Usage

design_search(
  cushion,
  dbname,
  design,
  view,
  params = list(),
  body = list(),
  as = "list",
  ...
)

design_search_many(cushion, dbname, design, view, queries, as = "list", ...)

Arguments

cushion

A Cushion object. Required.

dbname

(character) Database name. required.

design

(character) Design document name. this is the design name without _design/, which is prepended internally. required.

view

(character) a view, same as fxn param in design_create_(). required.

params

query parameters. a named list

body

same as params, but if any given, a POST request is sent (if body non-NULL, params also sent). a named list

as

(character) One of list (default) or json

...

Curl args passed on to HttpClient

queries

a list of named lists of queries

Value

Options to pass to params, body, or queries params

  • conflicts (logical) Includes conflicts information in response. Ignored if include_docs isn't TRUE. Default: FALSE

  • descending (logical) Return the documents in descending by key order. Default: FALSE

  • endkey,end_key (list) Stop returning records when the specified key is reached. Optional. end_key is an alias for endkey

  • endkey_docid,end_key_doc_id (character) Stop returning records when the specified document ID is reached. Requires endkey to be specified for this to have any effect. Optional. end_key_doc_id is an alias for endkey_docid

  • group (logical) Group the results using the reduce function to a group or single row. Default: FALSE

  • group_level (integer) Specify the group level to be used. Optional

  • include_docs (logical) Include the associated document with each row. Default: FALSE.

  • attachments (logical) Include the Base64-encoded content of attachments in the documents that are included if include_docs is TRUE. Ignored if include_docs isn't TRUE. Default: FALSE

  • att_encoding_info (logical) Include encoding information in attachment stubs if include_docs is TRUE and the particular attachment is compressed. Ignored if include_docs isn't TRUE. Default: FALSE.

  • inclusive_end (logical) Specifies whether the specified end key should be included in the result. Default: TRUE

  • key (list) Return only documents that match the specified key. Optional

  • keys (list) Return only documents where the key matches one of the keys specified in the array. Optional

  • limit (integer) Limit the number of the returned documents to the specified number. Optional

  • reduce (logical) Use the reduction function. Default: TRUE

  • skip (integer) Skip this number of records before starting to return the results. Default: 0

  • sorted (logical) Sort returned rows (see Sorting Returned Rows). Setting this to FALSE offers a performance boost. The total_rows and offset fields are not available when this is set to FALSE. Default: TRUE

  • stale (character) Allow the results from a stale view to be used. Supported values: ok and update_after. Optional

  • startkey,start_key (list) Return records starting with the specified key. Optional. start_key is an alias for startkey

  • startkey_docid,start_key_doc_id (character) Return records starting with the specified document ID. Requires startkey to be specified for this to have any effect. Optional. start_key_doc_id is an alias for startkey_docid

  • update_seq (logical) Response includes an update_seq value indicating which sequence id of the database the view reflects. Default: FALSE
