Crate couch_rs

CouchDB library for Rust

Description

This crate is an interface to CouchDB HTTP REST API. Works with stable Rust.

This library is a spin-off based on the excellent work done by Mathieu Amiot and others at Yellow Innovation on the Sofa library. The original project can be found at https://github.com/YellowInnovation/sofa

The Sofa library lacked support for async I/O, and missed a few essential operations we needed on our projects. That's why I've decided to create a new project based on the original Sofa code.

The rust-rs library has been updated to the Rust 2018 edition standards, uses async I/O, and compiles against the latest serde and reqwest libraries.

NOT 1.0 YET, so expect changes

Supports CouchDB 2.3.0 and up, including the newly released 3.0 version.

Be sure to check CouchDB's Documentation in detail to see what's possible.

Example code

You can launch the included example with:

cargo run --example basic_operations

Running tests

Make sure that you have an instance of CouchDB 2.0+ running, either via the supplied docker-compose.yml file or by yourself. It must be listening on the default port. Since Couch 3.0 the "Admin Party" mode is no longer supported. This means you need to provide a username and password during launch. The tests and examples assume an "admin" CouchDB user with a "password" CouchDB password. Docker run command:

docker run --rm -p 5984:5984 -e COUCHDB_USER=admin -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password couchdb:3

And then cargo test -- --test-threads=1

Single-threading the tests is very important because we need to make sure that the basic features are working before actually testing features on dbs/documents.

Modules

database
document
error
model
types

Macros

find_all_selector

Returns all documents

Structs

Client

Client handles the URI manipulation logic and the HTTP calls to the CouchDB REST API. It is also responsible for the creation/access/destruction of databases.
