Scout Advanced Meilisearch

What this package provides

Extended scout query builder

Added next changes to the basic query builder:

1. where('column', '<=', $value) - extended where, which supports 3 optional parameters for comparison. Two parameters are also allowed.
2. where(Clusure $query) - where can take a closure as the first parameter in order to group queries (the same for orWhere)
3. whereBetween('column', [$value1, $value2])
4. whereNotIn('column', [$value1, $value2, $value3])
5. All where clauses have or variant: orWhere, orWhereIn, etc

Two scout drivers

The drivers are compatible with the new scout builder.

• meilisearch_advanced
• collection_advanced

meilisearch_advanced

Uses all the advantages of meilisearch for comparison the results, searching in indexed arrays. Also fixes an issue with the calculation of the total number of values. (The current implementation requests the entire dataset in case scout builder has ->query() method used)

collection_advanced

The driver imitates how meilisearch work and completely relies on collections. It should be used only for tests as the whole searchable models data is in memory. The driver allows testing filtering and sorting as well as Extended scout builder features.

How to use?

1. In config/scout.php set 'driver' to meilisearch_advanced or collection_advanced (for tests)
