Migrating

Version 5.0.0 of feathers-hooks-common is compatible with Feathers v4 and up.

Deprecations

The following hooks and utilities have been deprecated and replaced with different named alternatives, Feathers v4 or Lodash functionality:

Hooks

• callback-to-promise - Use async/await, native Promises or NodeJS utils.promisify
• client - Use paramsFromClient instead
• disable - Use disallow instead
• disable-multi-item-change - Use the database adapter multi option instead. See the Feathers v4 migration guide for more information.
• disable-multi-item-create - Use the database adapter multi option instead. See the Feathers v4 migration guide for more information.
• pluck - Use iff(isProvider('external'), keep(...fieldNames)) instead
• pluckQuery - Use keepQuery instead
• promiseToCallback - No longer necessary since callbacks have been deprecated in Feathers v3 and later
• removeQuery - Use discardQuery instead
• setCreatedAt - Use setNow instead
• setUpdatedAt - Use setNow instead
• skipRemainingHooks - Use conditional hook chains with iff instead
• skipRemainingHooksOnFlag - Use conditional hook chains with iff instead
• softDelete2 - Use Feathers v4 database adapters and the new softDelete instead

Utilities

Several utility methods have been replaced by Lodash methods which are thoroughly tested and performance optimized in many different environments.

• existsByDot - Use _.has()
• deleteByDot - Use _.omit
• getByDot - Use _.get()
• setByDot - Use _.set()

Safe mutations

Most hooks have been updated to safely delete or add properties by replacing the object on the context with a new object instead of mutating it. This should prevent difficult to debug situations where e.g. params or params.query get changes in nested hooks when passed along.
