pdphilip/elasticsearch

This release is compatible with Laravel 11, 12 & 13, and with Elasticsearch 8 & 9

Added

• Elasticsearch 9 support - the full suite runs green against ES 8.18 and 9.5, and CI now tests both on every push. No code changes were needed: the ^8.17 client talks to both server lines.
• ElasticCollection::hasQueryMeta() - whether a collection carries the meta of the query that built it. False for the collections Eloquent builds on its own: newCollection(), hydrate(), and anything derived through map(), filter() or values().

Fixed

• cursor() returns a LazyCollection - matching Laravel's own builders, so cursor()->chunk(), ->map() and ->filter() work instead of fataling with Call to undefined method Generator::chunk(). Found and fixed by @BobbyBorisov in laravel-opensearch#28
• cursor() crashed on a fresh connection - Processor::getRawResponse() dereferenced null when a cursor was the first query on its connection (Call to a member function asArray() on null)
• paginate() lost its query meta when nothing matched - Laravel skips the query entirely once the count comes back as zero, so an empty page arrived as a bare collection and getQueryMeta() on it threw Method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::getQueryMeta does not exist. The count query's meta is now carried onto the empty page: getTotalHits() reports 0, and it still honours withTrackTotalHits() for indices past the 10k window
• Meta getters fataled on collections Eloquent built itself - ElasticCollection::$meta was a typed property that nothing initialised, so getQueryMeta(), getTook(), getDsl() and the rest threw Typed property ElasticCollection::$meta must not be accessed before initialization on any collection that did not come from a query. They now fall back to an empty QueryMeta, which reports its unknowns as -1. Note that nullsafe could not guard this: the error came from the property access, so $collection?->getQueryMeta() fataled too
• Query\Builder::get() could hand a null MetaDTO to setQueryMeta() - it read the $metaTransfer property directly instead of the accessor that initialises it

Changed

• cursor() returns LazyCollection instead of Generator. foreach is unaffected; anything type-hinting Generator or Iterator needs updating
• A cursor is re-iterable - a second pass opens a fresh scroll instead of throwing Cannot rewind a generator
• Query\Builder::getMetaTransfer() (internal) returns MetaDTO instead of ?MetaDTO - it initialises on demand and never actually returned null

Laravel 11 notice: three advisories now cover the whole 11.x branch with no 11.x release that clears them, and Composer 2.9+ blocks advisory-affected versions while resolving. On Laravel 11, composer require and composer update will refuse to install anything, this package included. composer install from a lock file still works. composer config policy.advisories.block false lifts it; upgrading to 12 or 13 is the real fix.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.7.0...v5.7.1

This release is compatible with Laravel 11, 12 & 13

Added

• whereNestedFieldExists($path) (docs) - explicit, zero-overhead check for "this nested path has at least one document." Emits the idiomatic nested + exists form directly, no closure required. Variants: whereNotNestedFieldExists, orWhereNestedFieldExists, orWhereNotNestedFieldExists.
• whereFieldExists($field) (docs) - properly named alias for the Elasticsearch exists query. Variants: whereNotFieldExists, orWhereFieldExists, orWhereNotFieldExists.
• nestedQuery($column) (docs) - returns a pre-configured Builder you can build up across conditionals and functions, then pass straight to whereNestedObject(). The closure form still works for simple cases; this is the escape hatch for programmatic composition.
• whereNestedObject() now accepts a pre-built Builder (from nestedQuery()) in addition to a Closure or raw DSL string. Invalid input now throws BuilderException instead of silently being stored.

Changed

• Exists queries on nested-mapped fields auto-wrap in nested (docs) - whereFieldExists('comments.country'), whereNotNull('comments.country'), and whereNull('comments.country') now emit the idiomatic nested { path: comments, query: { exists: ... } } form when the target field lives under a nested path. Detection only fires for dotted field names - bare-field calls (whereNotNull('title')) pay no overhead.
• IDE/PHPDoc improvements - find, first, firstOrCreate now return static (not the abstract base Model), so subclass property hints resolve correctly. Collection-returning methods (get, rawSearch, distinct, bulkDistinct) annotated as array<int, static> so foreach typing works in PhpStorm. ElasticCollection template hygiene tightened (FQN parent in @extends, dropped name-colliding use Model as TModel alias).

