Install

Add this module to your sails.js project:

$ npm install sails-couchdb-orm --save

Example entry in config/connections.js:

couch: {                                                                       
  adapter: 'sails-couchdb-orm',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5984,
  username: 'myuser',
  password: 'mypassword'                                 
}

Use

Example use in a model models/MyModel.js, specifying the adapter defined above:

module.exports = {
  adapter: 'couch',
  migrate: 'safe',
  id: {
    primaryKey: true,
    type: 'string'
  },
  attributes: {
    name: 'string',
    //...
  }
}

Or set "couch" as the default adapter for all models, inside config/models.js:

module.exports.models = {
  connection: 'couch'
};

Class methods

Besides the usual Waterline stuff, this adapter also provides the class methods merge, authenticate and session.

TODO docs

Merge

Merge some attributes into one document.

Example:

var someAttributes = {
  lastName: 'Simpson',
  favoriteFood: 'beer'
};

var id = '[email protected]';

User.merge(id, someAttributes, function(err, homer) {
  // ...
});

Authenticate

Authenticate against the CouchDB user database (_users).

Example:

var username = req.param('username');
var password = req.param('password');

Users.authenticate(username, password, function(err, sessionId, username, roles) {
  // ...
});

Session

Get the CouchDB session object.

Example:

var sessionId = req.cookies.sid;
Users.session(sessionId, function(err, session) {
  // ...
});

Waterline

Waterline is a brand new kind of storage and retrieval engine.

It provides a uniform API for accessing stuff from different kinds of databases, protocols, and 3rd party APIs. That means you write the same code to get users, whether they live in MySQL, LDAP, MongoDB, or Facebook.
