Access to nano or database handler about couchtato

[cliffano]

Sorry, I took c.stool.driver() out following the major refactoring few versions ago, thinking that no one uses it.

The above commit added it back, you should be able to get a handle of the driver using util.driver (object, not function) from the tasks.
At the moment util.driver is what nano(dbUrl).use(dbName) returns, and not nano(dbUrl), because nano(dbUrl) is easy enough to create in couchtato.js by requiring nano itself.

Would this cover what you need?

I think it would and I'm updating the code to use the new util.driver (not util.driver()) mechanism At the moment, util.driver is undefined inside my task though...

Ah, seems that I'm still on 0.1.1, so probably don't have your commit yet...

I just published v0.1.2, please npm install -g couchtato, then couchtato --version to confirm that you get 0.1.2 .

From the task function, you can use util.driver directly, there's no need for 'new'.
E.g.

function (util, doc) {
    util.driver.doSomething();
}

Inspect util.driver to see what nano#use provides.

Please let me know if it works for you.
