Couchdb at Nodejs

Question

I am just starting with couchdb in nodejs. I am looking for a tutorial or article to help me get started, or at least some lines of code. I do not want to use any module to abstract db, because it will defeat the purpose of training. I am looking to create my own module that works with Couch, and from my understanding this can easily be done using the request module https://github.com/mikeal/request , but I don’t know. We did not know anything about this. Thanks!

Answer 1

I wrote a blog post about this, I hope it helps you:

Answer 2

Check out Nano: https://github.com/dscape/nano

This is exactly what you are trying to do.

Answer 3

Check out this module: https://github.com/cloudhead/cradle is very useful to get started with couchdb on nodejs. Just take a look at the main reading on github

Answer 4

To get started with CouchDB without a nice intermediate cradle type, I would recommend CouchDB: The Definitive Guide . This helped me a lot when developing CouchQueue , a Node.js module for creating queues from CouchDB databases.

Answer 5

Nano is the easiest way to interact with CouchDB. http://www.tutorialindustry.com/node-js-couchdb-tutorial-for-beginners

You can also use Cradle (high-level, caching, CouchDB client for Node.js) - https://github.com/cloudhead/cradle
