Deleting and re-index an elasticsearch index in Laravel

If you need to change the mapping of an elasticsearch index, then you have to remove it first and then re-create and re-index it again. Here is how you can do this in a Laravel application.

1. To remove an elasticsearch index, using postman:
   

   http://localhost:9200/federalbills/?
   
      
       
   
           
   
                
                             
           
       
      
       
   
           
   
                
                                                                    Goviq
                                       delete index
                                       elasticsearch
                                       mapping
                                       pipeline
                                       pipe
                                       attachment pipeline
