Editor::inst( $db, 'filters' )
->fields(

Hi,

When you do a Composer install, you need to make the database connection yourself. As you'll see in the documentation that is typically something like:

$db = new DataTables\Database( array(
    "type" => "...",
    ...
) );

You could put that into config.php if you want to to allow it to be shared between files.
