Coux is the least amount of CouchDB client I can imagine. It doesn't do much, but it is relaxing.
The only thing worth noting is that for coux, arrays are a perfectly good way to specify paths. And it'll do the URL encoding for you.
var db = "http://jchris.iriscouch.com/foobar";
// Get database info:
coux(db, function(err, info) {
console.log(info)
})
// Get a document:
coux([db, "mydocid"], function(err, doc) {
console.log(doc)
// Update a document:
doc.updated_by = "yours truly";
coux.put([db, "mydocid"], doc, function(err, ok) {
console.log(ok)
})
})
// Create a document letting the server assign the id:
var newDoc = {foo : "bar"};
coux.post(db, , function(err, ok) {
console.log(ok)
// Delete a document without sending the doc body
coux.del([db, ok.id, {rev : ok.rev}], function(err, ok) {
console.log(ok);
})
})
Enjoy!
