There's an anonymous container aware class instance available as $mako by default. This allows you to easily interact with services registered in the dependency injection container.

The object also has a public method called getContainer() which, as the name suggests, allows you to access the container directly.

In the example below we're selecting all records from our tests column using the query builder.

>>> $mako->database->getConnection()->getQuery()->table('tests')->all()
=> mako\database\query\ResultSet {#229
	+0: mako\database\query\Result {#230
		+id: 1,
		+created_at: "2016-12-30 10:58:56",
	},
	+1: mako\database\query\Result {#231
		+id: 2,
		+created_at: "2016-12-31 01:21:20",
	},
}
