#PHP on Couch Package for FuelPHP

The following is a proposed implementation of PHP on Couch to be used with the FuelPHP framework.

##Proposed layout

fuel
fuel/core/
fuel/core/vendor/
fuel/core/vendor/phponcouch/couchClient.php
fuel/core/vendor/phponcouch/couchDocument.php
fuel/core/vendor/phponcouch/couchReplicator.php
fuel/packages/
fuel/packages/couch/
fuel/packages/couch/classes/
fuel/packages/couch/classes/client.php
fuel/packages/couch/classes/document.php
fuel/packages/couch/bootstrap.php

##How does it work

The couchdb class extends the couchClient class. Basically, it :

• includes the four PHP on Couch files
• overload the couchClient constructor to read CouchDB server data source name and database name from a config file, instead of getting it through constructor parameters.

##How to use it

• copy the PHP on Couch classes couch.php, couchClient.php, couchDocument.php and couchReplicator.php inside the fuel/core/vendor folder of your FuelPHP application.

• copy the fuel/packages/couch/ folder into the packages folder of your FuelPHP application.

• edit the fuel/app/config/db.php file to set the two configuration options dsn and database :

  'dev' => array( 'type' => 'couch', 'connection' => array( 'dsn' => 'http://username:password@localhost:5984/', 'database' => 'database_name', 'persistent' => false, ), 'table_prefix' => '', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'caching' => false, 'profiling' => false, )
