Laravel Swiftype

Laravel Swiftype is a wrapper for elastic/app-search with some Laravel specific helpers to make integrating your Eloquent Models with Swiftype a breeze.

Installation

Via Composer

composer require loonpwn/laravel-swiftype

If you do not run Laravel 5.5 (or higher), then add the service provider in config/app.php:

Loonpwn\Swiftype\SwiftypeServiceProvider::class,

Usage

In your .env file, add the following variables.

SWIFTYPE_DEFAULT_ENGINE=
SWIFTYPE_API_PRIVATE_KEY=
SWIFTYPE_HOST_IDENTIFIER=

Get your keys from the Swiftype Credentials page.

When self-hosting an instance of AppSearch, you can use the API Endpoint displayed on the credentials page as SWIFTYPE_HOST_IDENTIFIER, e.g.:

SWIFTYPE_HOST_IDENTIFIER=http://localhost:3002

API

This packages has two Facades which give you access to the underlying Swiftype client.

Swiftype

The Swiftype facade is a direct wrapper for the built client from https://github.com/elastic/app-search-php. Any command from the base client can be used on this facade. Example:

• Swiftype::listEngines($currentPage = null, $pageSize = null) - Show all engines available

• Swiftype::createEngine($name, $language = 'en') - Find an engine based on name

With IDE auto-complete:

/** @var \Loonpwn\Swiftype\Clients\Api $api */
$api = app(Swiftype::class);

SwiftypeEngine

The SwiftypeEngine is a wrapper on top of the Swiftype facade with direct context of the default engine. Many of the same functions from the core API is available in this facade without the need to specify an engine.

SwiftypeEngine::search($query, $options) - Search documents within the engine

SwiftypeEngine::indexDocument($document) - Creates a new document, or updates an existing, based on the primary key. This function will use a transformer to make sure the primary key is transformed to just id.

SwiftypeEngine::indesDocuments($document) - Similar as the above but will take a list of models and chunk them to 100 per request

SwiftypeEngine::deleteDocument($documentId) - Removes a document.

SwiftypeEngine::deleteDocuments($documentIds) - Takes an array of document ids and removes them.

SwiftypeEngine::listDocuments($page = 1, $pageSize = 100) - Lists documents that belong to the engine, with pagination.

SwiftypeEngine::listAllDocumentsByPages($action, $page = 1, $pageSize = 100) - Lists documents that belong to the engine, will iterate through all pages and call your custom action.

SwiftypeEngine::purgeAllDocuments() - Will remove all documents from Swiftype

Traits

IsSwiftypeDocument is a trait available which hooks into the models saved event hook. The following happens on saved:

• shouldSyncSwiftypeOnSave is checked and must pass true to continue
• getSwiftypeAttributes is called to get the attributes to send to Swiftype

You should override these functions for business specific logic.

/**
 * Should model changes be pushed to Swiftype. Excludes deleting
 * @return bool
 */
public function shouldSyncSwiftypeOnSave()
{
    // by default all model changes are pushed to swiftype
    return true;
}

/**
 * Get the mapped attribute values for Swiftype
 * @return mixed|null
 */
public function getSwiftypeAttributes()
{
    // Document transformer is the default transformer, feel free to implement your own
    return transform($this, new DocumentTransformer());
}

Jobs

Currently only jobs directly related to the Eloquent Model events are created. These can be used to queue the data sync.

• DeleteDocument($documentId) - Delete a particular document, takes the document id
• IndexDocument($document) - Pushes the individual document. Takes the mapped document
• SyncDocuments - Iterates through all documents in Swiftype and local DB to find documents out of sync and eithers adds or removes them. This uses the swiftype.sync_models configuration

Testing

$ composer test
