I'm trying to pick up FeathersJS right now and I will tell you it is hard to find ANY examples of complex queries translated to the ORM's logic. I can find bits and pieces but without any sense of the underlying purpose.
There are 500 tutorials of installing Feathers and making a CRUD app, but something as simple as combining results from two requests or doing a raw DB request seems to exist only deep in the docs (and more often than not, requires bonus functionality from an add-on).
I am familiar with managing databases and I can see benefits of ORMs, but I feel like "glue" technologies could benefit from deeper real-world examples that move beyond day 1 tutorials and get into translating existing code to their style. Half the time I am left digging through outdated github code to grasp the basics of how and where mid-level functionality can be used.
