Feathers and Zod services

A service is the primary functional unit of nuxt-feathers-zod. The CLI generates the structure expected by service discovery and schema tooling.

Standard service

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod add service articles --adapter mongodb --collection articles --schema zod

Supported generated adapters are memory, mongodb, and knex for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. Persistent services can select a named connection with --connection. Knex services can also set --table and --schemaName.

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod@6.7.37 add service audit-events \
  --adapter knex \
  --connection reporting \
  --table audit_events \
  --schemaName reporting \
  --schema zod

Schema modes are none, zod, and json.

Custom service

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod add custom-service reports --methods find --customMethods run --schema zod

find is a standard Feathers method. run is an explicitly declared custom method.

Schema fields

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod schema articles --show
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod schema articles --add-field title:string!
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod schema articles --set-field published:boolean=false
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod schema articles --validate

Protected services

bunx nuxt-feathers-zod auth service articles --enabled

Keep authentication and authorization in Feathers hooks instead of duplicating business security in Nitro API routes.

Client call

const articles = useService('articles')
const page = await articles.find({
  query: {
    published: true,
    $limit: 25,
    $sort: { createdAt: -1 },
  },
})

Server call

const rows = await app.service('articles').find({
  query: { $limit: 25 },
  provider: undefined,
})

No loopback HTTP request is required inside the same server runtime.
