PouchDB as an HTTP-only package

pouchdb-http

PouchDB as an HTTP-only package.

The pouchdb-http preset only contains the HTTP adapter, i.e. the adapter that allows PouchDB to talk to CouchDB using the format new PouchDB('http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb').

Use this preset if you only want to use PouchDB as an interface to CouchDB (or a Couch-compatible server).

Usage

npm install pouchdb-http

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb-http');
var db = new PouchDB('http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb');

Note that this preset doesn't come with map/reduce (i.e. the query() API). If you want that, then you should do:

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb-http')
  .plugin(require('pouchdb-mapreduce'));
