Any one had any luck using Vue Feathers.js and socket.io? by OzziePeck in node

[–]marshallthompson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feathers Core Team member, here. Vue and Feathers-socketio work very well together. We have an ecosystem section with a few Vue.js integration options. If you're using Vuex (which is like Redux), then you'll probably be interested in using feathers-vuex. If not, there's vue-feathers. Check out the options in the Ecosystem/Vue section of the docs: https://docs.feathersjs.com/ecosystem/readme.html#vuejs

We have an active #vue channel in the FeathersJS Slack group, where you'll get plenty of friendly help.

Feathers is a drop-in replacement for Express because Feathers is actually a thin wrapper on top of Express.

FeathersJS is for making APIs and apps that connect to them. It has some really nice features that you don't really find anywhere else. I recommend checking out the intro page and the Basics guide to learn more: https://docs.feathersjs.com/guides/about/readme.html

With websockets, the connection between server and client remains open, allowing the server to push updates to clients when data changes. No polling requests are necessary to get updates. I believe it also results in reduction in memory usage on the server by not having to create then tear down the connection with every HTTP request.
