we can use refresh indexes in elastic search for update data
first we need to bind new parameter in service.yaml file
App\Controller\CP\Support\Replies\ReplyController:
tags: [ controller.service_arguments ]
bind:
FOS\ElasticaBundle\Finder\TransformedFinder $replyFinder: '#fos_elastica.finder.reply'
FOS\ElasticaBundle\Elastica\Index: '#fos_elastica.index.reply'
then we can use simply like this in controller to refresh indexes
#[Route('/new', name: 'cp_support_pre_defined_replies_reply_new', methods: ['GET', 'POST'])]
public function new(Request $request, Index $replyIndex): Response
{
$reply = new Reply();
$form = $this->createForm(ReplyType::class, $reply);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
try {
$this->replyRepository->add($reply, true);
$this->addFlash('success', 'successfully created new reply.');
$replyIndex->refresh();
} catch (Throwable $throwable) {
$this->addFlash('danger', 'fail create new reply.');
}
return $this->redirectToRoute('cp_support_pre_defined_replies_reply_index', [], Response::HTTP_SEE_OTHER);
}
return $this->renderForm('support/pre_defined_replies/reply/new.html.twig', [
'reply' => $reply,
'form' => $form,
]);
}
