Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
## create a connection
user <- Sys.getenv("COUCHDB_TEST_USER")
pwd <- Sys.getenv("COUCHDB_TEST_PWD")
(x <- Cushion$new(user = user, pwd = pwd))

file <- system.file("examples/omdb.json", package = "sofa")
strs <- readLines(file)

## create a database
if ("omdb" %in% db_list(x)) {
  invisible(db_delete(x, dbname = "omdb"))
}
db_create(x, dbname = "omdb")

## add some documents
invisible(db_bulk_create(x, "omdb", strs))

## query all in one json blob
db_explain(x, dbname = "omdb", query = '{
  "selector": {
    "_id": {
      "$gt": null
    }
  }
}')
} # }
