Generating Bridge Classes

To get started, create a bridge with the artisan make:bridge command. Bridges usually live in the App\Bridges directory. however, this can be changed through elasticbridge.namespace config.

php artisan make:bridge HotelRoom

Naming Conventions

Bridges generated by the make:bridge command will be placed in the app/Bridges directory. Here's a basic bridge class and some key conventions:

<?php

namespace App\Bridges;

use Lacasera\ElasticBridge\ElasticBridge;

class HotelRoom extends ElasticBridge 
{
    
}

Index Names

The example above is a bridge class for HotelRoom bridge. By convention, just like an eloquent model, the snake case, plural name of the class will be used as the index name unless another name is explicitly specified.

If your bridge's corresponding elastic search index does not fit this convention, you may manually specify the index name by defining an index property on the model:

<?php

namespace App\Bridges;

use Lacasera\ElasticBridge\ElasticBridge;

class HotelRoom extends ElasticBridge 
{
    protected $index = 'hotel-rooms';
}
