couchdb-put-interceptor

A dumb CouchDB mock that listens for a PUT and writes the doc to file

Why?!

I wanted Kanso (a build and deployment tool for CouchApps) to build my project to a file so that I could:

• create a build artifact in my company's CI system for maintaining a crumb trail;
• use WebStorm LiveEdit to see my changes appear 'live' in the browser.

The second aspiration isn't really achieved through doing this but I've sure as hell managed to get a snapshot of my app compiled neatly into a single file along with its dependencies. I'll now be able to drop this in storage and rest peacefully in knowing that I can easily roll back to a previous version of my project on demand.
