Configuration

1. Set up your .env with the following Elasticsearch settings:

   ES_AUTH_TYPE=http
   ES_HOSTS="http://localhost:9200"
   ES_USERNAME=
   ES_PASSWORD=
   ES_CLOUD_ID=
   ES_API_ID=
   ES_API_KEY=
   ES_SSL_CA=
   ES_INDEX_PREFIX=my_app
   # prefix will be added to all indexes created by the package with an underscore
   # ex: my_app_user_logs for UserLog.php model
   ES_SSL_CERT=
   ES_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD=
   ES_SSL_KEY=
   ES_SSL_KEY_PASSWORD=
   # Options
   ES_OPT_ID_SORTABLE=false
   ES_OPT_VERIFY_SSL=true
   ES_OPT_RETRIES=
   ES_OPT_META_HEADERS=true
   ES_ERROR_INDEX=

   For multiple nodes, pass in as comma-separated:

   ES_HOSTS="http://es01:9200,http://es02:9200,http://es03:9200"

   Example cloud config .env: (Click to expand)

   ES_AUTH_TYPE=cloud
   ES_HOSTS="https://xxxxx-xxxxxx.es.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243"
   ES_USERNAME=elastic
   ES_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   ES_CLOUD_ID=XXXXX:ZXVyb3BlLXdl.........SQwYzM1YzU5ODI5MTE0NjQ3YmEyNDZlYWUzOGNkN2Q1Yg==
   ES_API_ID=
   ES_API_KEY=
   ES_SSL_CA=
   ES_INDEX_PREFIX=my_app
   ES_ERROR_INDEX=

2. In config/database.php, add the elasticsearch connection:

   'elasticsearch' => [
   'driver' => 'elasticsearch',
   'auth_type' => env('ES_AUTH_TYPE', 'http'), //http or cloud
   'hosts' => explode(',', env('ES_HOSTS', 'http://localhost:9200')),
   'username' => env('ES_USERNAME', ''),
   'password' => env('ES_PASSWORD', ''),
   'cloud_id' => env('ES_CLOUD_ID', ''),
   'api_id' => env('ES_API_ID', ''),
   'api_key' => env('ES_API_KEY', ''),
   'ssl_cert' => env('ES_SSL_CA', ''),
   'ssl' => [
       'cert' => env('ES_SSL_CERT', ''),
       'cert_password' => env('ES_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD', ''),
       'key' => env('ES_SSL_KEY', ''),
       'key_password' => env('ES_SSL_KEY_PASSWORD', ''),
   ],
   'index_prefix' => env('ES_INDEX_PREFIX', false),
   'options' => [
       'allow_id_sort' => env('ES_OPT_ID_SORTABLE', false),
       'ssl_verification' => env('ES_OPT_VERIFY_SSL', true),
       'retires' => env('ES_OPT_RETRIES', null),
       'meta_header' => env('ES_OPT_META_HEADERS', true),
   ],
   'error_log_index' => env('ES_ERROR_INDEX', false),
   ],

3. If packages are not autoloaded, add the service provider: For Laravel 10 and below:

   config/app.php

   'providers' => [
       ...
       ...
       PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\ElasticServiceProvider::class,
       ...

   For Laravel 11:

   bootstrap/providers.php

   <?php
   return [
       App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
       PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\ElasticServiceProvider::class,
   ];

Now, you’re all set to use Elasticsearch with Laravel as if it were native to the framework.
