Query represents a query to the search API of elasticsearch.

Query provides a set of methods to facilitate the specification of different parameters of the query. These methods can be chained together.

By calling createCommand(), we can get a yii\elasticsearch\Command instance which can be further used to perform/execute the DB query against a database.

For example,

$query = new Query;
$query->fields('id, name')
    ->from('myindex', 'users')
    ->limit(10);
// build and execute the query
$command = $query->createCommand();
$rows = $command->search(); // this way you get the raw output of elasticsearch.

You would normally call $query->search() instead of creating a command as this method adds the indexBy() feature and also removes some inconsistencies from the response.

Query also provides some methods to easier get some parts of the result only:

  • one(): returns a single record populated with the first row of data.
  • all(): returns all records based on the query results.
  • count(): returns the number of records.
  • scalar(): returns the value of the first column in the first row of the query result.
  • column(): returns the value of the first column in the query result.
  • exists(): returns a value indicating whether the query result has data or not.

NOTE: elasticsearch limits the number of records returned to 10 records by default. If you expect to get more records you should specify limit explicitly.

Property Details

$aggregations public property
public array $aggregations = []
$explain public property (available since version 2.0.5)

Enables explanation for each hit on how its score was computed.

See also https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-explain.html.

public boolean $explain null
$fields public property

The fields being retrieved from the documents. For example, ['id', 'name']. If not set, this option will not be applied to the query and no fields will be returned. In this case the _source field will be returned by default which can be configured using source(). Setting this to an empty array will result in no fields being retrieved, which means that only the primaryKey of a record will be available in the result.

For each field you may also add an array representing a script field. Example:

$query->fields = [
    'id',
    'name',
    'value_times_two' => [
        'script' => "doc['my_field_name'].value * 2",
    ],
    'value_times_factor' => [
        'script' => "doc['my_field_name'].value * factor",
        'params' => [
            'factor' => 2.0
        ],
    ],
]

Note: Field values are always returned as arrays even if they only have one value.

}

Batch size is determined by the limit setting (note that in scan mode batch limit is per shard).
