Example

Here's a example of configuration.

const compress = require('compression');
const helmet = require('helmet');
const cors = require('cors');

const feathers = require('@feathersjs/feathers');
const configuration = require('@feathersjs/configuration');
const express = require('@feathersjs/express');
const forwardMiddleware = require('feathers-forward').middleware;
const forwardConfigure = require('feathers-forward').configure;

const middleware = require('./middleware');
const services = require('./services');

const app = express(feathers());

// Load app configuration
app.configure(configuration());
// Enable security, CORS, compression, favicon and body parsing
app.use(helmet());
app.use(cors());
app.use(compress());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({extended: true}));

// Set up Plugins and providers
app.configure(express.rest());

// Configure other middleware (see `middleware/index.js`)
app.configure(middleware);
app.configure(forwardMiddleware); // IMPORTANT
// Set up our services (see `services/index.js`)
app.configure(services);
// Forward everything else
app.configure(forwardConfigure({ // IMPORTANT
  uri: 'https://example.com',
  endpoint: 'feathers',
  reqHeaders: ['authorization'],
  resHeaders: ['custom-header']
}));

// Configure a middleware for 404s and the error handler
app.use(express.notFound());
app.use(express.errorHandler({logger}));
