Laravel-mongodb: Compatibility with Laravel Scout

[clementbirkle]

Hello,

Is lt compatible with Laravel Scout? https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/scout

Thanks for your responses.

I'll make a full functionality test tomorrow. However it should not have any major incompatibilities as _This library extends the original Laravel classes, so it uses exactly the same methods._

I've made a fast look at this library. And it seems to be working fine.

Builder.php

This class relies on this functions of $engine variable, which may be an instance of Moloquent. almost all of them are currently supported.

• get
• paginate
• Paginator::appends
• Paginator::hasMorePagesWhen

SearchableScope.php

• extend function blueprint is extend(EloquentBuilder $builder)
  
  
  
  • This may cause some minor problems and require some fixes.
  
  

Engines

Engines seem to be fine as they are fully abstracted.
AlgoliaEngine.php

Thank you very much for your analyse and looking forward for the next release :)

I’m having some problems in some specific cases that I still can exactly discover.
My Algolia index is not being updated every time I update a document in Mongo. Here is my issue https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb/issues/1316

I clean my index in Algolia, I clean my collection in Mongo. I add 10000 documents and only 3000 gets indexed in Algolia.
Then I use ->searchable() to try to add all my documents, and it updates the 10000, not only the new 7000.
I don’t know if it’s normal or is related to Mongo

Hi all,

any news about compatibility with Laravel Scout? Does it works?

Hi @Surt
I had to extend the update method in Algolia Engine, and first I get actual document in Algolia and compare with mine, and I update in case it's needed.
The hard part is to compare a recursive Array.
You also have to ignore some fields when you compare.
_id doesn't exist in Algolia, so if you compare the documents, _id will be a difference.

Algolia charges for indexation, not for search. So in Update you first search, then compare, and update if needed.
That's how I fixed it

Thanks @elfeffe
I've actually succeed using https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb with the elastic driver for scout https://github.com/babenkoivan/scout-elasticsearch-driver

I just needed to change the _id property so _id is converted to id
Now, it works like a charm. inserts, updates, deletes, etc...

Thank you very much @jenssegers for this awesome library.

    /**
     * Get the indexable data array for the model.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function toSearchableArray()
    {
        $array = $this->toArray();
        $array['id'] = $array['_id'];
        unset($array['_id']);
        return $array;
    }

I made a simple solution

mongo already have a full-text search engine is there any chance to integrate scout with the mongo built in search instead of adding an extra layer es ?
