laravel algolia send only specific fields

Question

Is there a way with laravel and algolia package to update to the index not ALL the fields but only the ones i need?

Answer 1

You can use getAlgoliaRecord() method in your model and return array from it with attributes you want to index.

Example:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Contact extends Model
{
    use AlgoliaEloquentTrait;

    public function getAlgoliaRecord()
    {
        return [
            'indexedAttribute' => $this->indexedAttribute, 
            'otherIindexedAttribute' => $this->otherIindexedAttribute, 
            'nextIndexedAttribute' => $this->nextIndexedAttribute, 
        ];
    }
}
