Question

I have a number of docs with following structure.

{
_id:"",
url:"",
users_linked:[1,2,3...]
}

Whenever a user logs in I want to show him all URLs except those which are linked to hi, my map function does

 for(i in doc.users_linked){ emit(doc.users_linked[i],doc.url); }

Help.

Answer 1

If I understand it correctly, given an user with id==USERID, you want the inverse of querying your view with key=USERID.

The only solution I know, is to do two queries to the view you provided:

• first get all “previous users” with: endkey=USERID&inclusive_end=false
• then get all “following users” with: startkey=<USERID+1>.

I’m assuming from your sample document that userids are numerical.
