Meilisearch Integration in Laravel - Step by Step

Step 1: Install Laravel Scout


-----------------------------------
Install Laravel Scout via composer:
composer require laravel/scout

Step 2: Install Meilisearch PHP SDK


-----------------------------------
Install the official Meilisearch Laravel Scout driver:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php
composer require meilisearch/scout-meilisearch-driver

Step 3: Configure .env file


-----------------------------------
Add these lines to your .env:
SCOUT_DRIVER=meilisearch
MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:7700
MEILISEARCH_KEY=your_meilisearch_master_key

Step 4: Publish Scout Config (optional)


-----------------------------------
Publish the configuration file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider"

Step 5: Set Up Your Model


-----------------------------------
Use the Searchable trait in your model (e.g., Product.php):

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;

class Product extends Model


{
use Searchable;

public function toSearchableArray()


{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'name' => $this->name,
'description' => $this->description,
];
}
}

Step 6: Import Your Data into Meilisearch


-----------------------------------
Import existing records:
php artisan scout:import "App\\Models\\Product"

Step 7: Using the Search in Controller


-----------------------------------
Search example:
use App\Models\Product;
$products = Product::search('phone')->get();

Step 8: (Optional) Use Queue for Better Performance


-----------------------------------
Set in .env:
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
SCOUT_QUEUE=true

Run the queue:


php artisan queue:work

Step 9: (Optional) Customize Search Settings


-----------------------------------
Customize search example:
Product::search('phone')
->within('products')
->orderBy('price', 'asc')
->get();
