"Pouchy is the sugar API for PouchDB that I've been hoping someone would write" @nolanlawson
simple, enhanced PouchDB. Pouchy
wraps & extends PouchDB
and provides various sorely needed sugar methods. further, it assists by standardizing the returned document format. most methods provided are very simple PouchDB-native method modifiers, but are targeted to save you frequent boilerplate re-typing! this library also proxies the PouchDB API directly, so you can use it like a PouchDB instance itself!
install
yarn add pouchy
if you need node support to flush databases to disk, versus using pouchy as an api client to remote couch/pouches, add your preferred adapters too. e.g.:
yarn add pouchy pouchdb-adapter-leveldb
usage
api docs and examples officially live here.
here are some basic examples:
// local, node database
import Pouchy from 'pouchy'
import level from 'pouchdb-adapter-leveldb'
Pouchy.plugin(level)
type Fruit = { type: string, tastes: string }
const fruit = new Pouchy<Fruit>({ name: 'fruit' })
const orange = await fruit.save({ type: 'orange', tastes: 'delicious' })
console.log(orange)
/**
{
type: 'orange',
tastes: 'delicious',
_id: 'EA1F2B55-2482-89C6-907E-6F938C59F734',
_rev: '1-f60b9b7d775a89d280e1f4c07122b863'
}
*/
// local & remote replicated database!
import Pouchy from 'pouchy'
import memory from 'pouchdb-adapter-memory'
Pouchy.plugin(memory)
const customers = new Pouchy({
name: 'customers',
replicate: 'sync',
url: 'http://mydomain.org/db/customers'
})
customers.save({ firstName: 'bill', lastName: 'brasky' })
// wait for it... and couchdb/pouchdb-server @ http://mydomain.org/db/customers
// will receive bill brasky!
why
why use pouchy
over pouchdb
?
- because managing
_id
and_rev
can be obnoxious with pouchdb (no hard feelings, of course).- pouchdb methods return document
_id
s and_rev
s inconsistently. some methods return docs with anid
attribute. some return docs with_id
. the same happens forrev
. - different methods return
_rev
nested under other attributes, vs. being at the top of the document. - pouchy lets you get your documents back in the same way they are represented in the store. if you are expecting an
_id
and a_rev
in a return result, you'll get those attributes back on the top of your documents, every time.
- pouchdb methods return document
- because you need some frequently used sugar methods that aren't keys-included from pouchdb. there are many sugar methods available, make sure to check out the API docs!
- e.g.
.all()
, to get all full documents in your store, in a simple array. - e.g.
.clear()/.deleteAll()
to purge your store of its docs.
- e.g.
- because you want
.find
to return simply an array of docs!- note: pouchy pre-loads the
pouchdb-find
plugin, which is super handy and regularly recommended for use.
- note: pouchy pre-loads the
- because you want to pre-define *ouchdb synchronization behavior on construction! start syncing pronto, declaratively!
