Feature: ability to CRUD without needing to bind as a feathers service

[dbkaplun]

Theoretically I am passing all the info needed in order for feathers-knex to CRUD with the database. There's no reason why I should have to bind to a URL in order to .create, for example.

P.S. sorry if I'm filing too many issues, feel free to close!

No problem at all, thank you for asking questions!

This seems similar to feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-hooks#25 right? You can use the Knex adapter standalone (have a look at the tests at https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-knex/blob/33dfb50806e5f17186e60e8c4d751d7f29c526d4/test/index.test.js) but as already mentioned in the other issue you won't get any of the hook or real-time functionality or flexible method parameters (e.g. instead of just calling service.create(data) you always have to use service.create(data, {}, function() {})).

Generally, registering a service with your app shouldn't be a big problem considering what you get from it. We probably do need an easier way than special hooks to disable public access though.

Ya I think we should create a proper issue around that. I had one open for disabling service methods but you also might want all the service methods available, just not public.

This can now be done with the disable hook.
