Feathers: Socketio request send empty params.route

[intumwa]

Steps to reproduce

I have a Feathersjs API which using REST can serve a GET request to a URL like http://server.com/service-name/:fieldName where fieldName has a string value. The API assigns the value of fieldName to params.query.

While developing a React Native app, I am trying to make the same request using feathers socketio client. The request looks like this:

return this.app.service('service-name/:fieldName').find({
  query:{fieldName='value'}
}).then(response => {
  console.log('data from server', response.data); // ignore this console format
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

After checking the logs on the API server, I found out that a REST API request has the correct params.route object:

object(9) {
    ["query"] => object(0) {}
    ["route"] => object(1) {
        ["fieldName"] => string(5) "value"
    }
    ...

The params.route is empty with the socketio request:

object(9) {
    ["query"] => object(0) {}
    ["route"] => object(0) {}
    ["connection"] => object(6) {
        ["provider"] => string(8) "socketio"
        ["payload"] => object(1) {
            ["userId"] => number(3)
        }
    ...

Could some please tell me how to correctly set params.route in React Native using a socketio request?

I highly recommend updating your Node and Feathers version to the latest (you are using old module names from two versions ago) which allows to do what I already mentioned on Stackoverflow

return this.app.service('service-name/something').find({}).then(response => {
  console.log('data from server', response.data); // ignore this console format
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

Thanks a lot @daffl . You are a hero!
