# Installing Plastic

```bash
composer require sleimanx2/plastic
```

If you are using **Laravel >=5.5** the service provider will be **automatically discovered** otherwise we need to add the plastic service provider to `config/app.php` under the providers key:

```php
Sleimanx2\Plastic\PlasticServiceProvider::class
```

Finally we need to run:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish
```

This will create a config file at `config/plastic.php` and a mapping directory at `database/mappings`.

# Usage

- [Defining Searchable Models](#searchable-models)
- [Storing Model Content](#store-content)
- [Searching](#searching)
- [Aggregation](#aggregation)
- [Suggestions](#suggestions)
- [Mappings](#mappings)
- [Populate An Index](#populate-an-index)
- [Access The Client](#access-client)

## [Defining Searchable Models]()

To get started, enable searching capabilities in your model by adding the `Sleimanx2\Plastic\Searchable` trait:

```php
use Sleimanx2\Plastic\Searchable;

class Book extends Model
{
use Searchable;
}
```

### Defining what data to store.

By default, Plastic will store all visible properties of your model, using `$model->toArray()`.

In addition, Plastic provides you with two ways to manually specify which attributes/relations should be stored in Elasticsearch.

#### 1 - Providing a searchable property to our model

```php
public $searchable = ['id', 'name', 'body', 'tags', 'images'];
```

#### 2 - Providing a buildDocument method

```php
public function buildDocument()
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'tags' => $this->tags
];
}
```

### Custom elastic type name

By the default Plastic will use the model table name as the model type. You can customize it by adding a `$documentType` property to your model:

```php
public $documentType = 'custom_type';
```

### Custom elastic index name

By the default Plastic will use the index defined in the configuration file. You can customize in which index your model data will be stored by setting the `$documentIndex` property to your model:

```php
public $documentIndex = 'custom_index';
```

## [Storing Model Content]()

Plastic automatically syncs model data with elastic when you save or delete your model from our SQL DB, however this feature can be disabled by adding `public $syncDocument = false` to your model.

> Its important to note that manual document update should be performed in multiple scenarios:

> 1 - When you perform a bulk update or delete, no Eloquent event is triggered, therefore the document data won't be synced.

> 2 - Plastic doesn't listen to related models events (yet), so when you update a related model's content you should consider updating the parent document.

### Saving a document

```php
$book = Book::first()->document()->save();
```

### Partial updating a document

```php
$book = Book::first()->document()->update();
```

### Deleting a document

```php
$book = Book::first()->document()->delete();
```

### Saving documents in bulk

```php
Plastic::persist()->bulkSave(Tag::find(1)->books);
```

### Deleting documents in bulk

```php
$authors = Author::where('age','>',25)->get();

Plastic::persist()->bulkDelete($authors);
```

## [Searching Model Content]()

Plastic provides a fluent syntax to query Elasticsearch which leads to compact readable code. Lets dig into it:

```php
$result = Book::search()->match('title','pulp')->get();

// Returns a collection of Book Models
$books = $result->hits();

// Returns the total number of matched documents
$result->totalHits();

// Returns the highest query score
$result->maxScore();

//Returns the time needed to execute the query
$result->took();
```

To get the raw DSL query that will be executed you can call `toDSL()`:

```php
$dsl = Book::search()->match('title','pulp')->toDSL();
```

### Pagination

```php
$books = Book::search()
->multiMatch(['title', 'description'], 'ham on rye', ['fuzziness' => 'AUTO'])
->sortBy('date')
->paginate();
```

You can still access the result object after pagination using the result method:

```php
$books->result();
```

### Bool Query

```php
User::search()
->must()
->term('name','kimchy')
->mustNot()
->range('age',['from'=>10,'to'=>20])
->should()
->match('bio','developer')
->match('bio','elastic')
->filter()
->term('tag','tech')
->get();
```

### Nested Query

```php
$contain = 'foo';

Post::search()
->multiMatch(['title', 'body'], $contain)
->nested('tags', function (SearchBuilder $builder) use ($contain) {
$builder->match('tags.name', $contain);
})->get();
```

> Check out this [documentation](docs/search.md) of supported search queries within Plastic and how to apply unsupported queries.

### Change index on the fly

To switch to a different index for a single query, simply use the `index` method.

