How to declare the app in a static way?

[ramsestom]

Seems a pretty dumb question but how can I define my feathers client in one javascript file and use it in multiple other files (whithout having to pass it as a variable parametter)

If I do something like this:
server.js

import 'babel-polyfill';
import feathers from 'feathers/client'
import hooks from 'feathers-hooks';
import rest from 'feathers-rest/client'
import authentication from 'feathers-authentication/client';
import localstorage from 'feathers-localstorage';

export default const app = feathers()
        .configure(rest(host).fetch(fetch))
        .configure(hooks())
        .configure(authentication({
            storage: AsyncStorage
        }));

userHandler.js

import {app} from 'server.js;
...
app.service('users').create(userData).then((result) => {
...
}

messageHandler.js

import {app} from 'server.js;
...
app.service('messages').create(messageData).then((result) => {
...
}

appears that the feathersjs app configuration would be rerun at each import call. So is there a way to configure the feathers client in a static way and to reuse it in other javascript files with import (so without having to pass the app as a variable parametter from class to class)?

That's the way to do it. Imports are only always executed once.

OK. Thanks. I wasn't sure whether the code into server.js would only be executed once or for each import call (so twice here).
