loopback-connector-couchbase

The Couchbase Connector module compatible with Loopback 3 and Couchbase 5. This connector uses N1QL to perform queries.

What is N1QL

N1QL is a declarative query language that extends SQL for JSON. N1QL enables you to query JSON documents without any limitations - sort, filter, transform, group, and combine data with a single query.

Getting

Before installing the connector module, make sure you've taken the appropriate steps to install and configure Couchbase Server, the N1QL Engine and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) access.

Running N1QL

Before issuing queries against a Couchbase bucket, run the following command from the query command line to create a primary index on the bucket:

CREATE PRIMARY INDEX ON `bucket-name` USING GSI;

Connector settings

The connector can be configured using the following settings from the data source:

• host (default to 'localhost'): The host name or ip address of the Couchbase server. It couldn't contain special characters.
• port (default to 8091): The port number of the Couchbase server.
• bucket: The bucket name.
• password: The bucket password.
• rbacUsername: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) username.
• rbacPassword: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) password.

Model definition for Couchbase Documents

NOTE: By default, all Couchbase documents will be created with a modelName property which matches the model name. To set a Document Key yourself, simply pass in an id value in the data and the connector will use this id as the id property in the Document as well as for the Document Key itself plus the model name.

We need you
