backbone-pouch-collection v0.3.1

backbone-pouch-collection

Hooks up PouchDB to a Backbone collection. Allows you to easily retrieve your data from CouchDB/PouchDB views.

Installation

npm install backbone-pouch-collection

Usage (with Browserify)

Define the query options in your collection definition. opts can be an object or a function which returns an object. You also need to provide a PouchDB instance to your collection.

opts.view can also be _all_docs to query...well... _all_docs.

The defaults are _all_docs and include_docs: true.

var PouchBase = require('backbone-pouch-collection')

var Collection = PouchBase.extend({
  db: new Pouchdb('foo'),
  opts: {
    view: 'your/viewname',
    params: {
      // all the (c/p)ouchdb view params you want
    }
  }

  myMethod: function () {}
})

You can also pass options to collection.fetch() to override the default.

// fetch() returns a promise
collection.fetch({
  couch: {
    // all the (c/p)ouchdb view params you want
  }
})
