Updates and Inserts

Inserts

When using elastic bridge, not only can we retrieve documents from our elastic index, we can also index new documents. Elastic bridge makes this super easy. To index a new document, just create an instance of the bridge class, set your attributes and call the save method on the bridge index.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Bridges\Log;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;


class LogController extends Controller 
{
    /**
     * Index a new log.
     */
    public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $log = new Log();
        
        $log->status = $request->status_code;
        $log->message = $request->message;
        
        $log->save();
        
        return response()->json([
            'message' => "log indexed successfully"
        ], 201);
    }
}

!!! tip Just as like elastic search, whenever you set the id on a new bridge instance, it will be set as the _id of the document

Alternatively you can use the create method to "index" a new document. both the save and create methods returns booleans.

<?php

use App\Bridges\Log;

Log::create([
    'status' => 500,
    'message' => 'this is a log message'
])

Updates

The save method may be used to update bridges that already exist in elasticsearch. To Update a bridge, you should first retrieve it and set the attributes you wish to update and then call the save method.

use App\Bridges\HotelRoom;

$room = HotelRoom::find(1);

$room->price = 50;

$room->save();

In addition, you can use the increment or decrement method to increase or decrease numeric fields for a bridge. Both these methods takes an optional second argument called counter with defaults to 1

use App\Bridges\HotelRoom;

$room = HotelRoom::find(1);

echo $room->price; // 50

// increase price by 3
$room->increment('price', 3)

echo $room->price; // 53

// decrease price by 1
$room->decrement('price');

echo $room->price; //52
