Re: How to integrate a couchapp into a build-tool

[Alexander Gabriel <al...@barbalex.ch>]

I found a better solution that integrates nicely with gulp, in case someone
else needs it:

Use gulp-shell (https://www.npmjs.org/package/gulp-shell) to run the
couchapp build command from gulp, like this:

gulp.task('build_couchapp', shell.task(['couchapp push
http://user:password@127.0.0.1:5984/mydb']));

Re: How to integrate a couchapp into a build-tool

[Alexander Gabriel <al...@barbalex.ch>]

better yet: put username and password into a separate json-file, that isn't
checked into git.

I use a file called '.couchpass.json':
{
    "user": "username",
    "pass": "password"
}

My gulp task is now:

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    shell = require('gulp-shell'),
    pass_file = require('./.couchpass.json'),
    user_name,
    password,
    request;

user_name = pass_file.user;
password = pass_file.pass;

request = 'couchapp push http://' + user_name + ':' + password + '@
127.0.0.1:5984/evab';

return gulp.task('build_couchapp', shell.task([request]));
