Using underscorejs in a couchapp list
Hi all,
I'm running archlinux and couchdb 1.2. I'm trying to develop a couchapp:
although I could use couchdb only as a database, I like the idea of
"self-containess" in couchapps. The application I want to build is
fairly simple, consisting of list and detail views. I have a set of
books described in a bibtex-like fashion, and I'm trying to serve a
webpage that lists the whole collection, organized by year. Here is my
view map:
function(doc) {
if (doc.application === "publication") {
emit([doc.year, doc.title], doc);
};
}
I'd like to get a webpage consisting of several ul tags; one for every
year. The getrow() function makes it easy to make one big list (1.
opening the list, 2. creating a list element for every row, 3. closing
the list) but for what I want to achieve it seems a little bit trickier.
My idea was to use underscorejs `_.sortBy` method to reorganize the data
by year into a dictionary, to end up with something like this:
{
'2009': [
{'title': ' The Transformer -- Principles of Making Isotype
Charts', ...},
{'title': ' Verbindingen/Jonctions 10, Tracks in Electr(on)ic
Fields', ...},
{...}
],
'2012': [
{'title': 'Tying the Story to Data: The graffiti Markup Field
Recorder Challenged, GML', ...},
{'title': 'Inside Photoshop', ...},
{...}
],
...
}
From there, I'd be able to loop through each key and append to my html
output an HTML list. Unfortunately, I'm unable to import underscorejs,
as it seems like they have dropped support for commonjs. There are forks
and similar libraries that are supposed to work, but whatever I try, it
fails (see my question here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11781502/using-underscorejs-in-a-couchapp-list/11817375#11817375).
So I'd like to know whether it is achievable in this way or another, and
if my direction is correct, how I can use underscorejs (or similar) in a
couchapp.
Thanks a lot,
Alex

That version doesn't work... :P Which is why I pointed you to the version I had in my project.. underscore removed CommonJS bindings... there's a long thread on that on a google group somewhere...
I dug up some previous version that still had the CommonJS bindings.... which was here:
>>>>>>> https://github.com/jimklo/TheCollector/blob/master/dataservices/thecollector-resources/views/lib/underscore-min.js
you'll need to dump it into the views/lib directory and make sure your kanso.json has modules dependency:
{
...
"modules":["lib","views"],
"load": "lib/app",
"dependencies": {
"modules": null,
"properties": null
}
...
}
then require in your view would be:
var _ = require("views/lib/underscore-min");
You can take a look at this kanso app as an example:

Thanks again,
again it fails... with:

Any other suggestion?

Re: Using underscorejs in a couchapp list
Posted by Zera Holladay <ze...@gmail.com>.
Last suggestion, try sticking an AMD-ified version of underscore in
lib and load it like:
_ = require("lib/underscore").
I don't really know Kanso, but the only example shows libraries in
html only. However, Sofa uses a server-side require in
validate_doc_update like the kind I'm asking you to try. I might be
dead wrong about all of the above, but maybe this response will get
someone more knowledgeable than me to respond if I am.

Try changing:

Re: Using underscorejs in a couchapp list
Posted by AL <ne...@alexandreleray.com>.
Thanks Jim and Ryan,
kanso seems quite interesting indeed :)
I have started a small project based on it, but unfortunately I haven't
been able to solve my problem.
I was wondering if the folks on the list could have a look at it? I
really can't spot the problem...
The project is available here:
https://github.com/aleray/lgru.couch
Visiting the following URL will log variable `_`, which is undefined in
my case...
http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb/_design/lgru/_list/publications/publications
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Re: Using underscorejs in a couchapp list
Posted by Ryan Ramage <ry...@gmail.com>.
Alex,
If you are making a couchapp, and you want to use underscore, you
should give http://kan.so/ a try. There is a kanso package already for
underscore:
http://kan.so/packages/details/underscore
Kanso makes using commonjs modules very easy, and there are lots of
packages already available.

Hmm... I'm using underscore.js in my views and lists... maybe snake the version I'm using?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to import underscorejs, as it seems like they have dropped support for commonjs.
