README

This package provides a simple way to prevent indexing certain model fields when you using Laravel Scout.

By default, every time you save Eloquent model, saved event will fire. As result, MakeSearchable job will dispatch even if nothing changed in model (see Scout issue #285).

For example:

// Retrieving first entry from database
$model = User::first();
// Nothing changed here, saving model
$model->save();
// Database query not performed, but MakeSearchable job dispatched

Another case, when you only want to search model by some fields, for example by name and login. You change something another, but MakeSearchable job will dispatch:

// Retrieving first entry from database
$model = User::first();
// Changing email (NOT name or login)
$model->email = 'mail@example.com';
// Saving model
$model->save();
// email field updated, and MakeSearchable job dispatched even if we don't need to search by email

This package helps solve this issues in easy way.

Installing

You can install this package via Composer:

composer require catzilla/scout-noindex

Usage

In your model file simply replace Searchable trait with provided by this package.

Optional, you can use $index and $noindex properties to include or exclude fields from search syncing.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Catzilla\ScoutNoindex\Searchable;

class User extends Model
{
    use Searchable;
    
    /**
     * Array of fields to search.
     * When this property present in model, only this fields will be searchable
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $index = [
        'name',
        'login'
    ];
    
    /**
     * Array of fields to exclude from syncing.
     * When this property present in model, any changes in this fields will not trigger search syncing.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $noindex = [
        'email',
        'updated_at'
    ];
}
