Installation

You can install the package via composer:, _(*5)

``` bash composer require teamtnt/laravel-scout-tntsearch-driver, <sub>(*6)</sub>

Add the service provider:

```php
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    // ...
    TeamTNT\Scout\TNTSearchScoutServiceProvider::class,
],

Ensure you have Laravel Scout as a provider too otherwise you will get an "unresolvable dependency" error, <sub>(*7)</sub>

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

Add SCOUT_DRIVER=tntsearch to your .env file, <sub>(*8)</sub>

Then you should publish scout.php configuration file to your config directory, <sub>(*9)</sub>

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

In your config/scout.php add:, <sub>(*10)</sub>

'tntsearch' => [
    'storage'  => storage_path(), //place where the index files will be stored
    'fuzziness' => env('TNTSEARCH_FUZZINESS', false),
    'fuzzy' => [
        'prefix_length' => 2,
        'max_expansions' => 50,
        'distance' => 2,
    'no_limit' => true
    ],
    'asYouType' => false,
    'searchBoolean' => env('TNTSEARCH_BOOLEAN', false),
    'maxDocs' => env('TNTSEARCH_MAX_DOCS', 500),
],

To prevent your search indexes being commited to your project repository, add the following line to your .gitignore file., <sub>(*11)</sub>

/storage/*.index, <sub>(*12)</sub>

The asYouType option can be set per model basis, see the example below., <sub>(*13)</sub>

Usage

After you have installed scout and the TNTSearch 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:, <sub>(*14)</sub>

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Searchable;

    public $asYouType = true;

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

        // Customize array...

        return $array;
    }
}

Then, sync the data with the search service like:, <sub>(*15)</sub>

php artisan scout:import App\\Post, <sub>(*16)</sub>

If you have a lot of records and want to speed it up you can run (note that with this you can no longer use model-relations in your toSearchableArray()):, <sub>(*17)</sub>

php artisan tntsearch:import App\\Post, <sub>(*18)</sub>

After that you can search your models with:, <sub>(*19)</sub>

Post::search('Bugs Bunny')->get();, <sub>(*20)</sub>

Scout status

php artisan scout:status, <sub>(*21)</sub>

With this simple command you'll get a quick overview of your search indices., <sub>(*22)</sub>

, <sub>(*23)</sub>

Or you can pass a searchable model argument:, <sub>(*24)</sub>

php artisan scout:status "App\Models\Post", <sub>(*25)</sub>

If your models are not in the default location app or one of its subdirectories, you may set the modelPath option, <sub>(*26)</sub>

// config/scout.php
'tntsearch' => [
    // ...
    'modelPath' => 'models',
],

, <sub>(*27)</sub>

Constraints

Additionally to where() statements as conditions, you're able to use Eloquent queries to constrain your search. This allows you to take relationships into account., <sub>(*28)</sub>

If you make use of this, the search command has to be called after all queries have been defined in your controller., <sub>(*29)</sub>

The where() statements you already know can be applied everywhere., <sub>(*30)</sub>

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Post;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $post = new Post;

        // filter out posts to which the given topic is assigned
        if($request->topic) {
            $post = $post->whereNotIn('id', function($query){
                $query->select('assigned_to')->from('comments')->where('topic','=', request()->input('topic'));
            });
        }

        // only posts from people that are no moderators
        $post = $post->byRole('moderator','!=');

        // when user is not admin filter out internal posts
        if(!auth()->user()->hasRole('admin'))
        {
            $post= $post->where('internal_post', false);
        }

        if ($request->searchTerm) {
            $constraints = $post; // not necessary but for better readability
            $post = Post::search($request->searchTerm)->constrain($constraints);
        }

        $post->where('deleted', false);

        $post->orderBy('updated_at', 'asc');

        $paginator = $post->paginate(10);
        $posts = $paginator->getCollection();

        // return posts
    }
}

Adding via Query

The searchable() method will chunk the results of the query and add the records to your search index., <sub>(*31)</sub>

$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();

When using constraints apply it after the constraints are added to the query, as seen in the above example., <sub>(*32)</sub>

OrderBy

An orderBy() statement can now be applied to the search query similar to the where() statement., <sub>(*33)</sub>

When using constraints apply it after the constraints are added to the query, as seen in the above example., <sub>(*34)</sub>
