feathers/feathers-configuration uses NODE_ENV
to find a configuration file under config/
. After updating config/production.js
you can run
NODE_ENV=production npm start
To contribute PRs for these generators, you will need to clone the repo
then inside the repo's directory, run npm link
. This sets up a global
link to your local package for running tests (npm test
) and generating
new feathers apps/services/hooks/etc.
When finished testing, optionally run npm uninstall generator-feathers
to remove
the link.
