Lucid: How to use lucid outside adonis app ?

[fzdmd]

Is any way to use Adonis model outside the app, not bootsraping all application.

I'm using dev version of adonis 4.0

[thetutlage]

U mean using Lucid without Adonis?

[fzdmd]

Yes, or bootstrap only models of application without controllers, routers etc.
I want to insert parsed data in database using Lucid.
I tried to require('./app/Models/someclass') and it gives me an error.

[thetutlage]

I still don't get it

1. Do u have an Adonis app and trying to require model like that
2. Or you have a separate app and you are trying to integrate Lucid?

[fzdmd]

I've got 2 apps, first Adonis, second grabber, and I want to integrate Lucid into grabber.

Hey @fzdmd! 👋

What is grabber?

In any case, Lucid is currently not a standalone (framework-agnostic) package.
We have the plan to remove these dependencies around Adonis, but this isn't a priority.
So you cannot use Lucid outside of an Adonis application (for the moment).

Any updates?

[RomainLanz]

It will be possible to do it with the new version.
More information coming soon!

Is it possible to just use "next" branch and use Lucid standalone?

[Nicolab]

Will be great, any news?

[RomainLanz]

Standalone support was dropped!
If you want to use Lucid, use AdonisJS.

Thanks for your reply

as official standalone support dropped I was wondering if anyone else is doing it ? I would love to use it with multiple frameworks. thx :-)

[aat2703]

We switched to Laravel. Much better

@Johnson444 I'd say objection js is very similar to lucid. Also built on knex and has some shortcuts that lucid does not
