Yes it should work. It depends on illuminate/database and illuminate/contracts.

The only thing that you need to do for sure, is setting up the factories, just like in the service provider:

    public function boot()
    {
        Builder::setJoinerFactory(new JoinerFactory);

        Builder::setParserFactory(new ParserFactory);
    }

Hi ,

Im having some issues using eloquence , im getting this error :

Call to a member function make() on null

I know you said that I should set up factories , so how would you exactly do that ?

Thanking you in advance .

@icubed-web You should do that before using Eloquent. The best will be when your app is bootstrapping - that's what Laravel's ServiceProviders do. Now, I don't know about slim, but there must be some kind of similar process, so this will be it.

Hi jarek ,

Thank you for your help ,

I did manage to boot eloquence like so ...

use Sofa\Eloquence\ServiceProvider as Eloquence;

$test = new Eloquence;
