Managing Settings

Backup and restore settings# Found an issue? Edit this guide

This bundle has a simple approach to settings management, everything is centralized in json files. Each engine must provide a SettingsManager class that can backup settings from the engine and push them back.

The bundle offers 2 commands to easily backup and restore settings

php bin/console search:settings:backup --indices:posts,comments
php bin/console search:settings:push --indices:posts,comments

The --indices option take a comma-separated list of index names (without prefix, as defined in configuration). If no options are passed all indices will be processed.

Settings directory#

Depending on your version of Symfony, the settings will be saved in different locations:

• Symfony4: /config/settings/algolia_search/
• Symfony3: /app/Resources/SearchBundle/settings/

The settings directory can also be set in the configuration if you have a non-standard setup or if you wish to save them elsewhere. The project directory will automatically be prepended.