Deprecated

• whereTermExists family - replaced by whereFieldExists. The Term prefix was historical (the underlying ES query isn't term-related) and the old name avoided collision with Laravel's base whereExists(Closure). Old methods still work; will be removed in v6:
  • whereTermExists → whereFieldExists
  • whereNotTermExists → whereNotFieldExists
  • orWhereTermExists → orWhereFieldExists
  • orWhereNotTermsExists → orWhereNotFieldExists (also fixes the typo'd plural "Terms")

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.6.1...v5.7.0

Future-proofing note: After GitHub incorrectly shadow-banned my account (since reinstated with no explanation beyond "it shouldn't happen again"), all packages are now mirrored to GitLab. GitHub remains the home for issues, PRs, and community collaboration, but Packagist downloads exclusively from GitLab to ensure uninterrupted access to releases regardless of GitHub's actions.

This release is compatible with Laravel 11, 12 & 13

Fixed

• Laravel 13.3 compatibility - newCollection() override on base Model to prevent HasCollection trait from attempting to instantiate the abstract parent class (Cannot instantiate abstract class error introduced in Laravel 13.3's new resolveCollectionFromAttribute grandchild resolution)
• QueryException crash on Undefined array key "error" when Elasticsearch returns responses without the expected error.type structure (e.g. malformed or non-standard error payloads)

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.6.0...v5.6.1

This release is compatible with Laravel 11, 12 & 13

Added

• Laravel 13 support
• Symfony 8 support (via Laravel 13)
• Composer test scripts for per-version testing: composer test:l11, composer test:l12, composer test:l13, composer test:all

Changed

• Dropped Laravel 10 support (EOL)
• pdphilip/omniterm bumped to ^3.0
• Connection::select() signature updated with $fetchUsing parameter (Laravel 13 compatibility)
• CI matrix updated: PHP 8.3/8.4, Laravel 11/12/13

Refactored

• Collapsed Laravel version compatibility layer from 12 files (4 dispatchers + 4 v11 traits + 4 v12 traits) into 4 self-contained traits. Version checks now happen inside each method with spread operators for different constructor signatures - no more file-level conditional trait loading. Removed phpstan bootstrap class_alias hacks that were needed for the old pattern.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.5.3...v5.6.0

Fixed

• distinct(), bulkDistinct(), and groupBy() now work on nested fields (e.g., distinct('tags.key', true)). Previously these returned empty results because the compiled DSL lacked the required nested aggregation wrapper. The package now auto-detects nested mappings and wraps aggregations accordingly - no changes needed in userland code.
• When whereNestedObject() is combined with distinct() on the same nested path, the nested filter is injected inside the aggregation context so that only matching sub-documents are aggregated.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.5.2...v5.5.3

Improved

• elastic:re-index mapping analysis now includes settings for analyzers, tokenizers, char filters, filters, and normalizers.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.5.1...v5.5.2

Added

• Schema::compileMapping() - compile a Blueprint callback into its resulting ES mapping structure without creating the index. Useful for debugging and previewing what mappingDefinition() will produce.
• Grammar::compileMapping() - public access to the Blueprint-to-properties compilation pipeline.

Fixed

• elastic:re-index now correctly detects nested field mappings (e.g., nested('tags')->properties(...)) including their sub-fields and keyword sub-field changes.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.5.0...v5.5.1

This release is compatible with Laravel 10, 11 & 12

What's new in v5.5

New features

Automated Re-indexing Command

New elastic:re-index command that automates the entire re-indexing process when your field mappings change. Pass a model name and the command handles the rest - creating a temp index, copying data, verifying counts, swapping, and cleaning up across 9 interactive phases with confirmation prompts between each step. - Docs

php artisan elastic:re-index UserLog
php artisan elastic:re-index "App\Models\ES\UserLog"

Features include:

• Smart mapping analysis that detects type mismatches and sub-field changes (e.g., adding hasKeyword: true)
• Resume capability - interrupted runs pick up where they left off
• Configurable tolerance and retry settings
• --force flag to skip all confirmation prompts

Model Scaffolding Command

New elastic:make command to scaffold Elasticsearch models with the correct base class, connection, and a starter mappingDefinition(). - Docs

php artisan elastic:make UserLog
php artisan elastic:make ES/UserLog

Mapping Definition on Models

Define your index field mappings directly on the model by overriding mappingDefinition(). Uses the same Blueprint syntax as migrations. Powers the elastic:re-index command's mapping analysis. - Docs

public static function mappingDefinition(Blueprint $index): void
{
    $index->keyword('status');
    $index->text('title', hasKeyword: true);
    $index->geoPoint('location');
}

