I am new in pouchdb and I can't understand the API.
I want to know what is the best way to delete all documents with a javascript code. I try many things but nothing seams to work.
Do I have to use some options in the allDocs method like:
db.allDocs({include_docs: true, deleted: true})
Sorry the API is so confusing! If you can let us know how to improve it, that would be helpful. :)
You can either do db.destroy()
, which completely erases the database but does not replicate the deletions, or you can individually remove()
all documents:
db.allDocs().then(function (result) {
// Promise isn't supported by all browsers; you may want to use bluebird
return Promise.all(result.rows.map(function (row) {
return db.remove(row.id, row.value.rev);
}));
}).then(function () {
// done!
}).catch(function (err) {
// error!
});
```
