Feathersjs socketio how to correctly set params.route?

I have a Feathersjs API which using REST can serve a GET request to a URL like http://server.com/service-name/:fieldName where fieldName has a string value. The API assigns the value of fieldName to params.query.

While developing a React Native app, I am trying to make the same request using feathers socketio client. The request looks like this: 

return this.app.service('service-name/:fieldName').find({
  query:{fieldName='value'}
}).then(response => {
  console.log('data from server', response.data); // ignore this console format
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

The request above makes it to the server, but the value of fieldName is either undefined or some other unwanted value because the server returns an empty result set. I have also read that the setSlug hook would be an option, but I am not sure how to do it.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue by sending the real value of fieldName in the request to the server?

[Edit] After checking the logs on the API server, I found out that a REST API request has the correct params.route object:

object(9) {
    ["query"] => object(0) {}
    ["route"] => object(1) {
        ["fieldName"] => string(5) "value"
    }
    ...

The params.route is empty with the socketio request:

object(9) {
    ["query"] => object(0) {}
    ["route"] => object(0) {}
    ["connection"] => object(6) {
        ["provider"] => string(8) "socketio"
        ["payload"] => object(1) {
            ["userId"] => number(3)
        }
    ...

While I'm relieved to know where the problem is, would anyone please tell me how to correctly set params.route in React Native using a socketio request?

You can use a normal route just like with HTTP which will set params.route with fieldName:

return this.app.service('service-name/something').find({}).then(response => {
  console.log('data from server', response.data); // ignore this console format
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

Will set { params: { route: { fieldName: 'something' } } }
