Custom / Global view functions?
Hello fellow CouchDBians,
Is there any method for writing functions which can be accessed by any
of my views? Quite a few of my views require the same functionality
to filter documents or parse certain fields, and it would be a shame
to have to maintain that code in every single view.

except you can't do commonjs in views because we cache the view based on the byte string of the function itself. so we don't allow external dependencies because you could end up with an inconsistent view that way.

We also support commonjs modules which I would now consider the "preferred"
way to do this. Macros were nice but required tooling, now modules are baked
in to the view server. You can also load these modules in jquery.couch.js in
the browser as well.

CouchApp has !code and !json macros to aid view code reuse. View
functions are required to be self-contained.
