Doctrine Search
Note: This project is a prototype at the moment. See demo folder for practical implementation example.
Supported search engines
- ElasticSearch (functional)
- Solr (partial implementation)
Features
- SearchManager
- Can be used stand-alone or in a hybrid configuration
- Configurable search manager supports aggregate entity manager
- supports direct API calls through search engine adapters such as Elastica
- transforms returned ID's via batch operation into hydrated objects as required
- Supports event manager listeners for customizable entity handling
- Support for indexing through event listeners via JMS Serializer or simple entity callback.
- Annotations for index and data type creation using ObjectManager::getClassMetadata() as the base structure
#Usage#
Configuration
The search manager connection can be configured as shown in the following example:
$config = new Doctrine\Search\Configuration();
$config->setMetadataCacheImpl(new Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache());
$config->setEntitySerializer(
new Doctrine\Search\Serializer\JMSSerializer(
JMS\Serializer\SerializationContext::create()->setGroups('search')
)
);
$eventManager = new Doctrine\Search\EventManager();
$eventManager->addListener($listener);
$searchManager = new Doctrine\Search\SearchManager(
$config,
new Doctrine\Search\ElasticSearch\Client(
new Elastica\Client(array(
array('host' => 'localhost', 'port' => '9200')
)
),
$eventManager
);Mappings
Basic entity mappings for index and type generation can be annotated as shown in the following example. Mappings can be rendered into a format suitable for automatically generating indexes and types using a build script (advanced setup required).
<?php
namespace Entities;
use Doctrine\Search\Mapping\Annotations as MAP;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\Entity
* @MAP\ElasticSearchable(index="indexname", type="post", source=true)
*/
class Post
{
/**
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
* @MAP\ElasticField(type="integer", includeInAll=false)
*/
private $id;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string")
* @MAP\ElasticField(type="string", includeInAll=true, boost=5.0)
*/
private $title;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="text")
* @MAP\ElasticField(type="string", includeInAll=true)
*/
private $content;
/**
* @MAP\ElasticField(name="tags", type="string", includeInAll=false, index="not_analyzed")
*/
public function getTags() {
return $this->tags->slice(0,3);
}
}Indexing
Documents can be serialized for indexing currently in the following ways. If required an event listener can be used with your ORM as shown in this example. If an event listener is not needed, entities can be persisted or removed directly using the search manager.
<?php
namespace Entities\Listener;
use Doctrine\ORM\Event\LifecycleEventArgs;
use Entities\Behaviour\SearchableEntityInterface;
class SearchableListener implements
{
protected function getSearchManager() {
return $this->getDatabaseConnection('elasticsearch');
}
public function postPersist(LifecycleEventArgs $oArgs) {
$oEntity = $oArgs->getEntity();
if($oEntity instanceof SearchableEntityInterface) {
$this->getSearchManager()->persist($oEntity);
}
}
public function postRemove(LifecycleEventArgs $oArgs) {
$oEntity = $oArgs->getEntity();
if($oEntity instanceof SearchableEntityInterface) {
$this->getSearchManager()->remove($oEntity);
}
}
}CallbackSerializer
This approach simply expects a toArray() method on the entity, although this method be configured as required.
The interface suggested in this example can be any interface you desire, as long as your event listener can identify
entities that need to be persisted to the search engine (see above example).
...
use Entities\Behaviour\SearchableEntityInterface
class Post implements SearchableEntityInterface
{
...
public function toArray() {
return array(
'id' => $this->id,
'title' => $this->title,
'content' => $this->content
...
);
}
}JMS Serializer
You can alternatively use the advanced serialization power of the JMS Serializer to automatically handle
serialization for you based on annotations such as those shown in this example.
...
use JMS\Serializer\Annotation as JMS;
use Entities\Behaviour\SearchableEntityInterface
/**
* @ORM\Entity
* @MAP\ElasticSearchable(index="indexname", type="post", source=true)
* @JMS\ExclusionPolicy("all")
*/
class Post implements SearchableEntityInterface
{
...
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string")
* @MAP\ElasticField(type="string", includeInAll=true, boost=5.0)
* @JMS\Expose
* @JMS\Groups({"public", "search"})
*/
private $title;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="text")
* @MAP\ElasticField(type="string", includeInAll=true)
* @JMS\Expose
* @JMS\Groups({"public", "search"})
*/
private $content;
...
}AnnotationSerializer

Queries
Queries can be executed through the search manager as shown below. Use of the result cache refers to using the
cache for the hydration query. Search engine specific adapter interfaces are exposed magically so as in this
example, Elastica\Query::addSort method is amalgamated with Doctrine\Search\Query methods. Thus any complexity
of query supported by the search engine client library is supported.
$hydrationQuery = $entityManager->createQueryBuilder()
->select(array('p', 'field(p.id, :ids) as HIDDEN field'))
->from('Entities\Post', 'p')
->where('p.id IN (:ids)')
->orderBy('field')
->getQuery();
$query = $searchManager->createQuery()
->from('Entities\Post')
->searchWith(new Elastica\Query())
->hydrateWith($hydrationQuery)
->addSort('_score')
->setFrom(0)
->setLimit(10)
->getResult();Simple Repository ID queries and Term search can by done using the following technique. Deserialization is done
independently of Doctrine\ORM but the same models are hydrated according to the registered SerializerInterface.
$entity = $searchManager->getRepository('Entities\Post')->find($id);
$entity = $searchManager->getRepository('Entities\Post')->findOneBy(array($key => $term));
