Comparison of the different service calls

There are three ways of calling a method:

Main service as AuthenticationManagementService with create and action
Separate services (e.g. SendResetPwdService) with create
Main service as AuthenticationManagementService with custom method (e.g. sendResetPassword)

js

// const { AuthenticationManagementService } = require('feathers-authentication-management');
// app.use('auth-management', new AuthenticationManagementService(app, options));

app.service("auth-management").create({
  action: "sendResetPwd",
  value: {
    email: "me@example.com",
  },
});

checkUnique

Checks if the properties are unique in the users items.

js

// const { AuthenticationManagementService } = require('feathers-authentication-management');
// app.use('auth-management', new AuthenticationManagementService(app, options));

app.service('auth-management').create({
  action: 'checkUnique',
  value: identifyUser, // e. g. {email: 'a@a.com'} or  {username: 'jane'}. Props with null or undefined are ignored.
  ownId, // Excludes user with ownId from the search
  meta: { noErrMsg } // if return an error.message if not unique
}
