A promise-based CouchDB client for node.js

then-couchdb

then-couchdb is a promise-based CouchDB client for node.js. It supports all the features of CouchDB in a simple, user-friendly package.

Usage

Creating a client.

var couchdb = require('then-couchdb');
var db = couchdb.createClient('http://localhost:5984/my-database');

Save and fetch a single document.

db.save({ name: 'one' }).then(function (doc) {
  assert(doc);
  assert(doc._id);
  assert(doc._rev);

  db.get(doc._id).then(function (doc) {
    assert(doc);
    assert.equal(doc.name, 'one');
  });
});

Save and fetch many documents in bulk.

db.saveAll([
  { name: 'one' },
  { name: 'two' },
  { name: 'three' }
]).then(function (docs) {
  assert(Array.isArray(docs));
  assert.equal(docs.length, 3);

  var keys = docs.map(function (doc) {
    return doc._id;
  });

  db.getAll(keys).then(function (docs) {
    assert(Array.isArray(docs));
    assert.equal(docs.length, 3);
  });
});

then-couchdb's Issues

Dependency on `then-redis`?

Just out of curiosity, why is then-couchdb dependent on then-redis?

URL logic causes an issue when you just want use port 80

Ran into some issues with the client module, at the moment we have:

export COUCHDB_URL=http://me:[email protected]/mydb

And the module is trying to connect on port 5984, rather than using port 80 as expected.

Would be nice if it defaulted to port 80 as expected based the URL.

To overcome this I had to make it.

export COUCHDB_URL=http://me:[email protected]:80/mydb

Just a note, in our setup we have it on port 80 as nginx in front of couchdb.

Cheers
