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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require pmatseykanets/laravel-scout-postgres
```

### Laravel

[](#laravel)

If you're using Laravel < 5.5 or if you have package auto-discovery turned off you have to manually register the service provider:

```
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    ScoutEngines\Postgres\PostgresEngineServiceProvider::class,
],
```

### Lumen

[](#lumen)

Scout service provider uses `config_path` helper that is not included in Lumen. To fix this include the following snippet either directly in `bootstrap.app` or in your autoloaded helpers file i.e. `app/helpers.php`.

```
if (! function_exists('config_path')) {
    /**
     * Get the configuration path.
     *
     * @param  string  $path
     * @return string
     */
    function config_path($path = '')
    {
        return app()->basePath() . '/config'.($path ? DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path : $path);
    }
}
```

Create the `scout.php` config file in `app/config` folder with the following contents

```
