R client for CouchDB.

Description

Relax.

About sofa

sofa provides an interface to the NoSQL database CouchDB (http://couchdb.apache.org). Methods are provided for managing databases within CouchDB, including creating/deleting/updating/transferring, and managing documents within databases. One can connect with a local CouchDB instance, or a remote CouchDB databases such as Cloudant (https://cloudant.com). Documents can be inserted directly from vectors, lists, data.frames, and JSON.

Client connections

All functions take as their first parameter a client connection object, or a cushion. Create the object with Cushion. You can have multiple connection objects in an R session.

CouchDB versions

sofa was built assuming CouchDB version 2 or greater. Some functionality of this package will work with versions < 2, while some may not (mango queries, see db_query()). I don't plan to support older CouchDB versions per se.

Digits after the decimal

If you have any concern about number of digits after the decimal in your documents, make sure to look at digits in your R options. The default value is 7 (see options for more informnation). You can set the value you like with e.g., options(digits = 10), and get what digits is set to with getOption("digits").

Note that in doc_create() we convert your document to JSON with jsonlite::toJSON() if given as a list, which has a digits parameter. We pass getOption("digits") to the digits parameter in jsonlite::toJSON().

  • changes - List of document's leafs with single field rev

  • id - Document ID

  • seq - Update sequence

• last_seq - Last change update sequence

• pending - Count of remaining items in the feed

# create a document
doc1 <- '{"name": "drink", "type": "water", "score": 5}'
doc_create(x, dbname="leoalion", doc1, docid="awater")

# now there's changes
res <- db_changes(x, dbname="leoalion")
res$results

# as JSON
db_changes(x, dbname="leoalion", as='json')

## End(Not run)

Request compaction of the specified database

Description

Request compaction of the specified database

Usage

db_compact(cushion, dbname, as = "list", ...)

Arguments

Details

Compaction compresses the disk database file by performing the following operations:

• Writes a new, optimised, version of the database file, removing any unused sections from the new version during write. Because a new file is temporarily created for this purpose, you may require up to twice the current storage space of the specified database in order for the compaction routine to complete.

• Removes old revisions of documents from the database, up to the per-database limit specified by the _revs_limit database parameter.

Compaction can only be requested on an individual database; you cannot compact all the databases for a CouchDB instance. The compaction process runs as a background process. You can determine if the compaction process is operating on a database by obtaining the database meta information, the compact_running value of the returned database structure will be set to true. See GET /db. You can also obtain a list of running processes to determine whether compaction is currently running. See "/_active_tasks"

Value

JSON as a character string or a list (determined by the as parameter)

Examples

## Not run: 
user <- Sys.getenv("COUCHDB_TEST_USER")
pwd <- Sys.getenv("COUCHDB_TEST_PWD")
(x <- Cushion$new(user=user, pwd=pwd))
# db_compact(x, dbname = "iris")

Value

JSON as a character string or a list (determined by the as parameter)

Body parameters

• index (json) - JSON object describing the index to create.

• ddoc (string) - Name of the design document in which the index will be created. By default, each index will be created in its own design document. Indexes can be grouped into design documents for efficiency. However, a change to one index in a design document will invalidate all other indexes in the same document (similar to views). Optional

• name (string) - Name of the index. If no name is provided, a name will be generated automatically. Optional

• type (string) - Can be "json" or "text". Defaults to json. Geospatial indexes will be supported in the future. Optional Text indexes are supported via a third party library Optional

• partial_filter_selector (json) - A selector to apply to documents at indexing time, creating a partial index. Optional

user <- Sys.getenv("COUCHDB_TEST_USER")
pwd <- Sys.getenv("COUCHDB_TEST_PWD")

Work with design documents

Usage

design_create(

Create documents to a database.

Description

Create documents to a database.

Usage

doc_create(cushion, dbname, doc, docid = NULL, how = "rows", as = "list", ...)

Arguments

Details

Documents can have attachments just like email. There are two ways to use attachments: the first one is via a separate REST call (see doc_attach_create()); the second is inline within your document, you can do so with this fxn. See https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/document/attachments.html for help on formatting json appropriately.

Note that you can create documents from a data.frame with this function, where each row or column is a separate document. However, this function does not use the bulk API https://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/database/bulk-api.html#db-bulk-docs

• see db_bulk_create() and db_bulk_update() to create or update documents with the bulk API - which should be much faster for a large number of documents.

Value

JSON as a character string or a list (determined by the as parameter)

Digits after the decimal

If you have any concern about number of digits after the decimal in your documents, make sure to look at digits in your R options. The default value is 7 (see options for more informnation). You can set the value you like with e.g., options(digits = 10), and get what digits is set to with getOption("digits").

Note that in doc_create() we convert your document to JSON with jsonlite::toJSON() if given as a list, which has a digits parameter. We pass getOption("digits") to the digits parameter in jsonlite::toJSON()
