An elastic-search based session driver for Laravel 5.1

1. Require it via composer

   composer require itvisionsy/laravel-elastic-sessions

2. Add it to the providers list inconfig/app.php:

   'providers' => [//...ItvisionSy\LaravelElasticSessionDriver\ElasticSessionServiceProvider::class,//...]

3. Set the correct settings inconfig/session.php

   "driver" =>"elastic","elastic" => ["url" =>"http://localhost:9200/","index" =>"laravel-es-sessions","type" =>"session"],"lifetime" =>30

   Values shown above for elastic parameter are the default values in case you did not configure.

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:

{"index":"set_the_index","type":"set_the_type","body":{"properties":{"created":{"type":"date"},"updated":{"type":"date"},"data":{"type":"string","index":"no"}        },"_ttl":{"enabled":true,"default":"30m"        }    }}

Or simpler, the package can do it for you. You will need to tinker./artisan tinker and then set the mapping:

\ItvisionSy\LaravelElasticSessionDriver\ElasticSessionStore::putMapping();

Please note that theputMapping() method will automatically read the values from your sessions config fileincluding thesession.lifetime value (in minutes) which will be used as the default TTL value.
