couch-daemon-bridge

Ease the use of CouchDBs os_daemons with node.

Usage

var daemon = require('couch-daemon-bridge')();

// Log a message
daemon.info('My daemon is starting.');
daemon.debug('I have so much wow...');
daemon.error('An error occured!');

// Request configuration
daemon.get('httpd', function(err, data) {
  // data is now an object holding the whole httpd section
});
daemon.get('httpd.bind_address', function(err, data) {
  // data is now a string holding the value
});

Environment Variables

Every configuration can be overridden via environment variable:

export HTTPD_BIND_ADDRESS="93.184.216.119"

var daemon = require('couch-daemon-bridge')();

// Request configuration
daemon.get('httpd.bind_address', function(err, data) {
  // data is now a string holding the value of HTTPD_BIND_ADDRESS if present
});

Configuration

couch-daemon-bridge takes an object as an optional argument:

• stdin: input stream. Default is process.stdin.
• stdout: output stream. Default is process.stdout.
• exit: function which is called when stdin closes. Default is to call process.exit(0).
