Additional Functions

initialize

Initialize will set up Nano to authenticate to the couchdb. Pass in the couchdb url, username, pass and database name.

couchdb.initialize("http://localhost:5984", "admin", "pass", "database").then(function (response) {
}, function (reason) {
});

merge

Merge will get the latest document matching the _id of your new document. Then it will copy over the top level properties from your object into the document and update it. No _rev is needed.

 couch.merge ({_id: "19191", name: "Steve"}).then( function (body) {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(body));
    }, function (err) {
        console.log(err);
    });

replace

Input a document with an _id to update. Replace will get the latest revision and update it with the input document. No _rev is needed.

couch.replace({_id: "19191", name: "Steve", weight: "130"}).then( function (body) {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(body));
    }, function (err) {
        console.log(err);
    });

delete

Input a document Id as the key and delete will delete the latest rev of this document. No _rev is needed

couch.delete("19191").then( function (body) {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(body));
    }, function (err) {
        console.log(err);
