If you mean to use feathers as a sub app within an express server then you can do so by something like:

// server.js
import express from 'express';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import api from './api';

const app = express();

const init = () => {
  app.use(bodyParser.json());
  app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
  app.use('/api', api);
  const server = app.listen(3001);
  api.setup(server);
};

export const run = () => init();

// api.js
import feathers from 'feathers';
import rest from 'feathers-rest';
import sequelize from 'feathers-sequelize';
import socketio from 'feathers-socketio';

const db = require('../feathers/models');
const api = feathers();

api.configure(socketio());
api.configure(rest());

api.use('/film', sequelize({
  Model: db.film,
  id: 'film_id',
  paginate: {
    default: 10,
    max: 25
  }
}));

export default api;

Now you can access the above at /api/film.

This works fully with the REST or Socket.IO feathers-client as well, and not just as URLs you can access on browser.

// client.js
import feathers from 'feathers/client';
import socketio from 'feathers-socketio/client';
import io from 'socket.io-client';

const host = 'http://localhost:3001';
const client = feathers().configure(socketio(io(host)));

export const filmService = client.service('/api/film');
export default client;
