gulp-couchapp

Gulp extension for installing CouchApps.

Install

npm install gulp-couchapp --save

Usage

var couchapp = require('gulp-couchapp');

gulp.task('push', function () {
  return gulp.src('app.js')
    .pipe(couchapp.push([dbname], [options]));
});

This installs app.js in the specified dbname, or you can use a URL like 'http://domain.com/dbname'.

Options

• scheme: Defaults to http
• host: Defaults to 127.0.0.1
• port: Defaults to 5984
• auth.username + auth.password: You can specify HTTP auth parameters either by using options or a URL like 'http://user:pass@host/dbname'.
• attachments: If you want to push not only the design document, but the _attachments of the App, specify the path to directory.

Basic ddoc

You should write your ddoc in the app.js file.

var ddoc = {
  _id: '_design/myapp',
  rewrites: [
    { from: '_db',     to: '../..' },
    { from: '_db/*',   to: '../../*' },
    { from: '_ddoc',   to: '' },
    { from: '_ddoc/*', to: '*' },
    { from: '/',       to: 'index.html' },
    { from: '/*',      to: '*' }
  ],
  views: {},
  shows: {},
  lists: {},
  validate_doc_update: function(newDoc, oldDoc, userCtx) {
    if (newDoc._deleted === true && userCtx.roles.indexOf('_admin') === -1) {
      throw 'Only admin can delete documents on this database.';
    }
  }
};
module.exports = ddoc;
