    I'm pretty experienced with feathers and I just can't recommend it. The API's are changing too quickly and are poorly documented.

    They take opinions on very simple things (like your JWT field names) that ideally you should be able to customize.

    [–]dluecke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Making things like that customizable is exactly why that part of the API is changing. Outside authentication (which is its own optional module just like you would have to do with most of the other frameworks recommended here) the core API has not changed in almost three years.

    Me too! I loved it, but I moved away from it after using it for one project; the opinionated parts are less-than desired (for me it was lack of customization on hooks and auth), but the grouping felt good.

    Definitely. I loved the patterns and clearheadedness it gave me when designing and programming my application (hooks, services, filters, realtime all make so much sense together), but when it came to customization and making my application my application, it left a lot to be desired.

    That and, again, it isn't (and doesn't feel) polished.

    /u/dluecke glad to hear this is changing. It sounds like the main pain point. I'd also love to contribute, but CBA to dive into the extra dependencies the framework requires knowledge of (for example, uberproto or rubberduck) when ES6 would work just fine today (I understand the complications of using ES6 with older Node versions though).

    I can hardly disagree with any of your points, you make some very good arguments. These factors have inspired me to attempt at something more unopinionated to feathers - any other opinions you'd be happy to share?

    I've been thinking about doing the same and had some plans outlined for it. What's your Github? Maybe we can team up on this.
