A Cloudant wrapper to facilitate use of the official Cloudant Node.js Module.
You can put me in your package.json dependencies. The npm tool can do this for you, from the command line:
$ npm install --save cloudant-wrapper
Now it's time to begin doing real work with Cloudant and Node.js.
Initialize your Cloudant connection by supplying your username and password in the url of Cloudant.
// Load the cloudant-wrapper library.
var Cloudant = require('cloudant-wrapper');
// Initialize the library with my account (through URL).
var urlCloudant = "https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@URL";
var nameDB = "my-companies-database";
var options = {'timestamp': true};
var cloudant = Cloudant(urlCloudant, nameDB, options);
// Now, you can call any method of the module
cloudant.create({"name": "IBM Research New York", "location": "New York, USA"}, function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
console.log("Doc created!", result);
}
});The create method allows insert a new document in database.
cloudant.create(doc, callback)- doc contains the data to insert in database.
- callback a function to return the error or result object (with the doc ID) of the insertion.
Example:
cloudant.create({"name": "IBM Research New York", "location": "New York, USA"}, function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
// Result is an object that contains some information about the insertion like the ID of the doc.
console.log("Doc created!", result);
}
});The update method allows update a document in database from ID.
cloudant.update(id, fields, callback)- id id of the document to modify.
- fields contains the data to update in the document identified by the id in database.
- callback a function to return the error or result object of the modification.
Example:
cloudant.update("ID", {"location": "New Jersey, United States"}, function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
console.log("Doc updated!", result);
}
});The update method allows update a document in database from ID.
cloudant.delete(id, callback)- id id of the document to delete.
- callback a function to return the error or ok string.
Example:
cloudant.delete("ID", function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
console.log("Doc deleted!");
}
});The view method allows call a view of the Cloudant database.
cloudant.view(ddocName, viewName, query, callback)- ddocName Name of the Design Document that contains the Cloudant view.
- viewName Name of the View in the Design Document ddocName.
- query Options to the view (include_docs, group, reduce, etc.).
- callback a function to return the error or the result object.
The result object has the next structure:
{
"total": 4815162342,
"offset": 0,
"data":[{}, {}, {}]
}Example:
cloudant.view("MyDoc", "myView", {include_docs:true}, function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
console.log("Results:", result);
}
});The viewList method allows call a view of the Cloudant database combined with a list method.
cloudant.viewList(ddocName, viewName, listName, query, callback)- ddocName Name of the Design Document that contains the Cloudant view.
- viewName Name of the View in the Design Document ddocName.
- listName Name of the List in the Design Document ddocName to call after view.
- query Options to the view (include_docs, group, reduce, etc.).
- callback a function to return the error or the result object.
The result object has the next structure:
{
"total": 4815162342,
"data":[{}, {}, {}]
}Example:
cloudant.viewList("MyDoc", "myView", "orderByValue", {}, function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
console.log("Results:", result);
}
});The search method allows call a Search Index of the Cloudant database.
cloudant.search(ddocName, searchName, query, callback)- ddocName Name of the Design Document that contains the Cloudant Search Index.
- searchName Name of the Search Index in the Design Document ddocName.
- query Options to the search Index (include_docs, q, limit, bookmark, etc.).
- callback a function to return the error or the result object.
The result object has the next structure:
{
"total": 4815162342,
"bookmark": "BOOKMARK_STRING",
"data":[{}, {}, {}]
}Example:
cloudant.search("MyDoc", "mySearch", {include_docs:true, q:"name:/.*IBM.*/"}, function(err, result) {
if (err){
console.log("An error occurred:", err);
} else {
console.log("Results:", result);
}
