CouchDB + Django + Couchdbkit

Just some notes for future use.

Installing CouchDB:

• sudo apt-get install couchdb

Couchdbkit:

• Searching by key: Document.view('document/all’, key=’’, startkey=’’, endkey=’’)
• Pushing the view: push(’/path/to/view’, db)
• When pushing make sure not to include the view/all folder, only include the name of the document itself. For example, if you have a document named Greeting and wanted to create a map.js file for the 'all’ view then the path has to look like this:

/path/_design/Greeting/views/all
/path/_design/Greeting/views/all/map.js

Then you would push it like this:

push(’/path/_design/Greeting’, db)

CouchDB:

• /etc/couchdb/default.ini
• Cannot bind to more than one IP address (look into using proxies)
• Key can be a list, not just a value
• Can use emit() multiple times in the same map function
