Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require devloopsnet/laravel-typesense

Add the service provider:

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    // ...
    Devloops\LaravelTypesense\TypesenseServiceProvider::class,
],

Ensure you have Laravel Scout as a provider too otherwise you will get an "unresolvable dependency" error

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    // ...
    Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider::class,
],

Add SCOUT_DRIVER=typesensesearch to your .env file

Then you should publish scout.php configuration file to your config directory

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider"

In your config/scout.php add:

'typesensesearch' => [
    'api_key'         => 'abcd',
    'nodes'           => [
      [
        'host'     => 'localhost',
        'port'     => '8108',
        'path'     => '',
        'protocol' => 'http',
      ],
    ],
    'nearest_node'    => [
        'host'     => 'localhost',
        'port'     => '8108',
        'path'     => '',
        'protocol' => 'http',
    ],
    'connection_timeout_seconds'   => 2,
    'healthcheck_interval_seconds' => 30,    
    'num_retries'                  => 3,
    'retry_interval_seconds'       => 1,
  ],

Usage

After you have installed scout and the Typesense driver, you need to add the Searchable trait to your models that you want to make searchable. Additionaly, define the fields you want to make searchable by defining the toSearchableArray method on the model and implement TypesenseSearch:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Devloops\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseSearch;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;

class Post extends Model implements TypesenseSearch
{
    use Searchable;

    /**
     * Get the indexable data array for the model.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function toSearchableArray()
    {
        $array = $this->toArray();

        // Customize array...

        return $array;
    }

    public function getCollectionSchema(): array {
      return [
        'name' => $this->searchableAs(),
        'fields' => [
          [
            'name' => 'title',
            'type' => 'string',
          ],
          [
            'name' => 'created_at',
            'type' => 'int32',
          ],
        ],
        'default_sorting_field' => 'created_at',
      ];
    }

    public function typesenseQueryBy(): array {
      return [
        'name',
      ];
    }
    
}

Then, sync the data with the search service like:

php artisan scout:import App\\Post

After that you can search your models with:

Post::search('Bugs Bunny')->get();

Adding via Query

The searchable() method will chunk the results of the query and add the records to your search index.

$post = Post::find(1);

// You may also add record via collection... $post->searchable();

// OR

$posts = Post::where('year', '>', '2018')->get();

// You may also add records via collections... $posts->searchable();
