node-couchdb-client

A typescript package built around the CouchDB API for NodeJS using OOP practices. The foundation of this repo was inspired by pmorjan/couchdb-promise!

  • Written in typescript
  • Uses request-promise under the hood
  • Object Oriented for easy dependency injection

Getting started

npm i earthtoday-node-couchdb-client

Once the package is installed, you just need to import it and use it!

import { CouchDB } from 'earthtoday-node-couchdb-client';

// Instatiate new CouchDB request class
const couchDb = new CouchDb({
    auth: {
        username: 'admin',
        password: 'password'
    }
});

Documentation

Overview

new CouchDb()

Parameters:

  • host (string | optional | default: 127.0.0.1) - The domain that the couchDb is located at
  • port (number | optional| default: 5984) - The port that couchDb is running on
  • auth (object | optional)
    • username (string) - The basic auth username
    • password (string) - The basic auth password
  • logging (boolean | optional | default: false) - Use this to turn on logging of all requests
  • defaultDatabase (string | optional) - You can set the default database for database specific calls

Request Example:

new CouchDb({
    host: 'https://couchdb.example.com';
    port: 1433;
    auth: {
        username: 'admin',
        password: 'password'
    },
    logging: true
    defaultDatabase: 'test'
})

.catch()

Whenever the API makes a call and runs into a catch block, you will get an error block that looks consistently like this:

  • error (Error) - The exception that was thrown
  • status (number) - The HTTP Status Code
  • message (string) - The HTTP error message (some are custom mapped)
  • duration (number) - How long the response took in miliseconds Response Example:
{
    error: Error
    status: 500,
    message: 'Internal Server Error',
    duration: 300
}

Documents

findDocuments({ dbName?: string, findOptions: any }) POST /{db}/_find

Find documents using a declarative JSON querying syntax. Queries can use the built-in _all_docs index or custom indices, specified using the _index endpoint.

Parameters:

  • dbName (string | optional | _default: couchDb.defaultDatabase)
  • findOptions:
    • selector (json | required) – A JSON object describing criteria used to select documents. More information provided in the section on selector syntax.
    • limit (number | otional) – Maximum number of results returned. Default is 25.
    • skip (number | optional) – Skip the first ‘n’ results, where ‘n’ is the value specified.
    • sort (json | optional) – JSON array following sort syntax.
    • fields (array | optional) – JSON array specifying which fields of each object should be returned. If it is omitted, the entire object is returned. More information provided in the section on filtering fields.
    • use_index (string|array | optional | default: 1) – Instruct a query to use a specific index. Specified either as "<design_document>" or ["<design_document>", "<index_name>"].
    • r (number | optional) – Read quorum needed for the result. This defaults to 1, in which case the document found in the index is returned. If set to a higher value, each document is read from at least that many replicas before it is returned in the results. This is likely to take more time than using only the document stored locally with the index.
    • bookmark (string | optional) – A string that enables you to specify which page of results you require. Used for paging through result sets. Every query returns an opaque string under the bookmark key that can then be passed back in a query to get the next page of results. If any part of the selector query changes between requests, the results are undefined.
    • update (boolean | optional) – Whether to update the index prior to returning the result. Default is true.
    • stable (boolean | optional) – Whether or not the view results should be returned from a “stable” set of shards.
    • stale (string | optional) – Combination of update=false and stable=true options. Possible options: "ok", false (default)
    • execution_stats (boolean | optional | default: false) – Include execution statistics in the query response.

Request Example:

couchDb.findDocuments({
    dbName: 'testDB',
    findOptions: {
        selector: {
            year: {'$gt': 2010}
        },
        fields: ['_id', '_rev', 'year', 'title'],

        skip: 0,
        execution_stats: true
    }
