Relaxo Query Server

The Relaxo Query Server implements the CouchDB Query Server protocol for CouchDB 1.1.0+. It provides a comprehensive Ruby-style view server along with full support for Design Document based processing.

Installation

Install the ruby gem as follows:

sudo gem install relaxo-query-server

Edit your etc/couchdb/local.ini and add the following:

[query_servers]
relaxo-ruby = relaxo-query-server

Make sure the relaxo-query-server executable is accessible from $PATH.

relaxo-query-server includes a variety of 3rd party modules by default, but it can include other libraries by specifying them on the command line:

relaxo-ruby = ruby -rdate -rbigdecimal relaxo-query-server

(You can also load code by specifying libraries in your design documents and views.)

Usage

Mapping Function

Select documents of type == 'user':

lambda do |document|
	if document['type'] == 'user'
		emit(document['_id'])
	end
end

Reduction Function

Calculate the sum:

lambda do |keys,values,rereduce|
	values.inject &:+
end

Design Document

A simple application:

# design.yaml
-   _id: "_design/users"
    language: 'relaxo-ruby'
    views:
        service:
            map: |
                lambda do |doc|
                    emit(doc['_id']) if doc['type'] == 'user'
                end
    validate_doc_update: |
        lambda do |new_document, old_document, user_context|
            if !user_context.admin && new_document['admin'] == true
                raise ValidationError.new(:forbidden => "Cannot create admin user!")
            end
        end
    updates:
        user: |
            lambda do |doc, request|
                doc['updated_date'] = Date.today.iso8061; [doc, 'OK']
            end
    lists:
        user: |
            lambda do |head, request|
                send "<ul>"
                each do |user|
                    send "<li>" + user['name'] + "</li>"
                end
                send "</ul>"
            end
    filters:
        regular_users: |
            lambda do |doc, request|
                doc['admin'] == false
            end
    shows:
        user: |
            lambda do |doc, request|
                {
                    :code => 200,
                    :headers => {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}},
                    :body => "User: #{doc['name']}"
                }
            end

The previous design.yaml document can be loaded using the relaxo client command:

relaxo http://localhost:5984/test design.yaml
