Question

i’ve learned couchdb for a year…
i’ve tried bigcouch too…

now i want to try couchbase, i’ve studied it 2 days, but i still don’t know how to access couchbase from couchdb REST API (using NODEJS)…

i’ve tried to searching on google how to access couchbase, and i got this answer

var memcache = require('./node-memcache');

var client = new memcache.Client(11211,'localhost')

client.on('connect',function(){
  console.log("connect to memcache\n\n");

  client.version(function(error,result){
      console.log(error?error:result);
      client.close();             
  })
})

client.on('timeout',function(){
  console.log('connection timeout');
})

client.on('error',function(e){
  console.log(e);
})

client.connect();

i think the sample above is not access couchbase directly, but i access memcache..
is there any sample code about how to access couchbase via couchdb REST API…?
i’m sorry my english bad

Answer 1

There’s an asynchronous library called ‘baseview‘ to access views and the REST API from Couchbase. It’s derived from the CouchDB library ‘nano‘ and quite easy to get data from the views etc.

npm install baseview

baseview = require('baseview')('http://127.0.0.1:8092')
baseview.view('design_doc', 'view_name', function(error, data) {
  console.log(error, data);
});
