### Preamble

[](#preamble)

I need to improve search. Currently using mongob, 2dspheres etc.

Bring on Elasticsearch. Basically just a wrapper for the offical client.

##### Afternoon hack

[](#afternoon-hack)

- Trying to put togeter a nice package so we can use ElasticSearch easily
- Should play well with league/fractal
- Should play well with illuminate/collections
- Should play well with fractal/item
- Should play well with fractal/resources
- etc..

### Install via Composer

[](#install-via-composer)

```
require : {
	"almeida/laravel-elasticsearch" : "dev-master"
}

```

### Step 1

[](#step-1)

Extend the abstract `ElasticDocument` so you get some easy CRUD.

Let's assume we are working with movies.

```
/**
 * Acme\Search\MovieDocument
 */
class MovieDocument extends \Almeida\LaravelElasticSearch\ElasticDocumentAbstract
{
	protected $index = 'movie_cluster';

	protected $type = 'movies';

	public function setId($movie) {
		return $movie->id;
	}

}
```

### Creating / Updating an index

[](#creating--updating-an-index)

Create an index.

Assuming you have already a working `fractal/transformer`

```
	$options = [];
	$options['transformer'] = 'Acme\MovieTransformer';

	$document = new \Acme\Search\MovieDocument($options);
	$document->setBody($movie);
	$document->index();
	// or $document->create();
	// or $document->update();

	// OR
	$document = new \Acme\Search\MovieDocument();
	$document->setBody($movie);
	$document->setTransformer('Acme\MovieTransformer');
	$document->index();
```

### Deleting an index (@todo)

[](#deleting-an-index-todo)

Deleting an index.

```
	$document = new \Acme\Search\MovieDocument();
	$document->delete($movie->id);
```

### Indexing en masse in the Console

[](#indexing-en-masse-in-the-console)

```
	$n = 0;

	Movie::chunk(100, function($movies) use(&$n) {

		foreach ($movies as $i => $movie) {

			$document = new \Acme\Search\MovieDocument();
			$document->setBody($movie);
			$document->setTransformer('Acme\MovieTransformer');
			$document->index();

			$this->info("Indexed : {$movie->title}");

			$n++;
		}
	});

	$this->info("Indexed [{$n}] movies");
```

#### Searching (WIP)

[](#searching-wip)

Promise to work on it over the next few days.

```
	$movieTitle = 'Scarface';
	$document->basicSearch($movieTitle);
```

### Todo

[](#todo)

- think about this more
- Move search, stats, and aggerates to Traits so we only use them on applicable documents

GOTCHAS
-------

[](#gotchas)

Deving locally on OSX i couldnt get the client to connect to elasticsearch even though i could access it in the browser at

This fixed it for now...

-

The correct way to access is actually through,

Will work it out when i sort out nicer config etc.
