API

pouchSeed(db, design, cb)

  • db (object, required) - PouchDB (or compatible) database object
  • design (object, required) - design object
  • cb (function, optional) - callback

Creates a set of CouchDB design documents basing on design object. Each key in design object becomes a separate design document called ('_design/' + key).

If no changes between remote design documents and design object are detected, no updates are sent to CouchDB.

Seed will return a Promise that fulfills with false if no updates were necessary, or the result of the bulkDocs operation if changes were pushed. (You will need a Promise shim if you are using an older browser or version of Node.)

The browser version will export window.pouchSeed.

Updates

(0.3.0) 2016-05-08

You can now use docs with absolutely any JSON schema. All functions in the tree are converted to strings. This will future proof pouchdb-seed-design as the design doc standards evolve. Added browser support.

(0.2.0) 2015-09-16

Added support for filters, lists, shows, and validate_doc_update thanks to Will Holley.
