Single document indexingedit

When indexing a document, you can either provide an ID or let elasticsearch generate one for you.


Providing an ID value.

$params = [
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'type' => 'my_type',
    'id' => 'my_id',
    'body' => [ 'testField' => 'abc']
];

// Document will be indexed to my_index/my_type/my_id
$response = $client->index($params);


Omitting an ID value.

$params = [
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'type' => 'my_type',
    'body' => [ 'testField' => 'abc']
];

// Document will be indexed to my_index/my_type/<autogenerated ID>
$response = $client->index($params);


If you need to set other parameters, such as a routing value, you specify those in the array alongside the index, type, etc. For example, let’s set the routing and timestamp of this new document:

Additional parameters.

$params = [
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'type' => 'my_type',
    'id' => 'my_id',
    'routing' => 'company_xyz',
    'timestamp' => strtotime("-1d"),
    'body' => [ 'testField' => 'abc']
];


$response = $client->index($params);
