couchdb-love

simple couchdb love client

• request-promise centric

  • build requestOptions as for request-promise.

• cookie authentication

  • handles session management (creation & persistence)
  • inserts sessionid into headers.
  • increased security
  • must configure couchdb for cookie authentication

• performance logging

  • query performance info logged at:
    • {logpath}/stderr.log (error logging).
    • {logpath}/stdout.log
  • log records are JSON objects.

configurations

local.ini

[couch_httpd_auth]
allow_persistent_cookies = true

config

{
  host: 'http://localhost',
  port: 5984,
  username: 'username',
  password: 'password',
  logpath: __dirname + '/../log'
};

logpath: where peformance log statements are stored.

1 init couchdb-love

const CLove = require('../lib')(Config);
// or
const CLove2 = new require('../lib')(Config2);

note use "new" when muliple users.

2 Build a request with a promise

const requestOptions = (session) => {

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

        const options = {
            method: 'PUT',
            uri: Config.host + ':' + Config.port + '/test_uuser',
            headers: {
                'X-Couchdb-WWW-Authenticate': 'Cookie',
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
                'Cookie': 'AuthSession=' + session.cookie
            },
            resolveWithFullResponse: true,
            json: true, // Automatically parses the JSON string in the response
            requestError: 'Failed to destroy database \"test_uuser\".'  // @note must have for error message.
        };

        resolve(options);
    });

request options must be built using a promise as illustrated above. couchdb-love utilizes promises and generator functions to build a simple request lifecycle. Lifecycle:

• generate session
• load requestOptions
• begin logging
• execute request
• tail - print log statements
• return result to user

If you do not use a promise to load requestOptions, the lifecycle will break.

3 next pass requestOptions to couchdb-love

    const CLove = require('couchdb-love')(Config);

    CLove.request(requestOptions, (err, result) => {

        expect(result.statusCode).to.equal(201);
        done(err);
    });

4 relax and make more request
