Introducing: PouchDB-JsonViews, a JSON-based map/reduce interface
Howdy folks,
Inspired by Mango, I've written a plugin for PouchDB that adds a JSON-based
map/reduce interface called *JsonViews*. This plugin, called
PouchDB-JsonViews, allows you to build templated JavaScript views using a
simple document property accessor syntax (ex: 'foo', 'foo.bar'), a small
number of transforms, and a `splay` option for unrolling arrays.
This interface works against PouchDB and CouchDB alike! Hopefully it will
save you some headaches debugging unruly views by replacing them with
descriptive JSON rather than programmatic JavaScript. Under the hood,
PouchDB-JsonViews compiles JsonViews into JavaScript functions. This
compilation process is well-tested, with 100% test coverage.
You can read more about it on GitHub:
https://github.com/garbados/pouchdb-jsonviews
Let me know what you think :)
Best regards,
Diana

That's really neat! Thanks for sharing. It feels like this could cover
a larger number of cases where users don't really need the full JS
syntax for their views
Cheers,
