A useless but illustrative example of what an Illuminated WordPress Plugin looks like

plugin.php

<?php
namespace YourPlugin;
/**
 * Your plugin inherits everything that a Laravel container can do.
 * Like, querying a database, which is useless, but illustrative.
 */
class YourPlugin extends \FatPanda\Illuminate\WordPress\Plugin 
{
  /**
   * This function is automatically discovered and hooked 
   * into WordPress' "init" event.
   */
  function onInit()
  {
    // you wouldn't ever need to do this, but it's a helpful illustration:
    $latestPosts = $this->db->table('posts')->orderBy('post_date', 'DESC');
  } 
}
