Installation

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-adapter

Then install the driver:

composer require typesense/laravel-scout-typesense-driver

And 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,
  ],

Usage

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/0.21.0/api/documents.html#search.
     *
     * @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();

Adding via Query

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();

Migrating from devloopsnet/laravel-typesense

• Replace devloopsnet/laravel-typesense in your composer.json requirements with typesense/laravel-scout-typesense-driver
• The Scout driver is now called typesense, instead of typesensesearch. This should be reflected by setting the SCOUT_DRIVER env var to typesense, and changing the config/scout.php config key from typesensesearch to typesense
• Instead of importing Devloops\LaravelTypesense\*, you should import Typesense\LaravelTypesense\*
• Instead of models implementing Devloops\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseSearch, they should implement Typesense\LaravelTypesense\Interfaces\TypesenseDocument
