It's another Elasticsearch PHP client. Everybody knows Elastica, wich is (was ? ;)) certainly the most advanced client in our PHP world. This is a great work (and a source of inspiration for me), but it's too complex in my opinion. I love fluid interfaces, magic deductions, and I really hate writing code when system can think for me. So here we are : Simpl-ES (Simples, for intimate) is the ES PHP client for lazy people, like me. It's actually in development, but as we (at V-Technologies) are using it in real projects, it will evolve quickly. Teasing ------- [](#teasing) ``` // Connect $client = Simples::connect(array( 'host' => 'my.es-server.net', 'index' => 'directory', 'type' => 'contact' )) ; // Search $response = $client->search() ->should() ->match('Morrison')->in('lastname') ->match('Jim') ->not() ->match('inspiration')->in(array('type','status')) ->facets(array('type','status')) ->size(5) ->execute() ; // Print your results echo 'Search tooked ' . $response->took . 'ms. ' . $response->hits->total . ' results ! ' ; ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Doc is available in the wiki pages. I have juste started writing it, so you maybe won't find what you are looking for. But be sure it will evolve quickly, in the next days/weeks ! Compatibility ------------- [](#compatibility) Simpl-ES is continuously tested on PHP 5.2.x, 5.3.x, 5.4.x and 5.5.x . It's actually developped for a 5.2 usage, but we will certainly create a 5.3 branche in order to use namespaces. We have implemented PSR-0 guidelines, so you can use your generic autoload method to work with it. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The simplest way to install and use Simpl-ES is to use Composer, as there is a package on Packagist. Just add this to your project composer.json file : ``` { "minimum-stability": "dev", "require": { "v-technologies/simpl-es": "*" } } ``` As there isn't yet a stable version, you have to add the "minimum-stability" clause to your file. If you don't do that, Composer won't be able to see Simpl-ES. Help us ------- [](#help-us) You can help us by sending feedback on the issues page, and hey ... fork it, share it and use it !
