couchdbjs

couchdbjs is node.js client for couchdb.

Install

$ npm install couchdbjs --save

Create a couchdbjs object

const Couchdbjs = require('couchdbjs');
const db = new Couchdbjs(dbname, options);

Note : Here DB is the object of the class couchdbjs.

Here options is an optional javascript object containing the configuration. This is the default configuration.

{
    protocol : 'http:',
    hostname: 'localhost',
    port: 5984
}

dbname is the name of the database.

Generate a new uuid

Couchdbjs.getNewId(options, cb);

Here options is optional configuration object. This is the default configuration.

{
    protocol : 'http:',
    hostname : 'localhost',
    port: 5984
    count : 1
}

cb is reqired callback function with two parameters err and data. To avoid writing configurations for protocol, hostname, etc. again the function getConfig can be called on existing database object.

db.getConfig({count : 1});

returns

{
    protocol : 'http:',
    hostname : 'localhost',
    port: 5984
    count : 1
}

Complete Example :

Couchdbjs.getNewId(db.getConfig({count : 1}, function(err, data) {
    if (err) console.error(err);
    else console.log(data[0]); // data is array of uuids
}));
