Constructor Details

#initialize(bucket, endpoint, params = {}) ⇒ View

Set up view endpoint and optional params

Parameters:

  • bucket (Couchbase::Bucket) —

    Connection object which stores all info about how to make requests to Couchbase views.

  • endpoint (String) —

    Full Couchbase View URI.

  • params (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Optional parameter which will be passed to #fetch

  @params = {:connection_timeout => 75_000}.merge(params)
  @wrapper_class = params.delete(:wrapper_class) || ViewRow

Instance Method Details

#each(params = {}) ⇒ Object

Yields each document that was fetched by view. It doesn’t instantiate all the results because of streaming JSON parser. Returns Enumerator unless block given.

Examples:

Use each method with block


view.each do |doc|
  # do something with doc
end

Use Enumerator version


enum = view.each  # request hasn't issued yet
enum.map{|doc| doc.title.upcase}

Pass options during view initialization


endpoint = "http://localhost:5984/default/_design/blog/_view/recent"
view = View.new(conn, endpoint, :descending => true)
view.each do |document|
  # do something with document
end

Parameters:

  • params (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Params for Couchdb query. Some useful are: :start_key, :start_key_doc_id, :descending. See #fetch.

def each(params = {})
  return enum_for(:each, params) unless block_given?
  fetch(params) {|doc| yield(doc)}
end

#fetch(params = {}) {|document| ... } ⇒ Array

Note:

Avoid using $ symbol as prefix for properties in your documents, because server marks with it meta fields like flags and expiration, therefore dollar prefix is some kind of reserved. It won’t hurt your application. Currently the Couchbase::ViewRow class extracts $flags, $cas and $expiration properties from the document and store them in Couchbase::ViewRow#meta hash.

Performs query to Couchbase view. This method will stream results if block given or return complete result set otherwise. In latter case it defines method total_rows returning corresponding entry from Couchbase result object.

Examples:

Query recent_posts view with key filter

doc.recent_posts(:body => {:keys => ["key1", "key2"]})

Fetch second page of result set (splitted in 10 items per page)

page = 2
per_page = 10
doc.recent_posts(:skip => (page - 1) * per_page, :limit => per_page)

Simple join using Map/Reduce

# Given the bucket with Posts(:id, :type, :title, :body) and
# Comments(:id, :type, :post_id, :author, :body). The map function
# below (in javascript) will build the View index called
# "recent_posts_with_comments" which will behave like left inner join.
#
#   function(doc) {
#     switch (doc.type) {
#       case "Post":
#         emit([doc.id, 0], null);
#         break;
#       case "Comment":
#         emit([doc.post_id, 1], null);
#         break;
#     }
#   }
#
post_id = 42
doc.recent_posts_with_comments(:start_key => [post_id, 0],
                               :end_key => [post_id, 1],
                               :include_docs => true)

Parameters:

  • params (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    parameters for Couchbase query.

Options Hash (params):

  • :include_docs (true, false) — default: false —

    Include the full content of the documents in the return. Note that the document is fetched from the in memory cache where it may have been changed or even deleted. See also :quiet parameter below to control error reporting during fetch.

  • :quiet (true, false) — default: true —

    Do not raise error if associated document not found in the memory. If the parameter true will use nil value instead.

  • :descending (true, false) — default: false —

    Return the documents in descending by key order

  • :key (String, Fixnum, Hash, Array) —

    Return only documents that match the specified key. Will be JSON encoded.

  • :keys (Array) —

    The same as :key, but will work for set of keys. Will be JSON encoded.

  • :startkey (String, Fixnum, Hash, Array) —

    Return records starting with the specified key. :start_key option should also work here. Will be JSON encoded.

  • :startkey_docid (String) —

    Document id to start with (to allow pagination for duplicate startkeys). :start_key_doc_id also should work.

  • :endkey (String, Fixnum, Hash, Array) —

    Stop returning records when the specified key is reached. :end_key option should also work here. Will be JSON encoded.

  • :endkey_docid (String) —

    Last document id to include in the output (to allow pagination for duplicate startkeys). :end_key_doc_id also should work.

  • :inclusive_end (true, false) — default: true —

    Specifies whether the specified end key should be included in the result

  • :limit (Fixnum) —

    Limit the number of documents in the output.

  • :skip (Fixnum) —

    Skip this number of records before starting to return the results.

  • :on_error (String, Symbol) — default: :continue —

    Sets the response in the event of an error. Supported values:

    :continue

    Continue to generate view information in the event of an error, including the error information in the view response stream.

    :stop

    Stop immediately when an error condition occurs. No further view information will be returned.

  • :connection_timeout (Fixnum) — default: 75000 —

    Timeout before the view request is dropped (milliseconds)

  • :reduce (true, false) — default: true —

    Use the reduction function

  • :group (true, false) — default: false —

    Group the results using the reduce function to a group or single row.

  • :group_level (Fixnum) —

    Specify the group level to be used.

  • :stale (String, Symbol, false) — default: :update_after —

    Allow the results from a stale view to be used. Supported values:

    false

    Force a view update before returning data

    :ok

    Allow stale views

    :update_after

    Allow stale view, update view after it has been accessed

  • :body (Hash) —

    Accepts the same parameters, except :body of course, but sends them in POST body instead of query string. It could be useful for really large and complex parameters.

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    with documents. There will be total_entries method defined on this array if it’s possible.

Raises:

#fetch_all(params = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Method for fetching asynchronously all rows and passing array to callback

Parameters are same as for #fetch method, but callback is called for whole set for rows instead of one by each.

Examples:

con.run do
  doc.recent_posts.fetch_all do |posts|
    do_something_with_all_posts(posts)
  end
end

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

end

#on_error {|from, reason| ... } ⇒ Object

Registers callback function for handling error objects in view results stream.

Examples:

Using #on_error to log all errors in view result


# JSON-encoded view result
#
# {
#   "total_rows": 0,
#   "rows": [ ],
#   "errors": [
#     {
#       "from": "127.0.0.1:5984",
#       "reason": "Design document `_design/testfoobar` missing in database `test_db_b`."
#     },
#     {
#       "from": "http:// localhost:5984/_view_merge/",
#       "reason": "Design document `_design/testfoobar` missing in database `test_db_c`."
#     }
#   ]
# }

view.on_error do |from, reason|
  logger.warn("#{view.inspect} received the error '#{reason}' from #{from}")
end
docs = view.fetch

More concise example to just count errors


errcount = 0
view.on_error{|f,r| errcount += 1}.fetch

Yield Parameters:

  • from (String) —

    Location of the node where error occured

  • reason (String) —

    The reason message describing what happened.
