README

A Laravel package for seamless integration with Apache Solr, providing easy-to-use commands for core management and a fluent interface for Solr operations.

Features

• Create, update, and delete Solr cores via artisan commands
• Manage Solr fields with parent-child relationships
• Fluent query builder interface for Solr searches
• Support for parent-child document relationships
• Cross-collection joins
• Faceted search capabilities
• Complete test coverage

Installation

composer require haiderjabbar/laravelsolr:dev-main

Add the service provider to your config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    HaiderJabbar\LaravelSolr\LaravelSolrServiceProvider::class,
];

You should publish the config/solr.php config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="HaiderJabbar\LaravelSolr\LaravelSolrServiceProvider"

Available Commands

# Create a new Solr core and migration file
php artisan solr:create-core coreName

# Update a Solr core with a new name
php artisan solr:update-core

# Delete a Solr core and its migration file
php artisan solr:delete-core coreName

# Create new Solr fields with optional parent and fields
php artisan solr:create-fields coreName

# Update existing Solr core fields
php artisan solr:update-fields

# Delete fields from a Solr core
php artisan solr:delete-fields

Basic Usage

Adding Documents

use HaiderJabbar\LaravelSolr\Models\SolrModel;

$coreName = 'your_core_name';
$data = [
    'id' => 'unique_id',
    'name' => 'document_name',
    // ... other fields
];

$result = SolrModel::addDocument($coreName, $data);

Updating Documents

$result = SolrModel::updateDocument($coreName, $data);

Deleting Documents

$result = SolrModel::deleteDocumentById($coreName, $id);

Parent-Child Document Operations

// Add child documents to a parent
$result = SolrModel::addChildToParent($coreName, $parentId, "child", $childData);

Controller Example

use HaiderJabbar\LaravelSolr\Services\SolrQueryBuilder;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use HaiderJabbar\LaravelSolr\Models\SolrModel;


class SolrController extends Controller
{
    public function addDocument(Request $request)
    {
        $coreName = 'testCore';
        $data = [
            'id' => 1,
            'name' => 'name'
        ];
    
        $result = SolrModel::addDocument($coreName, $data);
    
        return $result
            ? response()->json(['message' => 'Document added successfully'])
            : response()->json(['message' => 'Failed to add document'], 500);
    }

    public function addChildDocument(Request $request, $parentId)
    {
        $coreName = 'testCore';
        $childData = $request->input('childData');
        
        $result = SolrModel::addChildToParent($coreName, $parentId, "child", $childData);

        if ($result) {
            return response()->json(['message' => 'Child documents added successfully']);
        }
        return response()->json(['message' => 'Failed to add child documents'], 500);
    }
}

Query Builder

laravelsolr provides a powerful and fluent interface for building Solr queries through the SolrQueryBuilder class:

Basic Usage

use HaiderJabbar\LaravelSolr\Services\SolrQueryBuilder;

$builder = new SolrQueryBuilder($coreName);

Search Methods

// Basic search
$builder->search('field', '=', 'value', $boost);

// OR search condition
$builder->orSearch('field', 'value', $boost);

// Where clause
$builder->where('field', '=', 'value', $priority);

// OR where clause
$builder->orWhere('field', '=', 'value', $priority);

// WHERE IN clause
$builder->whereIn('field', ['value1', 'value2']);

// Filter (fq parameter)
$builder->filter('field', '=', 'value');

Available operators:

• = Exact match
• != Not equal
• < Less than
• > Greater than
• <= Less than or equal
• >= Greater than or equal
• like Contains
• in In array of values

Sorting and Pagination

$builder
    ->sort('field asc')    // Add sorting
    ->start(0)             // Starting offset (pagination)
    ->rows(10);            // Number of rows to return

Field Selection

$builder->fl(['field1', 'field2', 'score']); // Select specific fields to return

Parent-Child Document Queries

// Get parent with child
$builder
    ->whereParent('id', '=', 'parent_id', 20)
    ->returnBothParentAndChild()
    ->get();

// Get only children
$builder
    ->whereParent('id', '=', 'parent_id', 20)
    ->returnOnlyChild()
    ->fl(['*', 'score'])
    ->get();

// Get parent only
$builder
    ->whereParent('id', '=', 'parent_id', 20)
    ->returnOnlyParent()
    ->get();

// Query where parent and child
$builder
    ->whereParent('id', '=', 'parent_id', 20)
    ->whereChild('childId', '=', 'child_id', 20)
    ->get();

Cross-Collection Joins

// Simple join
$builder->crossCollectionJoin(
    'otherCore',           // From index
    'fromField',          // Field in from index
    'toField',            // Field in current index
    'field:value'         // Optional query
);

// Complex join with conditions
$builder->whereJoin('otherCore', 'fromField', 'toField', function($q) {
    $q->where('field1', '=', 'value1')
      ->where('field2', '=', 'value2');
});

// Cross collection join example
$result = $builder
    ->whereParent('id', '=', 'parent_id', 20)
    ->whereJoin('otherCore', 'id', 'id', function ($q) {
        $q->where("id", "=", "value1", 20)
         ->where("id", "=", "value2", 20);
    })
    ->returnBothParentAndChild()
    ->getWithJoinedDocuments("otherCore", "id", "id");

Faceted Search

// Basic faceted search
$builder
    ->facet(true)
    ->facetFields(['field1', 'field2'])
    ->get();

// Complex faceted search
$builder
    ->whereParent('id', '=', 'parent_id', 20)
    ->whereChild('childId', '=', 'child_id', 20)
    ->facetFields(['id'])
    ->facet(true)
    ->fl(['*', 'score'])
    ->get();

Query Execution

// Basic query execution
$results = $builder->get();

// Get results with facets
$results = $builder->getWithFacets();

// Get results with joined documents
$results = $builder->getWithJoinedDocuments('otherCore', 'fromId', 'toId');

Complete Example

$builder = new SolrQueryBuilder($coreName);

$results = $builder
    ->whereParent('category', '=', 'electronics', 20)
    ->whereChild('price', '>=', 100)
    ->facet(true)
    ->facetFields(['brand', 'color'])
    ->sort('price desc')
    ->start(0)
    ->rows(20)
    ->fl(['id', 'name', 'price', 'score'])
    ->returnBothParentAndChild()
    ->get();
