'testField' => 'abc'
    ],
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'type' => 'my_type',
    'id' => 'my_id',
];

$client = ClientBuilder::create()->build();
$return = $client->index($data);

You can now replace those last two lines with simply:

$return = Elasticsearch::index($data);

That will run the command on the default connection. You can run a command on any connection (see the defaultConnection setting and connections array in the configuration file).

$return = Elasticsearch::connection('connectionName')->index($data);

Please be noticed that you should not use Facade in Lumen. So, in Lumen - you should use IoC or get the ElasticSearch service object from the application.

$elasticSearch = $this->app('elasticsearch');
