In my laravel 5.7/mysql app I use elasticsearch based on
https://michaelstivala.com/learning-elasticsearch-with-laravel/
article.
That is clear for me how to save/delete/search data which are based on one table.
But I have tables :

CREATE TABLE `votes` (
 `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
 `description` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',

with searching on name and description fields

but I also have a table

CREATE TABLE `vote_items` (
 `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `vote_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT NULL,
 `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',

and I want to make search also on name field.

That seems somewhat tricky. In my vote model I defined methods to sync data with elasticsearch:

<?php

namespace App;

use DB;

class Vote extends Model
{
 protected $table = 'votes';
 protected $elasticsearch_type = 'vote';
 protected $primaryKey = 'id';
 ...
 public function getElasticsearchType(): string
 
 return $this->elasticsearch_type;
 

 protected static function boot() 
 parent::boot();

 static::saved(function ($vote) 
 $elastic = app(AppElasticElastic::class);
 $elasticsearch_root_index = config('app.elasticsearch_root_index');
 $elasticsearch_type = with(new Vote)->getElasticsearchType();

 $elastic->delete([
 'index' => $elasticsearch_root_index,
 'type' => $elasticsearch_type,
 'id' => $vote->id,
 ]);

 if ($vote->status == 'A') // only active votes must be saved in elasticsearch
 $elastic->index([
 'index' => $elasticsearch_root_index,
 'type' => $elasticsearch_type,
 'id' => $vote->id,
 'body' => [
 'id' => $vote->id,
 'slug' => $vote->slug,
 'name' => $vote->name,
 'description' => $vote->description,
 ]
 ]);
 // if ($vote->status == 'A') // only active votes must be saved in elasticsearch

 );
 static::deleted(function ($vote ) 
 $elastic = app(AppElasticElastic::class);
 $elasticsearch_root_index = config('app.elasticsearch_root_index');
 $elasticsearch_type = with(new Vote)->getElasticsearchType();
 $elastic->delete([
 'index' => $elasticsearch_root_index,
 'type' => $elasticsearch_type,
 'id' => $vote->id,
 ]);
 );
 


 public static function bulkVotesToElastic()
 
 $elastic = app(AppElasticElastic::class);

 $elasticsearch_root_index = config('app.elasticsearch_root_index');
 $elasticsearch_type = with(new Vote)->getElasticsearchType();

 Vote::chunk(100, function ($Votes) use ($elastic, $elasticsearch_root_index, $elasticsearch_type) 
 foreach ($Votes as $nextVote) 
 if ($nextVote->status!= 'A') continue; // only active votes must be saved in elasticsearch
 $elastic->index([
 'index' => $elasticsearch_root_index,
 'type' => $elasticsearch_type,
 'id' => $nextVote->id,
 'body' => [
 'id' => $nextVote->id,
 'slug' => $nextVote->slug,
 'name' => $nextVote->name,
 'description' => $nextVote->description,
 ]
 ]);
 
 );
 

I suppose that I could make similar methods for vote_items model and save all data with different type, but I think that
is not valid way... Which way is valid? Are there some examples how this could be implemented ?

Thanks!
