Couch Data Stream

Couch Data Stream is a smart pagination for couchdb that emits several events for the requested data. Also includes self retry for those big couch databases that needs to re-compile their views.

It does not include a couchdriver (maybe future TODO) and it must be passed. Couch Data Stream was designed to work with nano; see documentation on how to use nano.

##Usage

couchdatastream = require('couchdatastream');

couchdatastream.displayLogs = false //optional

nano = require('nano');

var couchdb = nano('Your_Couch_Uri');
var targetDatabase = couchdb.use('Target_Database_Name');


paginator = new couchdatastream.ViewPaginator(
	targetDatabase,
	{
		_design : 'your_design_doc',
		_view   : 'your_view'
	},
	{
		startkey     : [],
		endkey       : [],
		limit        : <integer>,
		include_docs : <bool>
		reduce       : <bool>
	}
)

paginator.on('rows',function(rows){
	//Do something with your results

	paginator.next();
});

paginator.on('error',function(err){
	//Handle here the error

	paginator.end();
});

paginator.on('end',function(){
	//we are done here
});

//start the pagination
paginator.next();

##TODO

• Add nano inside the package and require less things
• Rewrite the code as coffeescript (maybe litcoffee)
