Route-level `mergeParams` doesn't exist for auto aliases
The mergeParams
feature exists at the route-level when declared directly in the API Gateway. However, Auto-alias does not have this feature at the route-level.
At present, auto-alias only supports fullPath
, basePath
, path
and method
.
Aliases should have consistent features, whether they are declared in the gateway service or as auto-aliases.
This inconsistency directly affects the ecosystem of modules and plugins, both official and third-party. They are hindered in their ability to set route-level options in services.
For instance, moleculer-db (an official module) has already indicated its lack of support for a global mergeParams: false
setting in the API Gateway (Issue #83). Should developers really be mandated to use mergeParams: true
when working with moleculer-db?
To cite another case, I'm developing a third-party module named moleculer-mongobubble. It's a mixin that generates actions with auto-aliases, similar to moleculer-db. Due to this issue, it cannot determine if developers have set the mergeParams
flag to true
or false
. This forces me to add extra conditionals to discern how parameters were passed to each action.
so an action level mergeParams
could solve this problem, right? I will check whether it can be implemented or not.
