A facade Root has not been set

Just wanted to document here incase anyone else got stuck like me for the last couple of days.

I was getting this error ‘A facade root has not been set’ when trying to use laravel components in a custom theme (not sage based).

I am new when it comese to laravel so reading the laravel docs to understand the request life cycle helped.

In the function.php file I included this code

function laraval_boot(){
    if (! function_exists('\Roots\bootloader')) {
        wp_die(
            __('You need to install Acorn to use this theme.', 'sage'),
            '',
            [
                'link_url' => 'https://roots.io/acorn/docs/installation/',
                'link_text' => __('Acorn Docs: Installation', 'sage'),
            ]
        );
    }
    
    \Roots\bootloader()->boot();
}

and of course call our add_action

add_action(‘init’, ‘laraval_boot’);

This did the trick for me. Hopefully this can help someone else out if they get stuck.

Thanks for the tip!
If you could format the PHP code using the editor button (with backticks), it would be much more readable.
