Most of the configuration you will be doing through the mapping of your index. However, if for example you want to define more advanced Elasticsearch settings such as analyzers or tokenizers you need to do so using index settings.
Be aware that any time you change the index settings, you need to recreate the index.
To start using index settings, we will expand on the Post model with an indexSettings function to set an analyzer.
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Hilsonxhero\ElasticVision\Application\Explored;
use Hilsonxhero\ElasticVision\Application\IndexSettings;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
class Post extends Model implements Explored, IndexSettings
{
use HasFactory;
use Searchable;
protected $fillable = ['title', 'published'];
public function mappableAs(): array
{
return [
'id' => 'keyword',
'title' => 'text',
'published' => 'boolean',
'created_at' => 'date',
];
}
public function indexSettings(): array
{
return [
'analysis' => [
'analyzer' => [
'standard_lowercase' => [
'type' => 'custom',
'tokenizer' => 'standard',
'filter' => ['lowercase'],
],
],
],
];
}
}If you want to create an analyzer object-oriented, continue reading here.
If you want to use the configuration array notation (see mapping), you may add the settings as follows:
return [
'indexes' => [
\App\Models\Product::class,
],
];
