[](#php-handler-to-connect-to-aws-elasticsearch-service) #### Installation [](#installation) Use composer to install. Simply add `"sportarchive/aws-elasticsearch-php-handler": "dev-master"` to your composer requirements and update. #### Instructions [](#instructions) ##### Use basic lucene query syntax to query for results. You can also supply a max count and sort order in the query. [](#use-basic-lucene-query-syntax-to-query-for-results-you-can-also-supply-a-max-count-and-sort-order-in-the-query) ``` $client = new ElasticsearchHandler(["https://yourawselasticsearchendpoint.aws-region.es.amazonaws.com:443"]); $ESindex = "index_name"; $EStype = "object_type"; $query = "key:value AND foo:bar"; $count = 12; $sort = "anotherkey:asc"; $results = $client->raw($ESindex, $query, $count, $sort, $EStype); ``` The count, sort, and type are not required. If they are not supplied, these values will default to: ``` $count = 10; $sort = ""; $EStype = $ESindex; ``` The `$results` variable will be the raw data returned from the elasticsearch official php library, and includes a variety of metadata. ##### If you only need the source objects that were stored, use the convenience function `query` instead. [](#if-you-only-need-the-source-objects-that-were-stored-use-the-convenience-function-query-instead) ``` $results = $client->query($ESindex, $query, $count, $sort, $EStype); ``` The `$results` variable will now be an array containing the source objects for your query. Query simply parses the data before returning to make it easier to use. ##### If you wish to simply get the count for the total number of results, there is also a count function. [](#if-you-wish-to-simply-get-the-count-for-the-total-number-of-results-there-is-also-a-count-function) ``` $client = new ElasticsearchHandler(["https://yourawselasticsearchendpoint.aws-region.es.amazonaws.com:443"]); $ESindex = "index_name"; $EStype = "object_type"; $query = "key:value AND foo:bar"; $results = $client->raw($ESindex, $query, $EStype); ``` This function acts the same way as `raw` and `query`, but instead uses Elasticsearch's `search_type:count` so it does not actually retrieve or return the data. ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance56 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
