app.use(path, service) // allows registering a service object on a given path
app.service(path) // returns the wrapped service object for the given path
app.hooks(hooks) // allows registration of application-level hooks
app.publish([event,], publisher) // registers a global event publisher
app.configure(callback) // runs a callback function that gets passed the application object
app.listen(port) // starts the application on the given port
app.setup([server]) // used to initialize all services by calling each services .setup(app, path) method (if available)
app.set(name, value) // assigns setting name to value
app.get(name) // retrieves the setting name
app.on(eventname, listener) // registers a listener method for the given eventname
app.emit(eventname, data) // emits the event eventname to all event listeners
app.removeListener(eventname, [ listener ]) // removes all or the given listener for eventname
// "Services" are the heart of every Feathers application.
// Services are JavaScript objects (or instances of ES6 classes) that implement certain methods.
// Feathers itself will also add some additional methods and functionality to its services.

// Retrieves a list of all resources from the service.
// Provider parameters will be passed as params.query.

}
// Retrieves a single resource with the given id from the service.
async get(id, params) {}
// Creates a new resource with data.
// The method should return the newly created data. data may also be an array.
async create(data, params) {}
// Replaces the resource identified by id with data.
// The method should return the complete, updated resource data.
// id can also be null when updating multiple records, with params.query containing the query criteria.
async update(id, data, params) {}
// Merges the existing data of the resource identified by id with the new data.
// id can also be null indicating that multiple resources should be patched with params.query containing the query criteria.
async patch(id, data, params) {}
// Removes the resource with id.
// The method should return the removed resource.
// id can also be null, which indicates the deletion of multiple resources, with params.query containing the query criteria.
async remove(id, params) {}
// A special method that initializes the service, passing an instance of the Feathers application
// and the path it has been registered on.
// For services registered before app.listen is invoked, the setup function of each registered service
// is called on invoking app.listen. For services registered after app.listen is invoked, setup is
// called automatically by Feathers when a service is registered.