Artisan Commands Reference

All five Artisan commands (elastic:status, elastic:indices, elastic:show, elastic:make, elastic:re-index) are now documented on a dedicated page. - Docs

Fixed

• whereNestedObject() and filterNested() no longer leak parentField into the parent query builder. The nested path was being set on $this instead of the sub-query, causing it to persist across subsequent queries on the same builder.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.4.1...v5.5.0

Fixed

• _id no longer leaks into serialized output (toArray(), toJson()). The internal _id metadata field was being exposed alongside id, resulting in duplicate ID fields in model serialization.

This release is compatible with Laravel 10, 11 & 12

What's new in v5.4

New features

Auto-Create Index

When a model queries an index that doesn't exist yet, the index is created automatically instead of throwing index_not_found_exception. Matches Elasticsearch's own auto-create behavior for writes, extended to reads.

// No migration needed - index is created on first query
$products = Product::where('status', 'active')->get(); // returns empty collection

Controlled via options.auto_create_index config (default: true). - Docs

Why: New models shouldn't crash before the first write. Elasticsearch already auto-creates on insert; this extends the same behavior to reads.

Artisan Commands

First-class CLI tools for managing your Elasticsearch connection and indices:

• php artisan elastic:status - Connection health check with cluster info and license details
• php artisan elastic:indices - List all indices with health, doc count, and store size
• php artisan elastic:show {index} - Inspect an index: overview, mappings, settings, and analysis config

php artisan elastic:status
php artisan elastic:indices --all
php artisan elastic:show products

All commands support --connection= for non-default connections.

Why: Until now, inspecting your Elasticsearch setup meant leaving Laravel for curl or Kibana. These commands bring that visibility into Artisan where it belongs.

Upsert

New upsert() method matching Laravel's native signature. Insert or update records by unique key in a single bulk operation. - Docs

Product::upsert(
    [
        ['sku' => 'ABC', 'name' => 'Widget', 'price' => 10],
        ['sku' => 'DEF', 'name' => 'Gadget', 'price' => 20],
    ],
    ['sku'],           // unique key
    ['name', 'price']  // columns to update if exists
);

Supports single documents, batch operations, and composite unique keys.

Why: Elasticsearch has no native upsert-by-field. This queries for existing documents first, then issues a single bulk request mixing index and update actions.

Time-Ordered IDs

New GeneratesTimeOrderedIds trait for sortable, chronologically-ordered IDs. 20 characters, URL-safe, lexicographic sort matches creation order across processes. - Docs

use PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\Eloquent\GeneratesTimeOrderedIds;

class TrackingEvent extends Model
{
    use GeneratesTimeOrderedIds;
}

$event->id;                    // "0B3kF5XRABCDE_fghijk"
$event->getRecordTimestamp();  // 1771160093773 (ms)
$event->getRecordDate();       // Carbon instance

Safe for mixed datasets; returns null for pre-existing IDs not generated by this trait.

Why: When you need IDs that sort chronologically across multiple processes/workers, ideal for high-volume event tracking and time-sequenced analytics.

Changed

• Refactored Query Builder into focused concerns: BuildsAggregations, BuildsSearchQueries, BuildsFieldQueries, BuildsGeoQueries, BuildsNestedQueries, HandlesScripts, ManagesPit
• Refactored Grammar into concerns: CompilesAggregations, CompilesOrders, CompilesWheres, FieldUtilities
• Decomposed ElasticsearchModel trait into focused traits for clarity
• Consolidated ES PHP client usage into ElasticClient wrapper
• Consolidated metadata handling into single MetaDTO
• Simplified ManagesOptions parameter inference
• Extracted addFieldQuery() dispatcher in BuildsFieldQueries to deduplicate field query methods
• Refactored Relations for readability: early returns, named variables, simplified loops
• Schema Builder: added getIndexes(), getForeignKeys(), getViews() for Laravel compatibility
• CI updated to Elasticsearch 8.18.0
• Test suite expanded from 379 to 422 tests (2,548 assertions), all passing

