Re: CommonJS in views (aka OpenPGP inside a map function)

[Jim Klo <ji...@sri.com>]

I think I must have had a typo or something... the example now works...

now going to something more sophisticated... (too big for here...)  but I think i've tracked it down to a bug in one of my other modules...

https://github.com/jimklo/TheCollector/blob/master/dataservices/thecollector-resources/views/lib/sig_utils.js#L47

Is there some way to debug 'requires'?  There's no real error other that someobject.someexportedfunction doesn't exist.
Hence I'm not able to figure out what's wrong with the library since I needed to 'hack' it a bit to export the objects I needed access.

FWIW: I've got what I need to work prototyped in SpiderMonkey here: https://gist.github.com/3036199 now trying to translate to CouchDB with this project. (DCH: This might interest you... I recall you asking me about OpenPGP inside Map Reduce...)

Thanks,

- Jim

Hi!

Your case works for me for 1.2.0 release and 1.3.0@master. What result you got?

Hi,

I have a question regarding CommonJS within views..

Should this work, or is it a bug that it doesn't?  Using CouchDB 1.2.0

{
_id: "_design/commonjs-test",
views: {
lib: {
include1: "var include2 = require('views/lib/include2');  exports.foo1 = include2.foo2;",
include2: "exports.foo2 = 42"
},
my_view: {
map: "function(doc) { emit( require('views/lib/include1').foo1, null); }"
}
}

}

If it should work what might I be doing wrong?

You could explore ddoc(for views it just very limited by "views/lib"
branch) from any CommonJS module through `module` variable. It
contains `id` property that tells you where you are, `current` that
points to current frame, `parent` that points to parent frame and
`export` that has alias as same name variable.

Since then you could inspect your modules as normal Javascript code.
But beware, because you could easily be trapped into recursive link
loop and already executed modules(via require) couldn't be dumped to
JSON due to module cache.
