Provide a bit more documentation

Looks like an interesting project, but can I use it in the browser as well as on the server? If so, is there a process for minifying index.js plus all dependencies with the possible exception of Pouch which I'm fetching separately? I'd like a plugin like this but just don't know where it is intended to be used. An additional paragraph or two in the README would help, along with maybe a table listing supported geospatial operations.

so in theory this should work on the server, but that requires geocouch which I've been unable to get working on my current computer so haven't been able to test it on the server. Though in the mean time I can spruce up the repo.

[ndarilek]

Ah, OK, so it's server-only and requires Geocouch? Thanks, knowing that
helps.

[calvinmetcalf]

no, server AND local, server requires geocouch, local doesn't

[ndarilek]

Sweet. Is there a minified version I can drop into my app? How about a
Grunt or other build process for building same?

This looks really awesome, I've been looking for in-browser syncable
geospatial support for quite some time!

[calvinmetcalf]

the pull i just started as a build process, but not minified, you can checkout the other branch and run npm install and then npm run build which should build it, after you load the script add the code PouchDB.plugin('Spatial',geopouch);

I tried to build a browser standalone version with the rtree branch - there seems to be a problem with the "inherits"module (TypeError: superCtor is undefined). There is a special version available for browsers at https://github.com/isaacs/inherits (inherits_browser.js) but I was unable to include it.

It should work with browserify

Here are some more details from a second try with a freshly cloned repository:

$ git checkout rtree
$ npm install

no problems

$ npm test --coverage

everything ok (7 passing (8s))

$ npm run build

no suspicious outputs, dist folder is created and the file geopouch.js has 714kB

$ npm run build-test

no suspicious outputs, test folder is created with 4 files.
When opening the index.html file in a browser, the error TypeError: superCtor is undefined in line 6933 appears.
The same happens when manually loading pouchdb and than geopouch in an HTML file.

My npm version is 1.4.28,
the node version 0.10.32,
the installed browserify version is 7.0.1

Did I miss an important step?

[calvinmetcalf]

That is an error related to inheriting something that doesn't exist
possibly related to crypto browserify but I thought I fixed that bug.

I'll look into this tomorrow

[calvinmetcalf]

Getting the same error, I fixed this in browserify crypto 3.6.1 but 3.6.0
is loading

because it was never published browserify/crypto-browserify#85

[scubbx]

Thank you very much for looking into this, now it compiles all right. :-)

But I am a bit confused about the API:
When simply loading with PouchDB.plugin('Spatial',geopouch);, the geopouch plugin can be accessed by the keyword geopouch. But this stands in contrast to the way the API is explained in the readme.md ( db.spatial([xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax], [options, callback)]; ). Also, how would geopouch know which database to access?

When changing the way the module is loaded in index.js by the method explained on the PouchDB homepage (PouchDB.plugin({ spatial: function spatial(fun, bbox, ...) it can be called as an extension of each initialized PouchDB database. But in any way, I don't receive results.
Also, shouldn't the correct way to call geopouch be like db.spatial( designdoc/spatialview, [bbox], ... ) ? (in contrast to the explanation in the readme.md)

[calvinmetcalf]

the readme is out of data look at the tests for now

[calvinmetcalf]

this is how to load it and this is how to query it
