Source. Shows how this makes every female mammal a chimera.- foreign keys are capitalized:
- you must give
foreignKeywhen using aliases, otherwise it fails subtely. That would be derived automatically. - stackoverflow.com/questions/41502699/return-flat-object-from-sequelize-with-association can't auto-flatten to reuse the database's

- stack traces permanently broken or requiring non-obvious configs:
- does not automatically update fields on hooks: github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/8586#issuecomment-422877555
- cannot change columns when other columns have constraints due to the backup table?

- impossible to do subqueries in general. Docs just tell you to use literals. This in particular prevents single query deletes with join as done at nodejs/sequelize/raw/many_to_many.js:Also, you can't get query strings either: github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/2325
- sequelize.org/master/manual/sub-queries.html: the docs actually just tell you to use literals, lol
- stackoverflow.com/questions/45354001/nodejs-sequelize-delete-with-nested-select-query
- migrations. Generally speaking, anything but the simplest migrations are exceedingly hard to get right, as you have to go very low level when doing migrations. Syntax can be very different from regular DB operations.
- no way to do (non-raw) queries during migrations, e.g. to update fields based on other fields in a complex way?

- SQLite
changeColumnmigrations do on delete cascades of other tables. SQLite does not have change column statements, so they have to drop and recreate tables, but they don't temporarily remove cascades, so you lose data: stackoverflow.com/questions/62667269/sequelize-js-how-do-we-change-column-type-in-migration/70486686#70486686 - associations require full explicit index construction: stackoverflow.com/questions/39651853/how-to-create-join-table-with-foreign-keys-with-sequelize-or-sequelize-cli
- ability to iterate over a large result without blowing up memory and without using limit + offset (which is inneficient e.g. when looping over recursive queries). This is also known as cursor or streaming interfaces:E.g. the Python SQLite interface supports this just fine: stackoverflow.com/questions/29582736/python3-is-there-a-way-to-iterate-row-by-row-over-a-very-large-sqlite-table-wi

Looks interesting.
It seems to abstract the part about the client messaging the backend, which focuses on being able to easily plug in a number of Front-end web framework to manage client state.
Has the "main web API is the same as the REST API" focus, which is fundamental 2020-nowadays.
Uses Socket.IO, which allows the client Javascript to register callbacks when data is updated to achieve Socket.IO, e.g. their default chat app does:so that message appear immediately as they are sent.
client.service('messages').on('created', addMessage);Their standard template from which looks promising! They don't have a default template for a Front-end web framework however unfortunately: docs.feathersjs.com/guides/frameworks.html#the-feathers-chat lists a few chat app versions, which is their hello world:But it is in itself a completely boring app with a single splash page, and no database interaction, so not a good showcase. The actual showcase app is feathersjs/feathers-chat.
feathers generate app on @feathersjs/cli@4.5.0 includes:- several authentication methods, including OAuth
- testing
- backend database with one of several object-relational mapping! However, they don't abstract across them. E.g., the default Chat example uses NeDB, but a real app will likely use Sequelize, and a port is needed
- Front-end web framework: not built-in on generator, but there are some sample repos pointed from the documentation, and they did work out-of-box:
And there is no official example of the chat app that is immediately deployable to Heroku: FeathersJS Heroku deployment, all setups require thinking.

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
