MongoDB (not MongoDB Atlas) engine for the Laravel Scout search.

Installation

composer require qrstuff/scout-mongodb

Usage

Before following this guide, make sure you have installed and set up laravel/scout in your project already.

In your config/database.php, add the mongodb connection:

return [

    // other stuff

    'connections' => [

        // other stuff

        'mongodb' => [
            'driver' => 'mongodb',
            'dsn' => env('MONGODB_URL'),
            'database' => env('MONGODB_DATABASE', 'example'),
        ],

    ],

    // other stuff

];

In your config/scout.php, add the mongodb definition:

return [

    // other stuff

    'mongodb' => [
        'connection' => env('SCOUT_MONGODB_CONNECTION', 'mongodb'),
        'index-settings' => [
            // App\Models\User::class => [
            //     'searchableAttributes'=> ['name', 'email', 'phone'],
            //     'filterableAttributes'=> [['country' => 1]], // 1 = ASC, 2 = DESC
            // ],
        ],
    ],

    // other stuff

];

Then add the Searchable trait your model classes as follows:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;

class Customer extends Model
{
    use Searchable; // include the trait
}

You can now search across your models as below:

use App\Models\Customer;

$customersInIndia = Customer::search('vpz')->where('country', 'IN')->get();
