Allow developers to initialize the Rest and Socket config separately

[Dahkenangnon]

Add offline database support Add synchronization with remote api

Seem like they'd be ideal!

These would be incredible features 🚀
If it isn't possible yet: Allow developers to initialize the Rest and Socket config separately (especially the baseUrl) or as the official feathers-client, let the developer decide whether to work only with socket or rest. An example:

I host a Feathers API behind a reverse proxy at https://my-app.com/api - then the socket configuration would still need the https://my-app.com/ because the baseUrl of https://my-app.com/api would imply that the socket.io uses "api" as the namespace. On the other hand, the Rest API would still need the https://my-app.com/api as baseUrl. Therefore this should be configurable separately.

An idea for this could be, to initialize the package in flutter like the feathers package. Therefore to keep the mentality of feathers to be independent of the transportation mode and the package is easily extendable for the Primus Client for example.

A example initialization could be:

Socket.io

import 'package:flutter_feathersjs/flutter_feathersjs.dart';
import 'package:socket_io_client/socket_io_client.dart' as IO;

FlutterFeathersjs client = FlutterFeathersjs();
IO.Socket io = IO.io(baseUrl)

client.configure(FlutterFeathersjs.socket(io));

client.service('messages').create({
  text: 'A new message'
});

Rest (With Dio)

import 'package:flutter_feathersjs/flutter_feathersjs.dart';
import 'package:dio/dio.dart';

FlutterFeathersjs client = FlutterFeathersjs();
Dio dio = Dio(BaseOptions(
      baseUrl: baseUrl,
      headers: extraHeaders
));

client.configure(FlutterFeathersjs.rest(dio));

client.service('messages').create({
  text: 'A new message'
});

Please wait a bit.

Have a good morning.
