v1.0.0-alpha

[LaravelFreelancerNL]

The Query Builder has been completely reworked to get a new 100% functional compatibility with Laravel's original SQL query builder.

Other notable changes:

• The Eloquent addition 'fromAqb' has been dropped for now.
• Added searchview for searching ArangoViews with tokenization and stemming.
• The schema builer now supports ArangoSearch Analyzers

BREAKING CHANGES

• "where's" function like the original now. You may have to rewrite nested wheres depending on your use case.
• The query builder 'search' function is replaced by searchView

Help in testing this package is much appreciated. Have fun and try it with different Laravel packages.
I'd love to hear your criticism on the package. Let me know if you need anything.
