This package makes it easy to add full text search support to your models with Laravel 7.* to 11.*.
Important
The features from the Scout driver in this repo have been merged upstream into Laravel Scout natively.
So we've temporarily paused development in this repo and plan to instead address any issues or improvements in the native Laravel Scout driver instead.
If there are any Typesense-specific features that would be hard to implement in Laravel Scout natively (since we need to maintain consistency with all the other drivers), then at that point we plan to add those features into this driver and maintain it as a "Scout Extended Driver" of sorts. But it's too early to tell if we'd want to do this, so we're in a holding pattern on this repo for now.
In the meantime, we recommend switching to the native Laravel Scout driver and report any issues in the Laravel Scout repo.
The Typesense PHP SDK uses httplug to interface with various PHP HTTP libraries through a single API.
First, install the correct httplug adapter based on your guzzlehttp/guzzle version. For example, if you're on
Laravel 8, which includes Guzzle 7, then run this:
composer require php-http/guzzle7-adapterThen install the driver:
composer require typesense/laravel-scout-typesense-driverAnd add the service provider:
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
// ...
Typesense\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=typesense 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:
'typesense' => [
'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,
],If you are unfamiliar with Laravel Scout, we suggest reading it's documentation first.
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 Typesense\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseDocument;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
class Todo extends Model implements TypesenseDocument
{
use Searchable;
/**
* Get the indexable data array for the model.
*
* @return array
*/
public function toSearchableArray()
{
return array_merge(
$this->toArray(),
[
// Cast id to string and turn created_at into an int32 timestamp
// in order to maintain compatibility with the Typesense index definition below
'id' => (string) $this->id,
'created_at' => $this->created_at->timestamp,
]
);
}
/**
* The Typesense schema to be created.
*
* @return array
*/
public function getCollectionSchema(): array {
return [
'name' => $this->searchableAs(),
'fields' => [
[
'name' => 'id',
'type' => 'string',
],
[
'name' => 'name',
'type' => 'string',
],
[
'name' => 'created_at',
'type' => 'int64',
],
],
'default_sorting_field' => 'created_at',
];
}
/**
* The fields to be queried against. See https://typesense.org/docs/0.24.0/api/search.html.
*
* @return array
*/
public function typesenseQueryBy(): array {
return [
'name',
];
}
}Then, sync the data with the search service like:
php artisan scout:import App\\Models\\Todo
After that you can search your models with:
Todo::search('Test')->get();
The searchable() method will chunk the results of the query and add the records to your search index. Examples:
$todo = Todo::find(1);
$todo->searchable();
$todos = Todo::where('created_at', '<', now())->get();
$todos->searchable();You can send multiple search requests in a single HTTP request, using the Multi-Search feature.
$searchRequests = [
[
'collection' => 'todo',
'q' => 'todo'
],
[
'collection' => 'todo',
'q' => 'foo'
]
];
Todo::search('')->searchMulti($searchRequests)->paginateRaw();You can generate scoped search API keys that have embedded search parameters in them. This is useful in a few different scenarios:
- You can index data from multiple users/customers in a single Typesense collection (aka multi-tenancy) and create scoped search keys with embedded
filter_byparameters that only allow users access to their own subset of data. - You can embed any search parameters (for eg:
exclude_fieldsorlimit_hits) to prevent users from being able to modify it client-side.
When you use these scoped search keys in a search API call, the parameters you embedded in them will be automatically applied by Typesense and users will not be able to override them.
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
use Typesense\LaravelTypesense\Concerns\HasScopedApiKey;
use Typesense\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseDocument;
class Todo extends Model implements TypesenseDocument
{
use Searchable, HasScopedApiKey;
}Todo::setScopedApiKey('xyz')->search('todo')->get();- Replace
devloopsnet/laravel-typesensein your composer.json requirements withtypesense/laravel-scout-typesense-driver - The Scout driver is now called
typesense, instead oftypesensesearch. This should be reflected by setting the SCOUT_DRIVER env var totypesense, and changing the config/scout.php config key fromtypesensesearchtotypesense - Instead of importing
Devloops\LaravelTypesense\*, you should importTypesense\LaravelTypesense\* - Instead of models implementing
Devloops\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseSearch, they should implementTypesense\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseDocument
