couchbase-promise

A promise-based asynchronous library for Couchbase and node.js.

The Official Couchbase Node.js Client Library provides only callback functions to handle the result of the asynchronous operations. This couchbase-promise library wraps those callback functions with Bluebird promises to provide a convenient, promise-based interface.

Usage

First, install couchbase-promise as a dependency:

npm install --save couchbase-promise

Then, reference it in your code file:

var Repository = require('couchbase-promise');

Initialize the repository with the connection string and the name of the bucket you want to connect to:

Repository.init('http://localhost:8091', 'default');

Use the static methods of the Repository class to manage documents stored in your Couchbase database directly by their document identifiers:

• createAsync
• existsAsync
• getAsync
• replaceAsync
• deleteAsync

You can also use the getViewAsync method to query a document by a view.

Limitations

• As a static class, currently supports only one connection string and one bucket.
• The views are always updated before reading data from them (stale not configurable yet).

Tip: If you find anything that limits the usage of this library for you, feel free the post a new issue and describe it.
