Querying Models

Understanding how to query your models in Elasticsearch is crucial to leveraging the full potential of this package. This section covers the essentials of model querying, allowing you to fetch and interact with your data efficiently.

---

All

Retrieve all records for a given model:

$products = Product::all();

Equivalent to get() without clauses.

$products = Product::get();

---

Find

As with Eloquent, you can use the find method to retrieve a model by its primary key (_id). The method will return a single model instance or null if no matching model is found.

$product = Product::find('IiLKG38BCOXW3U9a4zcn');

Find the product with _id of IiLKG38BCOXW3U9a4zcn and return the model collection, or null if it does not exist.

Explain

$product = Product::findOrFail('IiLKG38BCOXW3U9a4zcn');

Find the product with _id of IiLKG38BCOXW3U9a4zcn and return the model collection, or throw a ModelNotFoundException if no result is found.

Explain

---

First

As with Eloquent, you can use the first method to retrieve the first model that matches the query. The method will return a single model instance or null if no matching model is found.

$product = Product::where('status',1)->first();

Find the first product with a status of 1 and return the model collection if it exists.

Explain

$product = Product::where('status',1)->firstOrFail();

Find the first product with a status of 1 and return the model collection, or throw a ModelNotFoundException if no result is found.

Explain

Note

If the ModelNotFoundException is not caught, a 404 HTTP response is automatically sent back to the client

---

Get

As with Eloquent, you can use the get method to retrieve all models that match the query. The method will return a model collection or an empty collection if no matching models are found.

$product = Product::where('status',1)->get();

{
   "index":"products",
   "body":{
      "query":{
         "match":{
            "status":1
         }
      },
      "_source":[
         "*"
      ]
   }
}
