CouchDB Library for Cappuccino

==============================

More information, installation instructions, etc. coming soon.

![Demo Screenshot](http://topfunky.github.com/cappuccino-couchdb/images/demo-screenshot.png)

## Running the Demo

CouchDB's built-in webserver can serve static applications which can

access the database on the same host/port within browser security

limitations.

Run a Cappuccino app under CouchDB by editing your local.ini (or

default.ini on CouchDBX). Add to the httpd_global_handlers section:

    cappuccino-couchdb = {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_utils_dir_req, "/path/to/cappuccino-couchdb"}

Open [index.html](http://localhost:5984/cappuccino-couchdb/index.html)

in your browser to run the samples.

    http://localhost:5984/cappuccino-couchdb/index.html

NOTE: It's also possible to use the

[CouchApp](http://github.com/couchapp/couchapp) command line tool to

sync a Cappuccino application to CouchDB, but the size of an

application in development would be prohibitive. It's also

inconvenient to sync code to the server every time you make a

change in development.

## Usage in Your Own Project

Copy the Classes/CouchDB directory and contents to your Cappuccino app.

    @import "CouchDB/CouchDB.j"

The class was designed to mimic CouchDB's jquery.couch.js

(couchdb/trunk/share/www/script/jquery.couch.js). So some parts use

Javascript features rather than Objective-J features (inline function

callbacks, hash options).

More documentation coming soon. In the meantime, see AppController.j.

## Known Bugs

* CouchDB treats a + in a filename as a space on disk, so naming

  Objective-C categories as CPDictionary+ParamUtils.j will

  fail. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future release of CouchDB.

## TODO

* Better error handling and callbacks

* Examples of usage with a native Objective-J model.
