DB facade

Facades provide a "static" interface to classes that are available in the application's service container. Laravel contains several facades including DB which is used to easily access the database.

If you want to use the facades, you must initialize the container yourself. The simplest solution for is to create a mu-plugin, here’s an example :

use Dbout\WpOrm\Orm\Database;
use Illuminate\Container\Container;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

$container = new Container();
$container->instance('db', Database::getInstance());
Facade::setFacadeApplication($container);

You can now use the DB facade without any problems :

use \Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

$count = DB::raw('count + 1');
