Laravel 5.1 Service Wrapper and Facade for elasticsearch/elasticsearch.

Add the following to your composer.json file:

{
    "require" : {
        "orphans/elasticsearch" : "dev-master"
    }
}

Then install/update your composer project as normal.

Add the following line to you providers in config/app.php:

Orphans\ElasticSearch\App\Providers\ElasticSearchServiceProvider::class,

Add the following line to you facades in config/app.php:

'ES' => Orphans\ElasticSearch\Support\Facades\ElasticSearch::class,

To customise your elasticsearch config, publish the package config to your config folder:

php artisan vendor:publish

In your controllers, just include the following:

use ES;

And you can then do queries as normal using the facade:

$response = ES::search($params);
