Do you need feathers setup on the server to use feathers on the client? #196

Hey, I have a quick question.

Do you need to have a feathers socket server to use feathers client socket.io? Or can you connect to a socket.io server from a feathers socket.io client?

Yes, you can use Feathers on the client and implement any kind of custom service that e.g. talks to another REST API or another Socket (see this article for examples).

The question is what kind of Socket API you are looking at. We don't know about many standardized Socket APIs so I think it might make more sense to proxy your API as a service on a Feathers server and access it the same way as any others on the client.
