Here we created a "website" index, that uses our "default" client.
Our index is now available as a service: foq_elastica.index.website. It is an instance of Elastica_Index.

php app/console foq:elastica:populate
This command deletes and creates the declared indexes and types. It applies the configured mappings to the types.
This command needs providers to insert new documents in the elasticsearch types. There are 2 ways to create providers. If your elasticsearch type matches a Doctrine repository or a Propel query, go for the persistence automatic provider. Or, for complete flexibility, go for manual provider.
If we want to index the entities from a Doctrine repository or a Propel query, some configuration will let ElasticaBundle do it for us.
foq_elastica:
clients:
default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
indexes:
website:
client: default
types:
user:
mappings:
username: { boost: 5 }
firstName: { boost: 3 }
# more mappings...
persistence:
driver: orm # orm, mongodb, propel are available
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
provider:
Three drivers are actually supported: orm, mongodb, and propel.
You can control which entities will be indexed by specifying a custom query builder method.
persistence:
driver: orm
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
provider:
query_builder_method: createIsActiveQueryBuilder
Your repository must implement this method and return a Doctrine query builder.
Propel doesn't support this feature yet.
By default, ElasticaBundle will index documents by packets of 100. You can change this value in the provider configuration.
persistence:
driver: orm
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
provider:
batch_size: 100
By default, ElasticaBundle will use the id field of your entities as the elasticsearch document identifier.
You can change this value in the persistence configuration.
persistence:
driver: orm
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
identifier: id
Create a service with the tag "foq_elastica.provider" and attributes for the index and type for which the service will provide.
<service id="acme.search_provider.user" class="Acme\UserBundle\Search\UserProvider">
<tag name="foq_elastica.provider" index="website" type="user" />
<argument type="service" id="foq_elastica.index.website.user" />
</service>
Its class must implement FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Provider\ProviderInterface.
<?php
namespace Acme\UserBundle\Provider;
use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Provider\ProviderInterface;
use Elastica_Type;
class UserProvider implements ProviderInterface
{
protected $userType;
public function __construct(Elastica_Type $userType)
{
$this->userType = $userType;
}
/**
* Insert the repository objects in the type index
*
* @param Closure $loggerClosure
*/
public function populate(Closure $loggerClosure = null)
{
if ($loggerClosure) {
$loggerClosure('Indexing users');
}
$document = new \Elastica_Document();
$document->setData(array('username' => 'Bob'));
$this->userType->addDocuments(array($document));
}
}
You will find a more complete implementation example in src/FOQ/ElasticaBundle/Doctrine/AbstractProvider.php.
You can just use the index and type Elastica objects, provided as services, to perform searches.
/** var Elastica_Type */
$userType = $this->container->get('foq_elastica.index.website.user');
/** var Elastica_ResultSet */
$resultSet = $userType->search('bob');
If your elasticsearch type is bound to a Doctrine entity repository or a Propel query, you can get your entities instead of Elastica results when you perform a search. Declare that you want a Doctrine/Propel finder in your configuration:
foq_elastica:
clients:
default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
indexes:
website:
client: default
types:
user:
mappings:
# your mappings
persistence:
driver: orm
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
provider:
finder:
You can now use the foq_elastica.finder.website.user service:
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Finder\TransformedFinder */
$finder = $container->get('foq_elastica.finder.website.user');
/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->find('bob');
/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User limited to 10 results */
$users = $finder->find('bob', 10);
You can even get paginated results!
Pagerfanta:
/** var Pagerfanta\Pagerfanta */
$userPaginator = $finder->findPaginated('bob');
Knp paginator:
$paginator = $this->get('knp_paginator');
$userPaginator = $paginator->paginate($finder->createPaginatorAdapter('bob'));
You can also get both the Elastica results and the entities together from the finder. You can then access the score, highlights etc. from the Elastica_Result whilst still also getting the entity.
/** var array of FOQ\ElasticaBundle\HybridResult */
$hybridResults = $finder->findHybrid('bob');
foreach ($hybridResults as $hybridResult) {
/** var Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$user = $hybridResult->getTransformed();
/** var Elastica_Result */
$result = $hybridResult->getResult();
}
You can also define a finder that will work on the entire index. Adjust your index configuration as per below:
foq_elastica:
indexes:
website:
client: default
finder:
You can now use the index wide finder service foq_elastica.finder.website:
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Finder\MappedFinder */
$finder = $container->get('foq_elastica.finder.website');
// Returns a mixed array of any objects mapped
$results = $finder->find('bob');
As well as using the finder service for a particular Doctrine/Propel entity you can use a manager service for each driver and get a repository for an entity to search against. This allows you to use the same service rather than the particular finder. For example:
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Manager\RepositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $container->get('foq_elastica.manager.orm');
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('UserBundle:User');
/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->find('bob');
You can also specify the full name of the entity instead of the shortcut syntax:
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('Application\UserBundle\Entity\User');
The 2.0 branch doesn't support using
UserBundle:Userstyle syntax and you must use the full name of the entity. .
