couch-compile

Build CouchDB documents from directory, JSON or module.

BuildStatus

var compile = require('couch-compile');
compile('/my/couch/app', function(err, doc) {
  // push
});

Usage

compile(directory, [options], callback)

Options

When options.multipart is true, attachments are handled as multipart.

callback

callback is called with two arguments: error and doc. In case options.multipart is set, callback is called with a third argument: attachments. This is a multipart attachments array as required by nanos db.multipart.insert:

{
  name: 'rabbit.png',
  content_type: 'image/png',
  data: <Buffer>
}

data can be a Buffer or a String.

CLI

A simple commandline client is included:

npm install -g couch-compile

Give it a directory, or use the current one:

couch-compile /my/couch/app

The Couch Directory Tree

couch-compile uses a filesystem mapping similar to Couchapp python tool and Erika: The Couchapp Filesystem Mapping.

It is quite self-explanatory. For example:

myapp
├── _id
├── language
└── views
    └── numbers
        ├── map.js
        └── reduce.js

becomes:

{
  "_id": "_design/myapp",
  "language": "javascript",
  "views": {
    "numbers": {
      "map": "function...",
      "reduce": "function..."
    }
  }
}

See test/fixtures and test/expected for usage examples.

File Extensions

For property names file extensions will be stripped:

{
  "validate_doc_update": "content of validate_doc_update.js",
}

Attachments

Files inside the \_attachments directory are handled special: They become attachment entries of the form

{
  "a/file.txt": {
    "data": "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQhCg==",
    "content_type": "text/plain"
  }
}

The content\_type is computed using mime. data is the base64 encoded value of the file.
