== Divan, are you insane?

• Do you need to have CouchDB easy access to revisions?
• Sometimes do you need to use just one kind of document per database? And sometimes don't?
• Do you need to use CouchDB without care about activesupport dependencies?
• Do you need to access HTTP headers of the request that returned your document object?

So you are insane! Divan is a comfortable place for you to rest.

== Look how it's easy!

Model class

class InsanePerson < Divan::Models::InsanePerson view_by :name view_by :doctor end

Simple Usage

Acessing HTTP header

Easy accesso to revisions

patient.alive = true patient.ttl = 7 10.times.do if patient.ttl > 0 patient.ttl -= 1 else patient.alive = false break end patient.save end patient.revision(2).rollback # Be carefull, he's back!

Configuration file

insane_person: host: http://127.0.0.1 port: 5984 database: insane_person

== FAQ

1. Why are you not using active_model? Because ActiveModel depends on active_support, and sometimes we want a model library that could be used with Rails 2, or any other project could have conflicted dependencies. ActiveModel is a great library, but it'snt a silver bullet for model libraries.
2. Who needs access to HTTP headers? Sometimes it's interesting to know exactly the time that each document is retuned by database, you can do it calling method last_request in each document.
3. Why dont you use CouchRest? With CouchRest isn't easy to have access to HTTP headers

A better README, documentation and other details
