## 📖 Documentation
See our [Documentation](https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/tutorials/getting_started.html) or our [API References](https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/api/).
## 🔧 Installation
To get started, simply require the project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
You will also need to install packages that "provide" [`psr/http-client-implementation`](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-client-implementation) and [`psr/http-factory-implementation`](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-factory-implementation).
A list with compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at [php-http.org](http://docs.php-http.org/en/latest/clients.html).
**If you don't know which HTTP client to use, we recommend using Guzzle 7**:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php guzzlehttp/guzzle http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
```
Here is an example of installation with the `symfony/http-client`:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
```
💡 *More HTTP client installations compatible with this package can be found [in this section](#-http-client-compatibilities).*
### Run Meilisearch
There are many easy ways to [download and run a Meilisearch instance](https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/features/installation.html#download-and-launch).
For example, using the `curl` command in your [Terminal](https://itconnect.uw.edu/learn/workshops/online-tutorials/web-publishing/what-is-a-terminal/):
```sh
#Install Meilisearch
curl -L https://install.meilisearch.com | sh
# Launch Meilisearch
./meilisearch --master-key=masterKey
```
NB: you can also download Meilisearch from **Homebrew** or **APT** or even run it using **Docker**.
## 🚀 Getting Started
#### Add documents
```php
index('movies');
$documents = [
['id' => 1, 'title' => 'Carol', 'genres' => ['Romance, Drama']],
['id' => 2, 'title' => 'Wonder Woman', 'genres' => ['Action, Adventure']],
['id' => 3, 'title' => 'Life of Pi', 'genres' => ['Adventure, Drama']],
['id' => 4, 'title' => 'Mad Max: Fury Road', 'genres' => ['Adventure, Science Fiction']],
['id' => 5, 'title' => 'Moana', 'genres' => ['Fantasy, Action']],
['id' => 6, 'title' => 'Philadelphia', 'genres' => ['Drama']],
];
# If the index 'movies' does not exist, Meilisearch creates it when you first add the documents.
$index->addDocuments($documents); // => { "uid": 0 }
```
With the `uid`, you can check the status (`enqueued`, `processing`, `succeeded` or `failed`) of your documents addition using the [task](https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/api/tasks.html#get-task).
#### Basic Search
```php
// Meilisearch is typo-tolerant:
$hits = $index->search('wondre woman')->getHits();
print_r($hits);
```
Output:
```php
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[title] => Wonder Woman
[genres] => Array
(
[0] => Action, Adventure
)
)
)
```
#### Custom Search
All the supported options are described in the [search parameters](https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/features/search_parameters.html) section of the documentation.
💡 **More about the `search()` method in [the Wiki](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-php/wiki/Search).**
```php
$index->search(
'phil',
[
'attributesToHighlight' => ['*'],
]
)->getRaw(); // Return in Array format
```
JSON output:
```json
{
"hits": [
{
"id": 6,
"title": "Philadelphia",
"genre": ["Drama"],
"_formatted": {
"id": 6,
"title": "Philadelphia",
"genre": ["Drama"]
}
}
],
"offset": 0,
"limit": 20,
"processingTimeMs": 0,
"query": "phil"
}
```
#### Custom Search With Filters
If you want to enable filtering, you must add your attributes to the `filterableAttributes` index setting.
```php
$index->updateFilterableAttributes([
'id',
'genres'
]);
```
You only need to perform this operation once.
Note that Meilisearch will rebuild your index whenever you update `filterableAttributes`. Depending on the size of your dataset, this might take time. You can track the process using the [tasks](https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/api/tasks.html#get-task)).
Then, you can perform the search:
```php
$index->search(
'wonder',
[
'filter' => ['id > 1 AND genres = Action']
]
);
```
```json
{
"hits": [
{
"id": 2,
"title": "Wonder Woman",
"genres": ["Action","Adventure"]
}
],
"offset": 0,
"limit": 20,
"nbHits": 1,
"processingTimeMs": 0,
"query": "wonder"
}
```

## 🧰 HTTP Client Compatibilities
You could use any [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) compatible client to use with this SDK. No additional configurations are required.
A list of compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at [php-http.org](http://docs.php-http.org/en/latest/clients.html).
If you want to use this `meilisearch-php`:
- with `guzzlehttp/guzzle` (Guzzle 7), run:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php guzzlehttp/guzzle http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
```
- with `php-http/guzzle6-adapter` (Guzzle < 7), run:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php php-http/guzzle6-adapter:^2.0 http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
```
- with `symfony/http-client`, run:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
```
- with `php-http/curl-client`, run:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
```
- with `kriswallsmith/buzz`, run:
```bash
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php kriswallsmith/buzz nyholm/psr7:^1.0
```
### Customize your HTTP Client
For some reason, you might want to pass a custom configuration to your own HTTP client.
Make sure you have a [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) compatible client when you initialize the Meilisearch client.
Following the example in the [Getting Started](#-getting-started) section, with the Guzzle HTTP client:
```php
new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey', new GuzzleHttpClient(['timeout' => 2]));
```
