is this the "best" way to display a list of documents?
I am new to CouchDB so please be gentle with me :-) I think you guys can help me
without checking any manuals/guides etc. because it's not very difficult what i
am searching for.
After importing all my contacts into my own local CouchDB instance I want to set
up a small HTML interface to show them. So i want to have a list of all contacts
shown by their names.
- Jessica Alba
- George Clooney
- Charlie Sheen
- ...
## File: <app>/_attachments/index.html ############################
<div id="contacts"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$.couch.app(function(app) {
$("#contacts").evently("contacts", app);
});
</script>
## File <app>/evently/contacts/_init/data.js ######################
function(data) {
return {contacts: data.rows.map(row) {
return {"name": row.value.name};
})};
}
## File: <app>/evently/contacts/_init/mustache.html ###############
<ul>
{{#contacts}}
<li>{{name}}</li>
{{/contacts}}
</ul>
## File <app>/evently/contacts/_init/query.json ###################
{"view": "contacts", "ascending": true}
## File: <app>/views/contacts/map.js ##############################
function(doc) {
if (doc.type == "contact") {
emit(doc.name, doc);
}
}
## Example document ###############################################
{
"_id": "...",
"_rev": "...",
"type": "contact",
"name": "Jessica Alba"
}
###################################################################
It's working fine for me but can you please tell me whether this is a good way
to display a list of documents? Is there another/better way?
with regards,
