couchdb-remove-conflicts

CLI tool to remove all conflicts from a CouchDB database

CLI Usage

# npm install --global couchdb-remove-conflicts 
couchdb-remove-conflicts <url>

Module Usage

var couchdbRemoveConflicts = require('couchdb-remove-conflicts')
couchdbRemoveConflicts(url, function (error, result) {
  if (error) {
    throw error
  }
 
  console.log(result)
})

option

The <url> CLI argument or couchdbRemoveConflicts(url, callback) option must be a URL of a CouchDB database or CouchDB root.

Examples

• http://localhost:5984/dbname
  deletes all conflicts in dbname
• http://username:[e-mail]/dbname
  deletes all conflicts in dbname, authenticates with username:password
• http://username:[e-mail]
  deletes all conflicts in all databases at the given CouchDB url

How it work

The url option gets passed to nano. If the url is a CouchDB root, then all databases are fetched (one by one), otherwise only the one for the passed URL.

For each database, all docs are fetched with ?include_docs=true&conflicts=true and then separate DELETE /<dbname>/<docid>?rev=<rev> requests are sent for every conflict, with max. 100 requests at once.

TODOs

• add tests :)
• add options to limit series of DELETE requests and database handling
• allow to pass in username & password as {auth: { username, password } }
