Couchster: A validation function generator

[Joel A <ol...@gmail.com>]

I'm pleased to announce the release of couchster v1.0.0, an open source
(MIT-licensed) tool to help generate and test comprehensive CouchDB
validation functions.

Couchster is a command line utility that is distributed as an npm package.
It accepts a database's schema (aka its document definitions) in a simple,
declarative JavaScript format and then produces a fully-formed validation
function that can be dropped directly into a CouchDB design document. This
makes it easy to comprehensively validate document contents and permissions
with little or no boilerplate code. An included test fixture maker module
provides a straightforward way to write unit tests against one's document
definitions. And a schema validator tool prevents common mistakes in
document definitions.

The project's README contains a wealth of information for getting up and
running with couchster. You'll find the project here:
