filter changes feed for deletes of a specific document type

[Stefan Klein <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I try to find a way to get deletes of documents with a specific type* from
the changes feed.
>From the documentation I don't see a way, neither with filters nor with
using a view as a filter, since both only get the current, deleted revision
where the type is already gone.
Also tried to get the last non-deleted revision from the database using a
get on the documentid with a combination of rev, revs, meta and but a
deleted document is deleted .. so all i get is a 404 reason: deleted.

Am I missing something, is there a workaround?

* i refer to the quasi standard doc.type = 'myType'

thanks,
Stefan

I find it useful to include the type in the document id string. This way
you can always see which type of document you're dealing with. I have
made a little module, which helps in standardizing the id schema: docuri
[1].
You can also leave the type when deleting a document. Just put the
document with a _deleted: true field.