If you are only using one driver then its manager service is automatically aliased
to foq_elastica.manager. So the above example could be simplified to:
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Manager\RepositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $container->get('foq_elastica.manager');
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('UserBundle:User');
/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->find('bob');
If you use multiple drivers then you can choose which one is aliased to foq_elastica.manager
using the default_manager parameter:
foq_elastica:
default_manager: mongodb #defauults to orm
clients:
default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
#--
As well as the default repository you can create a custom repository for an entity and add
methods for particular searches. These need to extend FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository to have
access to the finder:
<?php
namespace Acme\ElasticaBundle\SearchRepository;
use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository;
class UserRepository extends Repository
{
public function findWithCustomQuery($searchText)
{
// build $query with Elastica objects
$this->find($query);
}
}
To use the custom repository specify it in the mapping for the entity:
foq_elastica:
clients:
default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
indexes:
website:
client: default
types:
user:
mappings:
# your mappings
persistence:
driver: orm
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
provider:
finder:
repository: Acme\ElasticaBundle\SearchRepository\UserRepository
Then the custom queries will be available when using the repository returned from the manager:
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Manager\RepositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $container->get('foq_elastica.manager');
/** var FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Repository */
$repository = $repositoryManager->getRepository('UserBundle:User');
/** var array of Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User */
$users = $finder->findWithCustomQuery('bob');
Alternatively you can specify the custom repository using an annotation in the entity:
<?php
namespace Application\UserBundle\Entity;
use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Configuration\Search;
/**
* @Search(repositoryClass="Acme\ElasticaBundle\SearchRepository\UserRepository")
*/
class User
{
//---
}
If you use the Doctrine integration, you can let ElasticaBundle update the indexes automatically when an object is added, updated or removed. It uses Doctrine lifecycle events. Declare that you want to update the index in real time:
foq_elastica:
clients:
default: { host: localhost, port: 9200 }
indexes:
website:
client: default
types:
user:
mappings:
# your mappings
persistence:
driver: orm
model: Application\UserBundle\Entity\User
listener: # by default, listens to "insert", "update" and "delete"
Now the index is automatically updated each time the state of the bound Doctrine repository changes.
No need to repopulate the whole "user" index when a new User is created.
You can also choose to only listen for some of the events:
persistence:
listener:
insert: true
update: false
delete: true
Propel doesn't support this feature yet.
If you use listeners to update your index, you may need to validate your
entities before you index them (e.g. only index "public" entities). Typically,
you'll want the listener to be consistent with the provider's query criteria.
This may be achieved by using the is_indexable_callback config parameter:
persistence:
listener:
is_indexable_callback: "isPublic"
If is_indexable_callback is a string and the entity has a method with the
specified name, the listener will only index entities for which the method
returns true. Additionally, you may provide a service and method name pair:
persistence:
listener:
is_indexable_callback: [ "%custom_service_id%", "isIndexable" ]
In this case, the callback will be the isIndexable() method on the specified
service and the object being considered for indexing will be passed as the only
argument. This allows you to do more complex validation (e.g. ACL checks).
As you might expect, new entities will only be indexed if the callback returns
true. Additionally, modified entities will be updated or removed from the
index depending on whether the callback returns true or false, respectively.
The delete listener disregards the callback.
Propel doesn't support this feature yet.
Any setting can be specified when declaring a type. For example, to enable a custom analyzer, you could write:
foq_elastica:
indexes:
doc:
settings:
index:
analysis:
analyzer:
my_analyzer:
type: custom
tokenizer: lowercase
filter : [my_ngram]
filter:
my_ngram:
type: "nGram"
min_gram: 3
max_gram: 5
types:
blog:
mappings:
title: { boost: 8, analyzer: my_analyzer }
By default, exceptions from the Elastica client library will propagate through
the bundle's Client class. For instance, if the elasticsearch server is offline,
issuing a request will result in an Elastica_Exception_Client being thrown.
Depending on your needs, it may be desirable to suppress these exceptions and
allow searches to fail silently.
One way to achieve this is to override the foq_elastica.client.class service
container parameter with a custom class. In the following example, we override
the Client::request() method and return the equivalent of an empty search
response if an exception occurred.
<?php
namespace Acme\ElasticaBundle;
use FOQ\ElasticaBundle\Client as BaseClient;
class Client extends BaseClient
{
public function request($path, $method, $data = array())
{
try {
return parent::request($path, $method, $data);
} catch (\Elastica_Exception_Abstract $e) {
return new \Elastica_Response('{"took":0,"timed_out":false,"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":0,"hits":[]}}');
}
}
}