Fixed

• id is now always present in serialized model output (toArray(), toJson())
• _id is no longer exposed in serialized output (internal metadata stays internal)
• Removed dead debug code from Connection.php

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.3.0...v5.4.0

This release is compatible with Laravel 10, 11 & 12

New features

Distinct with Relations

distinct() queries now return ElasticCollections;

If a model relation exists and the aggregation is done on the foreign key, you can load the related model

UserLog::where('created_at', '>=', Carbon::now()->subDays(30))
    ->with('user')
    ->orderByDesc('_count')
    ->select('user_id')
    ->distinct(true);

Why: You can now treat distinct aggregations like real Eloquent results, including relationships.

Bulk Distinct Queries

New query method bulkDistinct(array $fields, $includeDocCount = false) - Docs

Run multiple distinct aggregations in parallel within a single Elasticsearch query.

$top3 = UserSession::where('created_at', '>=', Carbon::now()->subDays(30))
    ->limit(3)
    ->bulkDistinct(['country', 'device', 'browser_name'], true);

Why: Massive performance gains vs running sequential distinct queries.

Group By Ranges

groupByRanges() performs a range aggregation on the specified field. - Docs

groupByRanges()->get() - return bucketed results - Docs

groupByRanges()->agg() - apply metric aggregations per bucket -Docs

Group By Date Ranges

groupByDateRanges() performs a date range aggregation on the specified field. - Docs

groupByDateRanges()->get() - bucketed date ranges

groupByDateRanges()->agg() - metrics per date bucket

Model Meta Accessor

New model method getMetaValue($key) - Docs

Convenience method to get a specific meta value from the model instance.

$product = Product::where('color', 'green')->first();
$score = $product->getMetaValue('score');

Bucket Values in Meta

When a bucketed query is executed, the raw bucket data is now stored in model meta. -Docs

$products = Product::distinct('price');
$buckets = $products->map(function ($product) {
    return $product->getMetaValue('bucket');
});

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.2.0...v5.3.0

This release is compatible with Laravel 10, 11 & 12

New Feature: Query String Queries

This release introduces Query String Queries, bringing full Elasticsearch query_string syntax support directly into your Eloquent-style queries.

• Method: searchQueryString(query, $fields = null, $options = []) and related methods (orSearchQueryString, searchNotQueryString, etc.)
• Supports all query_string features - logical operators, wildcards, fuzziness, ranges, regex, boosting, field scoping, and more
• Includes a dedicated QueryStringOptions class for fluent option configuration or array-based parameters
• See Tests
• Full documentation

Example:

Product::searchQueryString('status:(active OR pending) name:(full text search)^2')->get();
Product::searchQueryString('price:[5 TO 19}')->get();

// vanilla optional, +pizza required, -ice forbidden
Product::searchQueryString('vanilla +pizza -ice', function (QueryStringOptions $options) {
    $options->type('cross_fields')->fuzziness(2);
})->get();

//etc

Ordering enhancement: unmapped_type

• You can now add an unmapped_type flag to your ordering query #88

Product::query()->orderBy('name', 'desc', ['unmapped_type' => 'keyword'])->get();

Bugfix

• Fixed issue where limit values were being reset on bucket aggregations #84

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.1.0...v5.2.0

This release is compatible with Laravel 10, 11 & 12

1. New feature, withTrackTotalHits(bool|int|null $val = true)

Appends the track_total_hits parameter to the DSL query, setting value to true will count all the hits embedded in the query meta not capping to Elasticsearch default of 10k hits

$products = Product::limit(5)->withTrackTotalHits(true)->get();
$totalHits = $products->getQueryMeta()->getTotalHits();

This can be set by default for all queries by updating the connection config in database.php:

'elasticsearch' => [
    'driver' => 'elasticsearch',
    .....
    'options' => [
        'track_total_hits' => env('ES_TRACK_TOTAL_HITS', null),
        ....
    ],
],

2. New feature, createOrFail(array $attributes)

By default, when using create($attributes) where $attributes has an id that exists, the operation will upsert. createOrFail will throw a BulkInsertQueryException with status code 409 if the id exists

Product::createOrFail([
    'id' => 'some-existing-id',
    'name' => 'Blender',
    'price' => 30,
]);

3. New feature withRefresh(bool|string $refresh)

By default, inserting documents will wait for the shards to refresh, ie: withRefresh(true), you can set the refresh flag with the following (as per ES docs):

• true (default) Refresh the relevant primary and replica shards (not the whole index) immediately after the operation occurs, so that the updated document appears in search results immediately.
• wait_for Wait for the changes made by the request to be made visible by a refresh before replying. This doesn’t force an immediate refresh, rather, it waits for a refresh to happen.
• false Take no refresh-related actions. The changes made by this request will be made visible at some point after the request returns.

