Adding facades to custom php file
Hello forum. I have just joined LaraCast, and got to say it is amazing! So this will be my first question, and i hope some lovely guy or girl might be able to help me out with this little pickle of mine.
I have a custom .php file in my project (app\Folder\File.php), it is running a while loop, doing some stuff every 30 seconds. I am running it from my terminal using the
php -q app/Folder/File.php
But i want to be able to access facades in there, like Auth::, Redis:: and other stuff. I have no idea how to declare this properly, as i keep getting a "A facade root has not been set" error, when using the following:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis as Redis;
Any help would really be appreciated on this!

Create a laravel console command - https://laravel.com/docs/master/artisan and move there your code from app\Folder\File.php. So you will be able to run in from console and will have access to all laravel stuff