```php
$result = Book::search()->index('special-books')->match('title','pulp')->get();
```

## [Aggregation]()

```php
$result = User::search()
->match('bio', 'elastic')
->aggregate(function (AggregationBuilder $builder) {
$builder->average('average_age', 'age');
})->get();

$aggregations = $result->aggregations();
```

> Check out this [documentation](docs/aggregation.md) of supported aggregations within plastic and how to apply unsupported aggregations.

## [Suggestions]()

```php
Plastic::suggest()->completion('tag_suggest', 'photo')->get();
```

The suggestions query builder can also be accessed directly from the model as well:

```php
//this be handy if you have a custom index for your model
Tag::suggest()->term('tag_term','admin')->get();
```

## [Model Mapping]()

Mappings are an important aspect of Elasticsearch. You can compare them to indexing in SQL databases. Mapping your models yields better and more efficient search results, and allows us to use some special query functions like nested fields and suggestions.

### Generate a Model Mapping

```bash
php artisan make:mapping "App\User"
```

The new mapping will be placed in your `database/mappings` directory.

### Mapping Structure

A mapping class contains a single method `map`. The map method is used to map the given model fields.

Within the `map` method you may use the Plastic Map builder to expressively create field maps. For example, let's look at a sample mapping that creates a Tag model map:

```php
use Sleimanx2\Plastic\Map\Blueprint;
use Sleimanx2\Plastic\Mappings\Mapping;

class AppTag extends Mapping
{
/**
* Full name of the model that should be mapped
*
* @var string
*/
protected $model = App\Tag::class;

/**
* Run the mapping.
*
* @return void
*/
public function map()
{
Map::create($this->getModelType(), function (Blueprint $map) {
$map->string('name')->store('true')->index('analyzed');

// instead of the fluent syntax we can use the second method argument to fill the attributes
$map->completion('suggestion', ['analyzer' => 'simple', 'search_analyzer' => 'simple']);
},$this->getModelIndex());
}
}
```

> To learn about all of the methods available on the Map builder, check out this [documentation](docs/mapping.md).

### Run Mappings

Running the created mappings can be done using the Artisan console command:

```bash
php artisan mapping:run
```

### Updating Mappings

If your update consists only of adding a new field mapping you can always update our model map with your new field and run:

```bash
php artisan mapping:rerun
```

The mapping for existing fields cannot be updated or deleted, so you'll need to use one of following techniques to update existing fields.

#### 1 - Create a new index

You can always create a new Elasticsearch index and re-run the mappings. After running the mappings you can use the `bulkSave` method to sync your SQL data with Elasticsearch.

#### 2 - Using aliases

Its recommended to create your Elasticsearch index with an alias to ease the process of updating your model mappings with zero downtime. To learn more check out:

## [Populate An Index]()

Populating an index with searchable models can be done by running an Artisan console command :

```bash
php artisan plastic:populate [--mappings][--index=...][--database=...]
```

- `--mappings` Create the models mappings before populating the index
- `--database=...` Database connection to use for mappings instead of the default one
- `--index=...` Index to populate instead of the default one

The list of models from which to recreate the documents has to be configured **per index** in `config/plastic.php`:
```
'populate' => [
'models' => [
// Models for the default index
env('PLASTIC_INDEX', 'plastic') => [
App\Models\Article::class,
App\Models\Page::class,
],
// Models for the index "another_index"
'another_index' => [
App\Models\User::class,
],
],
],
```

## [Access The Client]()

You can access the Elasticsearch client to manage your indices and aliases as follows:

```php
$client = Plastic::getClient();

//index delete
$client->indices()->delete(['index'=> Plastic::getDefaultIndex()]);
//index create
$client->indices()->create(['index' => Plastic::getDefaultIndex()]);
```
