Usage

1. Run composer require shift31/laravel-elasticsearch:~4.5.0

2. Publish config file

Laravel artisan command

$ php artisan config:publish shift31/laravel-elasticsearch 

You can always read config parameters with:

\Config::get('shift31::elasticsearch');

Note: The keys of this array should be named according the parameters supported by Elasticsearch\ClientBuilder.

3. In the 'providers' array in app/config/app.php, add 'Shift31\LaravelElasticsearch\ElasticsearchServiceProvider'.

4. Use the Es facade to access any method from the Elasticsearch\Client class, for example:

$searchParams['index'] = 'your_index';
$searchParams['size'] = 50;
$searchParams['body']['query']['query_string']['query'] = 'foofield:barstring';
$result = Es::search($searchParams);

Default Configuration

If you return an empty array in the config file, Service provider merges default config with custom config variables. For custom config file question please see this elastic search configuration page.

Default config file which is publishing by artisan command.
