Ray breaks application that is not using a DB connection

[lentex]

Hello there 👋

I've started a new Laravel API project that is just calling third party APIs in the background but is not using a database at all.
So I've deleted the config/database.php file and removed the DatabaseServiceProvider. This works as expected and I can use my API, but as soon I install Ray, the project breaks (Target class [db] does not exist.) at every request as Ray needs the DB facade.

As far as I can trace this problem I noticed that the check if query config options are enabled is inside the DB::listen callback (for example https://github.com/spatie/laravel-ray/blob/main/src/Watchers/DuplicateQueryWatcher.php#L24).

Is there a certain reason that this check is not before the actual DB::listen?

Of course I could create a PR for that, but I wanted to ask beforehand as I suspect that you had your reasons for implementing it that way.

Cheers and keep up your excellent work 🙂

You're the first one reporting this, probably because using a Laravel app without a DB isn't a very common scenario. Feel free to send us PR.
