A pair of Node-RED nodes to work with documents in a Cloudant database that is integrated with IBM Bluemix.
Install from npm
npm install node-red-node-cf-cloudant
Allows basic access to a Cloudant database to
insert, update, delete and search for documents.
To insert a new document into the database you have the option to store
the entire msg object or just the msg.payload. If the input value is not
in JSON format, it will be transformed before being stored.
For update and delete, you must pass the _id and the _revas part
of the input msg object.
For insert and update, you can specify that an output message is generated. For successful inserts or updates, the message output will be the original message with the _id and _rev fields updated in either the message body or in the payload.
To search for a document you have two options: get a document directly by
its _id or use an existing search index
from the database. For both cases, the query should be passed in the
msg.payload input object as a string.
When getting documents by id, the payload will be the desired _id value.
For search indexes, the query should follow the format indexName:value.
Errors are returned via node.error(err, msg) calls and can be caught by Catch nodes present on the same tab, msg objects are returned and available to the Catch nodes. Additional database error details are added to msg.dbError.
