Set up Typesense for Laravel Scout

Typesense is a lightning-fast open source search engine for your application, working perfectly with Laravel Scout. It allows you to add a search engine with great relevancy, typo correction, and more to your application by simply adding the Searchable Trait to a model.

Configuration

Like with all Herd services, you can configure the port as well as the service name of your Typesense instance and add the following environment variables to your .env file.

SCOUT_DRIVER=typesense
TYPESENSE_API_KEY=LARAVEL-HERD
TYPESENSE_HOST=localhost

When using the Typesense with Laravel Scout you will need to install the Typesense PHP SDK via the Composer package manager:

composer require typesense/typesense-php
