Under heavy development

You can use it, but stuff might still changes quickly, until we are at version 1.0.0

Docs

Read the official docs or look in the example directory.

Introduction

RxPouch is RxJS powered PouchDB, with some additional features, but still tried to provide all the same base functionallities. You can almost everywhere consult the PouchDB Docs for further information.

Installation

npm install rx-pouch --save
npm install rxjs --save

Difference to RxDB

Well a lot of credits goes to RxDB, since we borrowed a lot from them. In RxDB every collection creates a new database, which is in most use-cases perfectly fine. For my use-case it wasn't.

• RxDB uses multiply databases, RxPouch uses document keys with the prefix <collection>- and adds to each document a property type: '<collection>'
• RxDB has their own API
• RxPouch tried to follow the official PouchDB API as close as possible, but also added some sugar.
• RxPouch got less features (Leader Election, Schema, Population etc..)
• RxPouch has a different filter / sorting system

Example usage

let RxPouch = require("rx-pouch");
let pouchLevelDB = require("pouchdb-adapter-leveldb");

process.on('unhandledRejection', (reason, promise) => {
    console.log('Unhandled Rejection at:', reason.stack || reason)
});


// add db adapter for nodejs
RxPouch.plugin(pouchLevelDB);

// create database
let db = new RxPouch('myDB');

// start listening for changes, enables all observers
let changes = db.changes();
changes.change$.subscribe(next => {
    console.log('change', next);
});

// create collection
let pokemons = db.collection('pokemon');

// listen for changes
pokemons.insert$.subscribe(next => {
    console.log('may display an notification that there is a new pokemon');
});

pokemons.remove$.subscribe(next => {
    console.log('may navigate away, from current pokemon page');
});

pokemons.docs$.subscribe(next => {
    console.log('may display an up to date list of all stored pokemons');
});

// create a doc
let pika = {
    _id: 'pikachu', // will result in pokemon-pikachu
    type: 'pokemon', // not needed, will be set anyway
    name: 'Pikachu',
    power: '120',
    element: 'power'
};

// insert data
pokemons.create(pika);
