Hi, First to introduce myself : New to CouchDB universe, I read the WIP CouchDB Book, some official documentation and some writings from "benoitc". So now I try to build my first couchdb app with a simple clone of delicious. So in a first part, I installed couchapp 0.3.2 and generate a first project (called "mycouchapp") and then pushed it on my local couchdb server (using CouchDBX) in a db called "monapp". At this stage, I got the default placeholder from Couchapp. Then from Futon, I added 3 documents like this one : { "_id": "3b0ce9b06a0f7a110dbd8a72b32f2072", "_rev": "3-1834349775", "title": "CouchDB Official site", "url": "http://couchdb.apache.org/", "description": "Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API", "tag": [ "couchdb", "database", "document" ] } { "_id": "63f417d3d2217e4be4d284a30056c84d", "_rev": "2-1087649587", "title": "Couchdbkit", "description": "Couchdbkit goal is to provide a framework for your Python application to access and manage Couchdb.", "url": "http://www.couchdbkit.org/", "tag": [ "couchdb", "python", "framework" ] } { "_id": "8fa1e44814d3d1800069127da12e72f9", "_rev": "2-3730993466", "title": "couchapp", "description": "Utilities to make standalone CouchDB application development simple", "url": "http://github.com/couchapp/couchapp/tree/master", "tag": [ "couchdb", "python", "ruby" ] } I know I should have used better _id but it's my first try and realised it too late ;-) I played a little bit with Futon to design some temporary view to try requests against my documents. All went well. This done, I would like to create my first lists / shows / views but failed so far :-( I tried to build them by looking mainly at sofa code but I always have 404 page with not a lot of info for going further. I did not forget to push code with couchapp to update my couchdb instance. My aim was to create two "pages" : * One list to display all documents * One show to display a given document For the list : * I should have a index.js file in lists directory for the list with a function like : function(head, row, req, info) { // !json templates.index // !code vendor/couchapp/path.js // !code vendor/couchapp/date.js // !code vendor/couchapp/template.js return respondWith(req, { html : function() { if (head) { return template(templates.index.head, { assets : assetPath(), }); } else if (row) { var fav = row.value; return template(templates.index.row, { title : fav.title, description : fav.description, url : fav.url }); } else { return template(templates.index.tail, { assets : assetPath(), }); } }, }) }; This mean that I have a templates/index/{head|row|tail}.html files. I just adapted the one of sofa with removing "useless" code in my case If I understand well, that's all I need with an url like : http://localhost:5984/monapp/_list/mycouchapp/index/ For displaying a bookmark (fav) : function(doc, req) { // !json templates.fav // !code vendor/couchapp/template.js // !code vendor/couchapp/path.js // we only show html return template(templates.fav, { title : doc.title, url : doc.url description : doc.description, assets : assetPath(), }); } with a fav.html file in /templates/ Url is something like : http://localhost:5984/monapp/_show/mycouchapp/fav/ <_id> What annoys me is the 404 status for all pages and that from the html template point of views, I do not see JS that will "talk" to CouchDB server/instance. There is something "magical" I can't get so far. As I did not find so far examples from ground/scratch for building lists / shows, I ask for some help. Thanks in advance, Nicolas PS : On #couchdb, #couchapp, you can find me with the login NiCoS` PS2 : do not know it it's more a couchapp or couchdb issue - think it's more couchdb one... -- Nicolas Steinmetz http://www.steinmetz.fr - http://nicolas.steinmetz.fr/
