This Bundle provides a simple API to index and query a Solr Index.
Configuration
The bundle requires a working doctrine-orm or doctrine-mongodb configuration. There are no differences in the use.
Install the Bundle
Bundle
-
Register bundle in AppKernel.php
# app/AppKernel.php $bundles = array( // ... new FS\SolrBundle\FSSolrBundle(), // ... ); -
Add Bundle to autoload
A. Via composer, add in your composer.json
"require": { // ... "floriansemm/solr-bundle": "dev-master" }B. or manually, in app/autoload.php
i. In symfony 2.1.4 (supposing you clone the bundle in vendor/floriansemm/solr-bundle/FS/, making available vendor/floriansemm/solr-bundle/FS/SolrBundle/FSSolrBundle.php)
$loader->add('FS\\SolrBundle', array(__DIR__.'/../vendor/floriansemm/solr-bundle'));ii. in older version it could be
$loader->registerNamespaces(array( // ... 'FS' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles', // ... ));
Multiple Indexes
You have to setup the connection options
# app/config/config.yml
fs_solr:
endpoints:
default:
host: host
port: 8983
path: /solr/
core: corename
timeout: 5
With this config you have access to the service solr.client.default. If you have more client you can access them with the call solr.client.clientname
Usage
Annotations
To put an entity to the index, you must add some annotations to your entity:
// your Entity
// ....
use FS\SolrBundle\Doctrine\Annotation as Solr;
/**
* @Solr\Document(repository="Full\Qualified\Class\Name")
* @ORM\Table()
*/
class Post
{
/**
* @Solr\Id
*
* @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
private $id;
/**
*
* @Solr\Field(type="string")
*
* @ORM\Column(name="title", type="string", length=255)
*/
private $title = '';
/**
*
* @Solr\Field(type="string")
*
* @ORM\Column(name="text", type="text")
*/
private $text = '';
/**
* @Solr\Field(type="date")
*
* @ORM\Column(name="created_at", type="datetime")
*/
private $created_at = null;
}
Supported field types
Currently is a basic set of types implemented.
- string
- text
- date
- integer
- float
- double
- long
- boolean
It is possible to use custum field types (schema.xml).
Filter annotation
In some cases a entity should not be index. For this you have the SynchronizationFilter Annotation.
/**
* @Solr\Document
* @Solr\SynchronizationFilter(callback="shouldBeIndex")
*/
class SomeEntity
{
/**
* @return boolean
*/
public function shouldBeIndex()
{
// put your logic here
}
}
The callback property specifies an callable function, which decides whether the should index or not.
Specify cores
It is possible to specify a core dedicated to a document
/**
* @Solr\Document(index="core0")
*/
class SomeEntity
{
// ...
}
All documents will be indexed in the core core0. If your entities/document have different languages then you can setup
a callback method, which returns the preferred core for the entity.
/**
* @Solr\Document(indexHandler="indexHandler")
*/
class SomeEntity
{
public function indexHandler()
{
if ($this->language == 'en') {
return 'core0';
}
}
}
Each core must setup up in the config.yml under endpoints. If you leave the index or indexHandler property empty,
then a default core will be used (first in the endpoints list). To index a document in all cores use * as index value:
@Solr\Document(index="*")
Solr field configuration
Solr comes with a set of predefined field-name/field-types mapping:
- title (solr-type: general_text)
- text (solr-type: general_text)
- category (solr-type: general_text)
- content_type (solr-type: string)
For details have a look into your schema.xml.
So if you have an entity with a property "category", then you don't need a type-declaration in the annotation:
/**
* @Solr\Field
* @ORM\Column(name="category", type="text")
*/
private $category = '';
The field has in this case automaticaly the type "general_text".
If you persist this entity, it will put automaticlly to the index. Update and delete happens automatically too.
Query a field of a document
To query the index you have to call some services.
$query = $this->get('solr')->createQuery('AcmeDemoBundle:Post');
$query->addSearchTerm('title', 'my title');
$result = $result = $query->getResult();
The $result array contains all found entities. The solr-service does all mappings from SolrDocument to your entity for you.
Query all fields of a document
The pervious examples have queried only the field 'title'. You can also query all fields with a string.
$query = $this->get('solr')->createQuery('AcmeDemoBundle:Post');
$query->queryAllFields('my title');
$result = $query->getResult();
Define Result-Mapping
To narrow the mapping, you can use the addField() method.
$query = $this->get('solr')->createQuery('AcmeDemoBundle:Post');
$query->addSearchTerm('title', 'my title');
$query->addField('id');
$query->addField('text');
$result = $query->getResult();
In this case only the fields id and text will be mapped (addField()), so title and created_at will be empty. If nothing was found $result is empty.
Configure HydrationModes
HydrationMode tells the Bundle how to create an entity from a document.
-
FS\SolrBundle\Doctrine\Hydration\HydrationModes::HYDRATE_INDEX- use only the data from solr -
FS\SolrBundle\Doctrine\Hydration\HydrationModes::HYDRATE_DOCTRINE- merge the data from solr with the entire doctrine-entity
With a custom query:
$query = $this->get('solr')->createQuery('AcmeDemoBundle:Post');
$query->setHydrationMode($mode)
With a custom document-repository you have to set the property $hydrationMode itself:
public function find($id)
{
$this->hydrationMode = HydrationModes::HYDRATE_INDEX;
return parent::find($id);
}
Index manually an entity
To index your entities manually, you can do it the following way:
$this->get('solr')->addDocument($entity);
$this->get('solr')->updateDocument($entity);
$this->get('solr')->deleteDocument($entity);
deleteDocument() requires that the entity-id is set.
Use document repositories
If you specify your own repository you must extend the FS\SolrBundle\Repository\Repository class. The useage is the same
like Doctrine-Repositories:
$myRepository = $this->get('solr')->getRepository('AcmeDemoBundle:Post');
$result = $myRepository->mySpecialFindMethod();
If you haven't declared a concrete repository in your entity and you calling $this->get('solr')->getRepository('AcmeDemoBundle:Post'), you will
get an instance of FS\SolrBundle\Repository\Repository.
Commands
There are comming two commands with this bundle:
-
solr:index:clear- delete all documents in the index -
solr:synchronize- synchronize the db with the index
