I've gotten my model data into Algolia by using having a large transformation occur in my model.
I'd like to move this into a custom transformer now as I refactor.
Algolia has this article https://www.algolia.com/doc/framework-integration/laravel/indexing/configure-searchable-data/?client=php#writing-custom-transformers but it doesn't explain the transformer service class. Has anyone done this before?

I'm aplying DDD in Laravel.
In this architecture, the entity (conformed by the corresponding value objects) is not a Laravel Model extended class (because the domain layer needs to be agnostic to the infrastructure)
So... when I retrieve some data inside the repository implementation, the result is a stdclass object, and I need to return it as the entity object.
Anybody knows the best approach to do this?
Thanks!
To get this, I tried to convert from stdclass to entity by manual, but it's look hacky and dirty.
Ok, got it.
I found two different approaches, just in case others are fighting with the same problem.
Option 1: Embracing the Eloquent Active Record.
Inside the infrastructure layer, I created a Eloquent model to represent the Entity, and I use it as a vehicule for eloquent queries. Like this, all the conection with the framework stay contained in the infrastructure, without polluting other layers.
Option 2: Apply Doctrine in Laravel.
Doctrine has a package for laravel. Doctrine, as occurs in Synfony, is using data mapping, so no worries with that.
Thanks anyway!
I have been using Laravel for a couple weeks now and I love the framework. However, with models is there any actual robust system? Creating models, like the user model, just seems to be string arrays of what you do and do not want modified in queries. The place I see validation of the models is in the controller (through $this->validate()) and/or migrations creating the tables.
I just wanted to know if there is a certain place I am missing or not implementing. My brain is referencing something like ASP.NET's decorators that add validation to data models. Thank you!
I'm using Laravel and I'm wondering, is it possible to create a join, and then import that result as an Indice into Algolia for Searching? I know that Algolia imports models, so I'm not sure if there's a way this can be done. I'm using Laravel Scout and Algolia for search and Vue js for my front-end. This would solve the problem that I am having.
Thanks in advance.
You can try to customize the searchable data that is synchronized to Algolia by specifying toSearchableArray() method on the model. In that method, you can pass in the model and relation (whichever model you want to join with) data. More info:

I can't find any good plugins for a live search using Laravel, does one exist? I've found a few jQuery autocomplete plugins but I'm looking for something like this: https://github.com/iranianpep/ajax-live-search
I tried implementing the above yesterday (for about 10 hours) and couldn't get it to work due to the MySQL queries they use vs Laravel's implementation
any thoughts or information is appreciated
I also tried using a large Laravel query to receive data (I want to search more than one column) but using the
User::where('name', 'like', $query)->orWhere('username', 'like', $query)->etc.
format didn't even match the name for me. Is there such a thing as a more advanced algorithm to search?
Thanks
Zach
Laravel Scout is your answer.
Laravel Scout provides a simple, driver based solution for adding full-text search to your Eloquent models. Using model observers, Scout will automatically keep your search indexes in sync with your Eloquent records.
Currently, Scout ships with an Algolia driver; however, writing custom drivers is simple and you are free to extend Scout with your own search implementations.
I would personally recommend Algolia as well, as it is very sophisticated, has a free entry level, and is better than any search you could come up with by yourself.
You can set the ranking yourself in their backend, it will regard typos made in your search, and so much more. Plus it is cloud powered!
With Laravel Scout any searching is made a breeze just like:
$users = App\User::search('Chris')->get();
What's really cool:
$users = App\User::search('Chrs')->get();
Both $users return the same results. Even with a typo.
For more information you can read up in the official Laravel Scout documentation.
If you are a member of Laracasts, check out these screencasts. And even if you are not, it's really cheap and you will learn a lot on Laravel Scout and live search!
I'm confused as to what models are and do in Laravel. I've tried to find some explanations but couldn't find any.
Can someone briefly explain what models are, when I would use them, and why I should use them?
More so, what are fillable and guarded attributes? I don't find they're very well explained in the docs.
For example, I have a table in my database, called login_log, that contains all login attempts. Would I create a model for this? Why?
Model is represented by M when you talk about MVC which stands for Model, View and Controller.
In Laravel Model is simply your database table object. This allows you to interact with your database tables as if they are PHP objects or classes.
Fillable property is used to tell laravel to allow mass assignment for the listed fields
while Guard property is the opposite of fillable
Laravel documentation is the best documentation so far.
See this Links to Understand well : Mass Assignment in Eloquent ORM for Laravel 4.2
Suggestions:
If you are newbie in Laravel, as I am Android Application Developer
i've find solution and understood too.
You have to learn documentation before putting question.
As MVC stands for Model View Controller, Model Deals with Database for example controller ask to Model to give me the first names of Students from the student table an d then controller pass it to the view.
