Disable scout during import

[philharmonie]

I am importing a very big excel sheet and I am using scout's Searchable Trait on my model. The import process fills up the CPU load because every row triggers the scout import. Is there a way to globally disable the scout import during the import? I tried withoutSyncingToSearch in the model function before returning the model, but there seem to be side effects.

Perhaps try using BatchInserts, that should already skip Scout I think. If not, I think it's better to ask on Laracasts or another Laravel-related forum.

Why not implementing something like:

if ($model) {
    if (in_array('Laravel\Scout\Searchable', class_uses_recursive($model))) {
      $model::withoutSyncingToSearch(function () use ($model) {
           $model->saveOrFail();
       });
    } else {
       $model->saveOrFail();
    }
}

or alternatively a setting in the config

You could also use on each row concern if you don't use batch inserts. In there you can call save yourself.
