couchmigrate
A command-line tool to assist with the migration of CouchDB Design Documnents
Installation
npm install -g couchmigrate
Usage
Create a JSON file with your design document in e.g. dd.json
{
"_id": "_design/fetch",
"views": {
"byx": {
"map": "function (doc) {\n emit(doc.x, doc.y);\n }",
"reduce": "_stats"
}
},
"language": "javascript"
}
or a JavaScript file that exports a design document object e.g.
var map = function(doc) {
emit(doc.name, null);
};
module.exports = {
_id: "_design/testy",
views: {
test1: {
map: map.toString(),
reduce: "_count"
}
}
};
Then setup environment variables to point to your instance of CouchDB
export COUCH_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5984
or
export COUCH_URL=https://myusername:[email protected]
Then run couchmigrate
:
couchmigrate --dd dd.json --db mydatabase
- dd - the path to the file containing the design documnet
- db - the name of the database
(if the file extension of dd
is '.json', it is expected to be a JSON document, if it ends in '.js' it is expected to be a JavaScript file that can be require
d in)
If the design document is already present and is identical to the one in the file, no migration will occur, otherwise
- copy old design document to _OLD
- import new design document to _NEW
- trigger the view to make sure it builds
- poll the view to see if it has finished building
- copy _NEW to the real design document name
- delete _NEW
- delete _OLD
- exit
In other words, couchmigrate will only return when the design document has been uploaded, built and has been moved into place.
IAM Auth
Alternatively, if you are using IAM authentication with IBM Cloudant, then supply two environment variables:
COUCH_URL
- the URL of your Cloudant host e.g.https://myhost.cloudant.com
(note absence of username and password in URL).IAM_API_KEY
- the IAM API KEY e.g.ABC123515-151215
