Meilitools offers advanced Meilisearch index features in Laravel Scout
Published on by Paul Redmond
Laravel Meilitools provides additional tools for Laravel Scout 9+ integration with MeiliSearch. This package aims to open the possibility of using advanced filtering easily and sorting through Laravel Scout without manually diving into the internals of the Meilisearch API.
Here's an example from the package's readme of setting up indexes for a model by implementing the MeiliSettings
interface:
use Dwarf\MeiliTools\Contracts\Indexes\MeiliSettings;use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;use Laravel\Scout\Searchable; class Article extends Model implements MeiliSettings{ use Searchable; /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public function meiliSettings(): array { return ['filterableAttributes' => ['status']]; }}
This package also includes useful Artisan commands for things like getting the details of an index, resetting the settings of an index, and more.
