Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install connect-nano

var connect = require('connect');
var nano = require('connect-nano');

var app = connect()
  .use(connect.cookieParser())  // connect-nano depends on cookieParser
  .use(nano('http://localhost:5984'))
  .use('/login', function(req, res) {
    req.pipe(req.nano.request({
      method: 'post',
      path: '_session',
      content_type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
    })).pipe(res);
  })
  .use('/session', function(req, res) {
    req.nano.request({ path: '_session' }).pipe(res);
  })
  .use('/me', function(req, res) {
    req.nano.request({ path: '_session' }, function(err, data) {
      if (err) {
        return res.end(err);
      }
      req.nano.use('_users').get('org.couchdb.user:' + data.userCtx.name).pipe(res);
    });
  })
  .listen(3000);
