Proxy service

proxy-service.js

import { merge } from 'feathers-commons'

function createProxyService (options) {
  const targetService = options.service
  function proxy (params) {
    return merge(params, options.params)
  }
  return {
    find (params) { return targetService.find(proxy(params)) },
    get (id, params) { return targetService.get(id, proxy(params)) },
    create (data, params) { return targetService.create(data, proxy(params)) },
    update (id, data, params) { return targetService.update(id, data, proxy(params)) },
    patch (id, data, params) { return targetService.patch(id, data, proxy(params)) },
    remove (id, params) { return targetService.remove(id, proxy(params)) }
  }
}
...
function createOrganisationService (hook) {
  app.use(hook.result._id.toString() + '/users', createProxyService({
    service: app.service('users'),
    params: { query: { 'organisation': hook.result._id.toString() } }
  })
  return hook
}

Service proxying might be viewed as a more feathers way to do nested routes but it could be used to do others things as well.

About organisations I actually want to be able to create any number of organisations dynamically so there is a hook on each create/remove operation on the organisation service in order to dynamically add/remove the related organisation services. You can have a look at our Akt'n'Map application to see how we use it in a production application, eg here or here.
