Step-by-Step Installation & Configuration

This guide walks you through installing and configuring the SearchJet Laravel package step by step.

---

Step 1: Install the Package via Composer

Open your terminal, navigate to your Laravel project directory, and run the following command:

composer require maidulcu/laravel-searchjetengine

Laravel will automatically discover the service provider and register the facade. No manual registration is needed.

---

Step 2: Publish the Configuration File

Publish the config file to customize the package settings:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SearchJet\SearchJetServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This creates a config/searchjet.php file in your Laravel project.

---

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables

Add your SearchJet credentials to your .env file:

SEARCHJET_API_URL=https://app.searchjetengine.com
SEARCHJET_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
SEARCHJET_SITE_URL=https://your-wordpress-site.com

Get your API key from the SearchJet dashboard at searchjetengine.com.

---

Step 4: Verify Configuration

Run a quick test to verify everything works:

use SearchJet\SearchJet;

$results = SearchJet::search('test');
dump($results);

If you see results, the integration is working. If not, check your API key and site URL in the .env file.
