That was just a crash-course overview of the client and its syntax. If you are familiar with elasticsearch, you’ll notice that the methods are named just like REST endpoints.

You’ll also notice that the client is configured in a manner that facilitates easy discovery via your IDE. All core actions are available under the $client object (indexing, searching, getting, etc). Index and cluster management are located under the $client->indices() and $client->cluster() objects, respectively.

Check out the rest of the Documentation to see how the entire client works.
