@ekryski @daffl I also didn’t know well about how mongoose works (I still don’t know , Db is my weakest tool) , but if lean gives us performance and also solves core issues , then i think it should be part of cli tool (as it would help beginers like me). I have been busy for a long while but next week onward i’ll try to figure out the core issue. Also, i just want to say , you guys are REALLY doing an awesome job. I have been using feathers for a project in my company for a while. And it is AWESOME !!! Before starting feathers, i had little to no clue over service based architecture and discovered feathers because meteor wasn’t giving me enough freedom ( too much “magic” happening , if i put it nicely). Thanks a lot.

I’ve had this issue as well for a bit now.

I tried following @madmantalking’s advice but: fix 1: I didn’t want to be updating imported libraries. fix 2: I tried googling how to set lean globally and couldn’t get it to work.

As I’m just playing around with the framework right now I found a not so bad approach to at least continue testing it.

In the generated code file src/services/user/index.js I added lean: true to the options passed into the service:

  const options = {
    Model: user,
    paginate: {
      default: 5,
      max: 25
    },
    lean: true,
  };

  // Initialize our service with any options it requires
  app.use('/users', service(options));

I’m not even sure what the lean option does but at least I can play around with featherjs more now! Maybe that will help someone play around as well until a fix comes out.
