As I am new to CouchDB, I wanted to create the view using a node-couchdb module?
I am able to create a view using UI(Futon), but I want to create a view using node code using a node-couchdb module. Also, how can I add a design document? Is adding document and design document same?
Can anybody please help?
We can create views or design document using node-couchdb module as:
couch.insert(_dbname, {
"_id": "_design/query-demo",
"views": {
"full-name": {
"map": "function (doc) { emit(doc._id, doc);}"
}
},
"language": "javascript"
});
Here in this example, full-name will be the view name and query-demo will be the design doc name
And we can get the data from that view as:
couch.get(_dbname, '_design/query-demo/_views/full_name', {}).then(({ data, headers, status }) => {
console.log(data);
// data is json response
// headers is an object with all response headers
// status is statusCode number
}, err => {
console.log(err);
// either request error occured
// ...or err.code=EDOCMISSING if document is missing
// ...or err.code=EUNKNOWN if statusCode is unexpected
});
