How to use Solarium with Laravel?

Question

I've included Solarium as required on composer.json, did composer install and everything went fine.

However, when I try to create a client stance, I get an error:

Class 'Solarium\Client' not found

The code I'm using goes like this:

public function __construct()
{
    $config = array(
        'endpoint' => array(
            'localhost' => array(
                'host' => '127.0.0.1',
                'port' => 8983,
                'path' => '/solr/my_solr_instance',
                )
            )
        );

    $this->client = new \Solarium\Client($config);
}

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you included the package name in service providers (config/app.php)? 'Fbf\LaravelSolarium\LaravelSolariumServiceProvider' — Can Celik, Mar 17 '16 at 22:07
Also it looks like that package is not working with laravel5 https://github.com/FbF/Laravel-Solarium/issues/4 — Can Celik, Mar 17 '16 at 22:09
I'm using the regular Solarium package, not the laravel one. — Paulo Manrique, Mar 18 '16 at 17:50

After installing solarium in laravel ..

create a file solr.php in config

return [
    'endpoint' => [
        'Collection' => [
            'host' => '192.168.0.1',
            'port' => '8983',
            'path' => '/solr',
            'core' => 'collection1'
        ],
    ]
];

IN your controller construction initiate client object

// create a client instance
        $this->client = new \Solarium\Client();
        $this->endpoint =  $this->client->createEndpoint(Config::get('solr.endpoint.Collection'));

In search function

$query = $this->client->createSelect();
$query->setQuery("*:*");
$resultset = $this->client->select($query, $this->endpoint);
