CouchRest is based on CouchDB's couch.js test library, which I find to be concise, clear, and well designed. CouchRest lightly wraps CouchDB's HTTP API, managing JSON serialization, and remembering the URI-paths to CouchDB's API endpoints so you don't have to.
CouchRest is designed to make a simple base for application and framework-specific object oriented APIs. CouchRest is Object-Mapper agnostic, the parsed JSON it returns from CouchDB shows up as subclasses of Ruby's Hash. Naked JSON, just as it was mean to be.
Note: CouchRest only support CouchDB 0.9.0 or newer.
$ sudo gem install couchrest
CouchRest rests on top of a HTTP abstraction layer using by default Heroku’s excellent REST Client Ruby HTTP wrapper.
As of May 2010 support for the popular CouchRest::ExtendedDocument mixin has been moved to its own gem: couchrest_extended_document.
Most people will probably want to use this library (or one of the alternatives) to make it slightly easier to access your documents.
The most complete documentation is the spec/ directory. To validate your
CouchRest install, from the project root directory run rake, or autotest
(requires RSpec and optionally ZenTest for autotest support).
