I’m trying to write a web application using nodejs and couchdb. In couch i store content of my seperates page. What is my problem..

i would have a nice urls like this:

http://mypage.com/content/1/blabla-detail.html
http://mypage.com/content/2/blabla-detail.html
http://mypage.com/content/5/blabla-detail.html
http://mypage.com/content/n/blabla-detail.html

generally

http://mypage.com/content/{OID}/blabla-detail.html

so i need some kind like a autoincrement in couchdb. Offcourse i can use a _id – it is a unique in couchdb but … uuid in couch is long hash … i don’t want this long hash in my urls 🙁 i looking some unique but short values.

I just thinking about creating view to get count of all rows in documents but … what in case when at this same time few user will save a new element. There will be problem – couchdb has not a transaction.

I’m stuck.

Can anyone help me to resolve this problem ?

    I am not sure if I got your question.
    So you have a CDB database that you store your separate pages of your blog as documents. Then you want to reach those documents via their _id’s which are stored as unique hashes. Am I right? Since those hashes are dirty, you want to give them unique, but prettier numbers.

    If so, I can recommend you to use Ektorp API. Here, you connect to the database via CouchDBConnector and then you can call all of your documents via the method getAllDocIds as a List<String>. Then simply you can write REST services, and can give better ids. Hope it helps.