Product::withRefresh('wait_for')->create([
    'name' => 'Blender',
    'price' => 30,
]);

What's changed

1. New feature, bulkInsert()

bulkInsert() is identical to insert() but will continue on errors and return an array of the results.

People::bulkInsert([
    [

    ],
    [
        'name' => 'John Doe',  // Will Create
        'status' => 2,
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'John Dope',
        'status' => 3,
        'created_at' => 'xxxxxx', // Will fail
    ],
]);

Returns:

{
  "hasErrors": true,
  "total": 3,
  "took": 0,
  "success": 2,
  "created": 1,
  "modified": 1,
  "failed": 1,

  ]
}

2. Bug fix: distinct() aggregation now appends searchAfter key in meta

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.0.1...v5.0.2

This release is compatible with Laravel 10, 11 & 12

What's changed

• Updated model docs for comprehensive IDE support when building queries
• Added orderByNestedDesc()
• Removed & replaced compatibility-loader that depended on class_alias to set the correct traits for the given Laravel version

Full Changelog: https://github.com/pdphilip/laravel-elasticsearch/compare/v5.0.0...v5.0.1

We’re excited to announce v5 of the laravel-elasticsearch package - compatible with Laravel 10, 11, and 12.

Acknowledgement

V5 is the brainchild of @use-the-fork and is a near-complete rewrite of the package; packed with powerful new features, deep integration with Elasticsearch’s full capabilities, and a much tighter alignment with Laravel’s Eloquent. It lays a solid, future-proof foundation for everything that comes next.

Upgrading

• Please take a look at the upgrade guide carefully, as there are several significant breaking changes.

• New features are detailed here

"pdphilip/elasticsearch": "^5",

Breaking Changes

1. Connection

• Index Prefix Handling The ES_INDEX_PREFIX no longer auto-appends an underscore (_). Old behavior: ES_INDEX_PREFIX=my_prefix → my_prefix_ New: set explicitly if needed → ES_INDEX_PREFIX=my_prefix_

2. Models

• Model ID Field $model->_id is deprecated. Use $model->id instead. If your model had a separate id field, you must rename it.

• Default Limit Constant MAX_SIZE constant is removed. Use $defaultLimit property:

  use PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\Eloquent\Model;
  
  class Product extends Model
  {
      protected $defaultLimit = 10000;
      protected $connection = 'elasticsearch';
  }
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

3. Queries

• where() Behavior Changed

  Now uses term query instead of match.

  // Old:
  Product::where('name', 'John')->get(); // match query
  // New:
  Product::whereMatch('name', 'John')->get(); // match query
  Product::where('name', 'John')->get();      // term query
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• orderByRandom() Removed

  Replace with functionScore() Docs

• Full-text Search Options Updated Methods like asFuzzy(), setMinShouldMatch(), setBoost() removed. Use callback-based SearchOptions instead:

  Product::searchTerm('espresso time', function (SearchOptions $options) {
        $options->searchFuzzy();
      $options->boost(2);
        $options->minimumShouldMatch(2);
  })->get();
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Legacy Search Methods Removed All {xx}->search() methods been removed. Use {multi_match}->get() instead.

4. Distinct & GroupBy

• distinct() and groupBy() behavior updated. Docs

  Review queries using them and refactor accordingly.

5. Schema

• IndexBlueprint and AnalyzerBlueprint has been removed and replaced with a single Blueprint class

  -   use PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\Schema\IndexBlueprint;
  -   use PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\Schema\AnalyzerBlueprint;
  use PDPhilip\Elasticsearch\Schema\Blueprint;
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Schema::hasIndex has been removed. Use Schema::hasTable or Schema::indexExists instead.

• geo($field) field property has been replaced with geoPoint($field)

• {field}->index($bool) field property has been replaced with {field}->indexField($bool);

• alias() field type has been removed. Use aliasField() instead.
