Version tracking for couchdb views with cradle

grave

Manage versioning and updates of your couchdb design documents while using cradle.

var client = require('grave').connect('localhost', 5984);
var db = client.db('webshizzle');

var design = db.design('users', '0.0.2');

design.view('all', {
    map : function (doc) {
        if (doc.type === 'user') emit(doc._id, doc);
    },
});

design.end();

methods

grave.connect(...)

Pass through arguments to cradle.Connection and return a new "client" handle.

client.db(dbname)

Return a cradle database handle with an extra method, db.design().

db.design(name, version)

Start a design with a name and a version. Theversion should be understood by semver.

design.view(name, view)

Define a couchdb view. CouchDB views have map, reduce, and fields of that sort.

design.list(name, list)

Define a couchdb list. CouchDB lists are functions that look like function (head, req) { /* ... */ }.

design.update(name, update)

Define a couchdb update. These look like function (doc, req) { /* ... */ }.

design.end(cb)

Declare the end of the design document definitions and save them to couchdb when the design version is greater than the couchdb version.
