v2.0.0-beta.6 🌱

Migration guide

If you're migrating from v1.x, read the complete migration guide.

API keys API now uses typed query and result objects

API key methods no longer accept array-based write payloads or return plain list shapes. They now use CreateKeyQuery and UpdateKeyQuery for requests, KeysResults for lists, and KeyAction for actions.

// Before (v1.x)
$key = $client->createKey([
    'description' => 'tenant token key',
    'actions'     => ['*'],
    'indexes'     => ['tenant*'],
    'expiresAt'   => '2055-10-02T00:00:00Z',
]);

// After (v2.x)
$key = $client->createKey(new CreateKeyQuery(
    actions:    [KeyAction::Any],
    indexes:    ['tenant*'],
    description: 'tenant token key',
    expiresAt:   new DateTimeImmutable('2055-10-02T00:00:00Z'),
));

The client updateKey method accepts an UpdateKeyQuery, which works similarly. It allows clearing the key name or description by passing null.

Additionally, KeysResults::count() was removed; use count($keysResults) instead.

🟠 Task methods now return types (Impact: moderate)

$client->getTasks() and $index->getTasks() now return a TaskResults object.

// Before (v1.x)
$tasks = $client->getTasks();
$results = $tasks['results']; // Accessing as array

// After (v2.x)
$tasks = $client->getTasks(); // Returns TaskResults
$results = $tasks->getResults(); // Returns an array of Task objects

Additionally

• The internal task manager all() method now returns an array of Task objects.
• The TaskResults class is now final

⚠️ Breaking changes

• Wrap data with Task before passing to TasksResults (#864) @norkunas

🚀 Enhancements

• Add raw data to Task and implement ArrayAccess (backward compatibility) (#863) @norkunas

v2.0.0-beta.3 🌱

Migration guide

🟢 Improved exception types DX (Impact: minor)

The custom $message property has been removed from custom exceptions. Use the getMessage() method instead:

try {
    // ...
} catch (\Meilisearch\Exceptions\ApiException $e) {
   // Before (v1.x)
    echo $e->message;
    // After (v2.x)
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Also:

• Exception classes are now final
• Exception public properties are now read-only and strictly typed.
• The rethrowWithHint static method now returns a \RuntimeException instead of a generic \Exception.

⚠️ Breaking changes

• Add types to exceptions (#850) @norkunas

🚀 Enhancements

• Update experimental Network API for Meilisearch v1.30 compatibility (#853) @Strift

⚙️ Maintenance/misc

• Fix PHP-CS-Fixer deprecation (#830) @norkunas

v2.0.0-beta.2 🌱

Migration guide

Database stats now return a typed Stats object

$stats = $client->stats();

// Before (v1.x) - accessing stats as array
$databaseSize = $response['databaseSize'];
$usedDatabaseSize = $response['usedDatabaseSize'];
// etc...

// After (v2.x) - use getter methods
$databaseSize = $stats->getDatabaseSize();
$usedDatabaseSize = $stats->getUsedDatabaseSize();

Version is now a typed Version object

$version = $client->version();

// Before (v1.x) - access as array
$commitSha = $version['commitSha'];
$commitDate = $version['commitDate']; // String
$pkgVersion = $version['pkgVersion'];

// After (v2.x) - use getter methods
$commitSha = $version->getCommitSha();
$commitDate = $version->getCommitDate(); // \DateTimeImmutable
$pkgVersion = $version->getPkgVersion();

Removed legacy MeiliSearch namespace

We removed MeiliSearch (capital S) namespace.

// Before (v1.x) - MeiliSearch with capital S
use MeiliSearch\Client;

// After (v2.x) - Meilisearch without capital S
use Meilisearch\Client;

Removed Indexes::parseDate() public method

This only affects you if you were using this utility method directly.

// Before (v1.x) - If you used this method in your code
$dateTime = \Meilisearch\Endpoints\Indexes::parseDate('2021-01-01T01:23:45.123456Z');

// After (v2.x) - Use native PHP instead
$dateTime = new \DateTimeImmutable('2021-01-01T01:23:45.123456Z');

While we recommend against production usage due to breaking changes, the code is stable. Please consider whether you can afford the potential upcoming breaking changes before upgrading.

Migration guide

Refactor tasks as objects, and task status and type as enums

This introduces two changes:

• Asynchronous operations now return Tasks as an object instead of an array
• Tasks can be awaited with the new wait(int $timeoutInMs = 5000, int $intervalInMs = 50): Task method

Awaiting tasks:

// Before
$promise = $this->client->createIndex('new-index', ['primaryKey' => 'objectID']);
$this->index->waitForTask($promise['taskUid']);

// After
$this->client->createIndex('new-index', ['primaryKey' => 'objectID'])->wait();

Asserting task status:

// Before
$task = $this->client->getTask($taskUid);
if ($task['status'] === 'succeeded') {
    // do something
}

// After
if ($task->getStatus() === TaskStatus::Succeeded) {
    // do something
}

Asserting task types:

// Before
$task = $this->client->getTask($taskUid);
if ($task['type'] === 'indexCreation') {
    // do something
}

// After
$task = $this->client->getTask($taskUid);
if ($task->getType() === TaskType::IndexCreation) {
    // do something
}

Remove custom exception for JSON parsing

Before: catching SDK-specific JSON exceptions

<?php

try {
    $client->index('books')->addDocuments([["title" => "\xB1\x31"]]);
} catch (JsonEncodingException | JsonDecodingException $e) {
    // handle JSON errors
}

After: catching native PHP JsonException

<?php

try {
    $client->index('books')->addDocuments([["title" => "\xB1\x31"]]);
} catch (\JsonException $e) {
    // handle JSON errors
}
