app.get('auth') vs app.get('authentication')

[brenmcnamara]

Maybe I'm not understanding the code, but it seems that app.get(<something>) fetches from the relevant config file in the /config directory.

In the documentation here, it suggests the name of this config should be 'auth' for the authentication config. In addition, the code in feathers-authentication-local and feathers-authentication-jwt make the assumption that their configs can be fetched using app.get('auth'). However, when using the generator to generate the authentication service:

feathers generate authentication

The config file is modified to have an "authentication" config, not "auth". Is this correct?

I believe the modules default location needs to be updated.

Yes this was changed in the generator but was never updated in the auth modules. I think because the generator is set up to pass the auth configs explicitly this wasn't caught sooner. I have PRs coming.
