An underscore API for PouchDB with added bonuses!

npm install underpouch

usage

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb')
var _pouch = require('underpouch')

var db = new PouchDB('db')

Now you can query PouchDB with familiar _.underscore functions:

_pouch.findWhere(db, { author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611 }, (err, doc) => {
    //doc = { _id: 'example', _rev: 'xxx...', title: "Cymbeline", author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611 }
})

(note that the following examples return docs with _id and _rev but are trimmed, unless otherwise indicated, for brevity)

Collections (for sifting, sorting docs)

---

find
_pouch.find(db, truthTest, callback)
Looks through each doc in the db, returning the first one that passes a truth test.

  _pouch.find(db, (doc) => doc.magicNumber % 2 == 0, (err, doc) => {
    //doc = { name: 'magicDoc', magicNumber: 2 }
  })

filter
_pouch.filter(db, truthTest, callback)
Looks through each doc in the db, returning an array of docs that pass a truth test.

  _pouch.filter(db, (doc) => doc.number % 2 == 0, (err, docs) => {
    //docs = [{ number: 2 }, { number: 4 }, { number: 6 }}
  })

where
_pouch.where(db, properties, callback)
Looks through each doc in the db, returning an array of all the docs that contain all of the key-value pairs listed in properties.

  _pouch.where(playsDb, { author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611 }, (err, docs) => {
    /*docs = [{ title: "Cymbeline", author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611 },
    { title: "The Tempest", author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611 }] */
  })

findWhere
_pouch.findWhere(db, properties, callback)
Looks through the list and returns the first value that matches all of the key-value pairs listed in properties.

  _pouch.findWhere(db, {newsroom: "The New York Times"}, (err, doc) => {
    //doc = { year: 1918, newsroom: "The New York Times", reason: "For its public service in publishing in full so many official reports, documents and speeches by European statesmen relating to the progress and conduct of the war."}  
  })

max
Returns the doc with the maximum value. If no iteratee function is provided, defaults to _.id (parseInt will be used).

  _pouch.max(db, (stoogeDoc) => stoogeDoc.age, (err, doc) => {
    //doc = { name: 'curly', age: 60 }
  })

all !
_pouch.all(db, callback)
Returns an array of all the docs in the db

  _pouch.all(db, (err, allDocs) => {
    //allDocs = [{_id: 'all'},{_id: 'the'}, {_id: 'docs'}]
  })

deleteNow !
_pouch.deleteDocs(db, docOrDocId, callback)
Deletes a given document without requiring revision or giving up on conflict (adds { _deleted : true })

  let doc = { _id : 'any' , _rev : 'thing' }
  _pouch.deleteNow(db, doc, (err) => {
    //err if doc not found
  })

deleteDocs !
_pouch.deleteDocs(db, callback)
Deletes all docs in database, without deleting the database (adds { _deleted : true } to each doc)

  _pouch.deleteDocs(db, (err, res) => {
    //res is a list of the ids/revs of the deleted docs
  })

Object Functions (for modifying docs)

---

extend
_pouch.extend(db, destinationDocId, sourceDoc, callback)
Copy all of the properties in the source doc over to the destination doc, put and return the destination doc with its updated rev. It's in-order, so the last source will override properties of the same name in previous arguments.

  _pouch.extend(db, 'user', { email: jeff@gmail.com }, (err, updatedDoc) => {
    //updatedDoc = { email: "[email protected]", name: "Jeff", age: 35 }
  })

extendPut !
_pouch.extendPut(db, destinationDocId, sourceDoc, callback)
Like _pouch.extend but put()'s the sourceDoc even if destination doc is not existing.

  _pouch.extendPut(db, { 'some-id-that-doesnt-exist', {name: "Sara"}, (err, extendedDoc) => {
    //extendedDoc = { _id: "some-id-that-doesnt-exist", name: "Sara" }
  })

extendPutOrPost !
_pouch.extendPutOrPost(db, destinationDoc, sourceDoc, callback)
Like _pouch.extendPut but will post() the doc if no id is provided.

  _pouch.extendPut(db, {name: "Sara"}, (err, extendedDoc) => {
    //extendedDoc = { _id: "262db426-2b2a...", name: "Sara" }
  })

merge ! (lodash)
_pouch.merge(db, destinationDocId, sourceDoc, callback)
Like _pouch.extend but uses lodash's merge so that child properties are merged, not overwritten. Ie: _pouch.extend will overwrite properties whereas _pouch.merge will merge them.

  //originalDoc = { _.id: 'food', fruits: ['mango', 'lemon']}
  _pouch.merge(db, 'food', { fruits: ['lime, kiwi'] }, (err, updatedDoc) => {
    //updatedDoc = { _.id: 'food', fruits: ['mango', 'lemon', 'lime', 'kiwi']}
  })

mergePutOrPost !
_pouch.merge(db, destinationDocId, sourceDoc, callback)
Like _pouch.mergePutOrPost but will post (if no _id) or put the doc if not already existing.

  _pouch.mergePutOrPost(db, { fruits: ['lime, kiwi'] }, (err, updatedDoc) => {
    //updatedDoc = { _.id: "262db426-2b2a...", fruits: ['lime, kiwi']}
  })

replace ! _pouch.replace(db, doc, callback) Overwrites an existing doc, regardless of revision (shortcut for doing db.get and then db.put) or if doc existing or not (posts if not existing).

  //no doc existing: 
  _p.replace(db, { _id : 'favorite-food', value : 'pizza' }, (err, replacedDoc) => {
    //no rev necessary: 
    _p.replace(db, { _id : 'favorite-food', value : 'ice cream' }, (err, repacedDoc2) => {
      //replacedDoc2 = { _id : 'favorite-food', value : 'ice cream' } }
    })
  })
