Errors when using Laravel v8

[MikeSamv]

I am trying to use this package with an application that's using laravel/framework: ^8.58 and get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of Illuminate\Database\PDO\Concerns\ConnectsToDatabase::connect(array $params) must be compatible with Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::connect(array $params, $username = null, $password = null, array $driverOptions = []) in /app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/PDO/Concerns/ConnectsToDatabase.php on line 19
In ConnectsToDatabase.php line 19:
                                                                                
Declaration of Illuminate\Database\PDO\Concerns\ConnectsToDatabase::connect(array $params) must be compatible with Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::connect(array $params, $username = null, $password = null, array $driverOptions = [])     

I assume upgrading to Laravel v9 would fix this, but would love to know if there's an easier way I could get around this.

Thank you! 🙏
