| 2 | +== Getting started |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This page guides you through the installation process of the PHP client, shows |
| 5 | +you how to instantiate the client, and how to perform basic Elasticsearch |
| 6 | +operations with it. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +[discrete] |
| 9 | +=== Requirements |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +* TO DO |
| 12 | +* http://getcomposer.org[composer] |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +If you don't have composer you can install it by running the following commands: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +[source,shell] |
| 17 | +-------------------------- |
| 18 | +curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php |
| 19 | +php composer.phar install |
| 20 | +-------------------------- |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +[discrete] |
| 24 | +=== Installation |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +To install the latest version of the client, run the following command: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +[source,shell] |
| 29 | +-------------------------- |
| 30 | +composer require elasticsearch/elasticsearch |
| 31 | +-------------------------- |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +When you have installed elasticsearch-php you can start using it with the |
| 34 | +`Client` class. You can use the `ClientBuilder` class to create this object: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +[source,php] |
| 37 | +-------------------------- |
| 38 | +require 'vendor/autoload.php'; |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | +$client = Elastic\Elasticsearch\ClientBuilder::create()->build(); |
| 41 | +-------------------------- |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Refer to the <<installation>> page to learn more. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +[discrete] |
| 47 | +=== Connecting |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +You can connect to the Elastic Cloud using an API key and the Elasticsearch |
| 50 | +endpoint. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +[source,php] |
| 53 | +---- |
| 54 | +$client = ClientBuilder::create() |
| 55 | + ->setElasticsearchEndpoint('<elasticsearch-endpoint>') |
| 56 | + ->setApiKey('<api-key>') |
| 57 | + ->build(); |
| 58 | +---- |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Your Elasticsearch endpoint can be found on the **My deployment** page of your |
| 61 | +deployment: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +image::images/es_endpoint.jpg[alt="Finding Elasticsearch endpoint",align="center"] |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +You can generate an API key on the **Management** page under Security. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +image::images/create_api_key.png[alt="Create API key",align="center"] |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +For other connection options, refer to the <<connecting>> section. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +[discrete] |
| 73 | +=== Operations |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Time to use Elasticsearch! This section walks you through the basic, and most |
| 76 | +important, operations of Elasticsearch. For more operations and more advanced |
| 77 | +examples, refer to the <<operations>> page. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +[discrete] |
| 81 | +==== Creating an index |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +This is how you create the `my_index` index: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +[source,php] |
| 86 | +---- |
| 87 | +$client = ClientBuilder::create()->build(); |
| 88 | +$params = [ |
| 89 | + 'index' => 'my_index' |
| 90 | +]; |
| 91 | +
|
| 92 | +// Create the index |
| 93 | +$response = $client->indices()->create($params); |
| 94 | +---- |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +[discrete] |
| 98 | +==== Indexing documents |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +This is a simple way of indexing a document: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +[source,php] |
| 103 | +---- |
| 104 | +$params = [ |
| 105 | + 'index' => 'my_index', |
| 106 | + 'body' => [ 'testField' => 'abc'] |
| 107 | +]; |
| 108 | +
|
| 109 | +// Document will be indexed to my_index/_doc/<autogenerated ID> |
| 110 | +$response = $client->index($params); |
| 111 | +---- |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +You can bulk index documents with batches in a slightly more complex way: |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +.Bulk indexing with batches |
| 116 | +[source,php] |
| 117 | +---- |
| 118 | +$params = ['body' => []]; |
| 119 | +
|
| 120 | +for ($i = 1; $i <= 1234567; $i++) { |
| 121 | + $params['body'][] = [ |
| 122 | + 'index' => [ |
| 123 | + '_index' => 'my_index', |
| 124 | + '_id' => $i |
| 125 | + ] |
| 126 | + ]; |
| 127 | +
|
| 128 | + $params['body'][] = [ |
| 129 | + 'my_field' => 'my_value', |
| 130 | + 'second_field' => 'some more values' |
| 131 | + ]; |
| 132 | +
|
| 133 | + // Every 1000 documents stop and send the bulk request |
| 134 | + if ($i % 1000 == 0) { |
| 135 | + $responses = $client->bulk($params); |
| 136 | +
|
| 137 | + // erase the old bulk request |
| 138 | + $params = ['body' => []]; |
| 139 | +
|
| 140 | + // unset the bulk response when you are done to save memory |
| 141 | + unset($responses); |
| 142 | + } |
| 143 | +} |
| 144 | +
|
| 145 | +// Send the last batch if it exists |
| 146 | +if (!empty($params['body'])) { |
| 147 | + $responses = $client->bulk($params); |
| 148 | +} |
| 149 | +---- |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +[discrete] |
| 153 | +==== Getting documents |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +You can get documents by using the following code: |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +[source,php] |
| 158 | +---- |
| 159 | +$params = [ |
| 160 | + 'index' => 'my_index', |
| 161 | + 'id' => 'my_id' |
| 162 | +]; |
| 163 | +
|
| 164 | +// Get doc at /my_index/_doc/my_id |
| 165 | +$response = $client->get($params); |
| 166 | +---- |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +[discrete] |
| 170 | +==== Searching documents |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +This is how you can create a single match query with the PHP client: |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +[source,php] |
| 175 | +---- |
| 176 | +$params = [ |
| 177 | + 'index' => 'my_index', |
| 178 | + 'body' => [ |
| 179 | + 'query' => [ |
| 180 | + 'match' => [ |
| 181 | + 'testField' => 'abc' |
| 182 | + ] |
| 183 | + ] |
| 184 | + ] |
| 185 | +]; |
| 186 | +
|
| 187 | +$results = $client->search($params); |
| 188 | +---- |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +[discrete] |
| 192 | +==== Updating documents |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +This is how you can update a document, for example to add a new field: |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +[source,php] |
| 197 | +---- |
| 198 | +$params = [ |
| 199 | + 'index' => 'my_index', |
| 200 | + 'id' => 'my_id', |
| 201 | + 'body' => [ |
| 202 | + 'doc' => [ |
| 203 | + 'new_field' => 'abc' |
| 204 | + ] |
| 205 | + ] |
| 206 | +]; |
| 207 | +
|
| 208 | +// Update doc at /my_index/_doc/my_id |
| 209 | +$response = $client->update($params); |
| 210 | +---- |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +[discrete] |
| 214 | +==== Deleting documents |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +[source,php] |
| 217 | +---- |
| 218 | +$params = [ |
| 219 | + 'index' => 'my_index', |
| 220 | + 'id' => 'my_id' |
| 221 | +]; |
| 222 | +
|
| 223 | +// Delete doc at /my_index/_doc_/my_id |
| 224 | +$response = $client->delete($params); |
| 225 | +---- |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +[discrete] |
| 229 | +==== Deleting an index |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +[source,php] |
| 232 | +---- |
| 233 | +$params = ['index' => 'my_index']; |
| 234 | +$response = $client->indices()->delete($params); |
| 235 | +---- |
| 236 | + |
