Other Setup Examples

With @feathersjs/memory

You can try Feathers-Pinia without a backend by using @feathersjs/memory. First, you'll need to install the package:

bash
npm i @feathersjs/memory

Now you only need to instantiate the memory server on the service. It takes only two lines of code! See here:

ts
// make a memory store for the service
api.use(servicePath, memory({ paginate: { default: 10, max: 100 }, whitelist: ['$options'] }))
api.service(servicePath).hooks({})

With the memory adapter in place, you'll be able to make requests as though you were connected to a remote server. And technically, for this service it is no longer required to have a client transport (rest or socket.io) configured.

One more thing: you can start the memory adapter with fixture data in place, if wanted. Provide the store option with the the data keyed by id, as shown below. You can also provide this option during instantiation.

ts
api.use(servicePath, memory({
  paginate: { default: 10, max: 100 },
  whitelist: ['$options'],
  store: {
    1: { id: 1, name: 'Marshall' },
    2: { id: 2, name: 'David' },
    10: { id: 10, name: 'Wolverine' },
    10: { id: 10, name: 'Gambit' },
    11: { id: 11, name: 'Rogue' },
    12: { id: 12, name: 'Jubilee' },
  }
}))

The same data can be written at any time during runtime by setting api.service('users').options.store to the new object, keyed by id.
