 # laravel-elastic-sessions
-A session driver for elastic search for laravel 5.1
+An elastic-search based session driver for Laravel 5.1
+
+##How to use
+ 1. Require it via composer
+    ```
+    composer require itvisionsy/laravel-elastic-sessions
+    ```
+ 2. Add it to the providers list in `config/app.php`:
+    ```php
+    'providers' => [
+    //...
+    ItvisionSy\LaravelElasticSessionDriver\ElasticSessionServiceProvider::class,
+    //...
+    ]
+    ```
+ 3. Set the correct settings in `config/session.php`
+    ```php
+    "driver" => "elastic",
+    "elastic" => [
+        "url" => "http://localhost:9200/",
+        "index" => "laravel-es-sessions",
+        "type" => "session"
+    ],
+    ```
+    Values shown above are the default values in case you did not configure.
+
+###Index/Type mapping
+Elastic will detect the mapping by default, however, it is recommended to set the mapping explicitly.
+
+You can do so manually by applying this mapping to the index and type:
+```json
+{
+    "index":"set_the_index",
+    "type":"set_the_type",
+    "body":{
+        "properties":{
+            "created":{"type":"date"},
+            "updated":{"type":"date"},
+            "data":{"type":"string","index":"no"}
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Or simpler, the package can do it for you. You will need to tinker `./artisan tinker` and then set the mapping:
+```php
+\ItvisionSy\LaravelElasticSessionDriver\ElasticSessionStore::putMapping();
+```
