[Feature] Add scout builder variable on creating HitsIteratorAggregate about laravel-scout-elasticsearch

[matchish]

Thank you) I'm not sure I got what issue you're trying to solve. Could you provide some example or even better to write a test that not pass?

On importing model to storage, __class_name has class name of imported model.
On searching we retrieve models by same class stored in __class_name.
Its nice for a project without any additional services (other language, other model name).
Search result will be losted when we rename model class, move model to other namespace, use several models for frontend and backend, fill elastic database with other service or try to use already existed data.

App\Models\Product::makeAllSearchable(); // __class_name is 'App\Models\Product'

class MyProduct extends Product {}
App\AnyModule\MyProduct::search()->get(); // return 'App\Models\Product' instead 'App\AnyModule\MyProduct'

Using a custom HitsIteratorAggregate with scout $builder is a quick way for retrieve in search result models with initial model class for searching.

Long way

Laravel eloquent has polymorphic with custom types https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-relationships#custom-polymorphic-types
By default on database will saved App\Models\Product. For using custom type we update model and setup morph map.

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model {
   protected $morphClass = 'ProductAlias'; 

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Relation;
Relation::morphMap([
    'ProductAlias' => App\Models\Product::class,
]);

Eloquent will save to database 'ProductAlias' instead App\Models\Product. For retrieve assigned class for alias used Model::getActualClassNameForMorph('ProductAlias') => 'App\Models\Product'
This approach is more flexible to the organization of the code and allows you to reassign the class at any time.
This solution is not quick.

Thanks for the explanation. Now I think I got the problem. Let me think
