Add custom methods to your services. For example:
emailService.send(address, subject, content)npm i feathers-custom-methods
Server side, configure the plugin and implement the method:
const customMethods = require('feathers-custom-methods')
app.configure(customMethods({
methods: {
email: ['send'] // allow calling app.service('email').send client side
}
}))
app.service('email').send = function (address, subject, content) {
// implement the method
// or implement it through a custom service:
// const emailService = {
// send(address, subject, content) { /* implementation */ }
// }
// app.use('/email', emailService)
}Client side, configure the client plugin:
import customMethods from 'feathers-custom-methods/client'
app.configure(customMethods({
methods: {
email: ['send']
}
}))Now you can use send as a method on the email service client side:
app.service('email').send(address, subject, content)
.then(response => {
// handle response
}).catch(err => {
// handle error
})The code above will call app.service('email').send server side with the same arguments.
feathers-custom-methods uses the create method to send data from client to server. In other words, the call service.send(arg1, arg2) is equivalent to:
service.create({
method: 'send',
arguments: [arg1, arg2]
})Which means that you can call custom methods through HTTP requests like this:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{ "method": "send", "arguments": ["[email protected]", "subject", "content"] }' http://localhost:3030/email
