Next-gen Elasticsearch driver for Laravel Scout with the power of Elasticsearch's queries.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

```
composer require jeroen-g/explorer
```

You will need the configuration file to define your indexes:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=explorer.config
```

Also do not forget to follow the [installation instructions for Laravel Scout](https://laravel.com/docs/scout#installation), and in your Laravel Scout config, set the driver to `elastic`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Be sure to also have a look at the [docs](docs/index.md) to see what is possible! There is also a [demo app](https://github.com/Jeroen-G/explorer-demo) available that might be insightful.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

You may either define the mapping for you index in the config file:

```
return [
    'indexes' => [
        'posts_index' => [
            'properties' => [
                'id' => 'keyword',
                'title' => 'text',
            ],
        ]
    ]
];
```

Or you may define the model for the index, and the rest will be decided for you:

```
return [
    'indexes' => [
        \App\Models\Post::class
    ],
];
```

In the last case you may implement the `Explored` interface and overwrite the mapping with the `mappableAs()` function.

Essentially this means that it is up to you whether you like having it all together in the model, or separately in the config file.

### Advanced queries

[](#advanced-queries)

The documentation of Laravel Scout states that "more advanced "where" clauses are not currently supported". Only a simple check for ID is possible besides the standard fuzzy term search:

```
$posts = Post::search('lorem ipsum')->get();
```

Explorer expands your possibilities using query builders to write more complex queries.

For example, to get all posts that:

- are published
- have "lorem" somewhere in the document
- have "ipsum" in the title
- maybe have a tag "featured", if so boost its score by 2

You could execute this search query:

```
$posts = Post::search('lorem')
    ->must(new Matching('title', 'ipsum'))
    ->should(new Terms('tags', ['featured'], 2))
    ->filter(new Term('published', true))
    ->get();
```

### Commands

[](#commands)

Be sure you have configured your indexes first in `config/explorer.php` and run the Scout commands.

#### Searching indexes

[](#searching-indexes)

```
php artisan elastic:search "App\Models\Post" lorem
```
