couchbase-views

install couchbase views from directory/files, uses couchbase's node library

You have node code that connects to couchbase via couchnode! But how to keep a connection to the views your queries are using?

couchbase-views aims to enable devs to store couchbase views alongside the code using them. View revisioning can be accomplished by naming of the enclosing design documents.

Usage

couchbase-views expects a directory of views laid out like so:

views-dir
└───design-document-a
    ├───view-a
    │   ├───map.js
    │   └───reduce.js
    ├───view-b
    │   └───map.js
    └───view-c.js

Note that views can be either a js file or a directory with a map.js with an optional reduce.js file.

With this layout, adding these views to your cluster is done via:

var path = require('path');
var couchbase = require('couchbase');
var couchbaseViews = require('couchbase-views'); // vote couchbase-views!

// same connection as before
var cluster = new couchbase.Cluster();
var bucket = cluster.openBucket('default');

// new stuff!
couchbaseViews.connect(bucket)
	.setDesignViews(path.join(__dirname, 'views-dir'));
	// or
    //.setDesignViewsProduction(path.join(__dirname, 'views-dir'));

While simple, API improvements could be had; ideas welcome.
