             Summary: Feature request: _all_docs?exclude_ddocs=true
                 Key: COUCHDB-2227
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2227
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Wish
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
            Reporter: Nolan Lawson


Design docs are included in {{\_all_docs}} results, which is by design (hyuk hyuk).  However, this can be surprising and unwanted behavior for new users, and plus, sometimes it's tricky to exclude them, e.g. if your docids come both before and after the {{_}} character:

{code:javascript}
{"total_rows":6,"offset":0,"rows":[
{"id":"Bar","key":"Bar","value":{"rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}},
{"id":"Foo","key":"Foo","value":{"rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}},
{"id":"_design/temp","key":"_design/temp","value":{"rev":"1-ee20bd300ce7ffa18e9ef1144fa50fd4"}},
{"id":"_design/temp2","key":"_design/temp2","value":{"rev":"1-9b626494fef9a884a383345540c29e97"}},
{"id":"bar","key":"bar","value":{"rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}},
{"id":"foo","key":"foo","value":{"rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"}}
]}
{code}

What I would like is a query param like {{exclude_ddocs}}, which defaults to false and would only return non-design documents, but otherwise function exactly the same.  What {{offset}} and {{total_rows}} would do in this case is up to you.

Workaround: The best workaround is to do two separate queries, one with the parameters {{endkey=%22_design/%22}} and the other with {{startkey=%22_design0%22}}. But this is not particularly elegant.
