How to refresh indexes in Laravel Scout

Question

I'm using Laravel to show a list of items from a database (SQL Server) that will be updated by another piece of software. So, with Laravel I only show items, without the insert, update or remove features.

I'm using Laravel Scout with TNTSearch ( https://github.com/teamtnt/laravel-scout-tntsearch-driver ) for searching in the list of items. The problem is, how can I refresh the index every time there is a change in the database table?

Answer 1

I have made a package that will refresh every model anywhere in your application using Scouts scout:flush and scout:import command

Check the indices you have,for example elasticsearch

curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'

health status index    uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open   statuses GBNC5c4jQiqgNqBMEGJJJw   1   1          1            0      5.7kb          5.7kb
yellow open   users    Sndfs-KeQWeK6zv5p8BEpw   1   1         52            7     72.6kb         72.6kb

Delete the desired index

curl -XDELETE 'localhost:9200/statuses'

Reimport the data

php artisan scout:import "App\Status"

Another shorcut for delete is

php artisan scout:flush "App\Status"
