ElasticSearch in our application

src/AppBundle/ElasticSearch

Here you'll find all custom classes related to ES in our app.

ElasticsearchQuery

Custom class to be able to query our ES index. There are several convenience methods here. Most of them have the option to supply a query according to the principles outlined here. Each search method has the option to either search for the raw json-results, or for the mapped entities.

ESMapper

Custom class to map a json result from a search to a Doctrine entity. In effect: results are hydrated to Doctrine objects.
