[SOLVED] Use Slim with Eloquent: Call to a member function connection() on null

1

Hi, i want to use eloquent with slim but it does not work…

My Config:
[
‘settings’ => [
‘determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware’ => false,
‘displayErrorDetails’ => true,
‘db’ => [
‘driver’ => ‘mysql’,
‘host’ => ‘localhost’,
‘database’ => ‘…’,
‘username’ => ‘…’,
‘password’ => ‘…’,
‘charset’ => ‘utf8’,
‘collation’ => ‘utf8_unicode_ci’,
‘prefix’ => ‘’,
]
],
]

Dependencies:
$container[‘db’] = function ($container) {
$capsule = new \Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager;
$capsule->addConnection($container[‘settings’][‘db’]);

    $capsule->setAsGlobal();
    $capsule->bootEloquent();

    return $capsule;
};

My index file:
require ‘vendor/autoload.php’;

// Config
$settings = require 'config/settings.php';

// Models
include "models/news.php";

$app = new \Slim\App($settings);

// Dependencies
require 'config/dependencies.php';

// Routing
require 'api/newsController.php';

$app->run();

My routing function:
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use \App\News;

$app->get('/api/v1/news', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    $news = News::all();
    return $response;
});

And at least my model:
namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Model;

class News extends Model {

    protected $table = "news";

}

I got the following message:
Type: Error
Message: Call to a member function connection() on null
