angular-pouchdb's Introduction

AngularJS PouchDB Support

A simple wrapper for PouchDB, to make integration into AngularJS applications a breeze. So what does it do?

It wraps PouchDB as a provider, allowing you to set global configuration before your dependencies are getting injected.
It uses $q-based promises instead of callbacks: db.put({...}) will return a promise with the results, and no longer accepts a callback as the last parameter. The same goes for all other operations that normally required callbacks.
It will make sure Angular is aware of asynchronous updates. (It will make sure it uses $rootScope.$apply() in cases where it makes sense.)

Usage

var app = angular.module('app', ['pouchdb']);

// Now if you dependency inject pouchdb in a service, you can:

// Create a database
var db = pouchdb.create('testdb');

// Destroy a database
pouchdb.destroy('testdb');

// Add a document
db.put({_id: 'foo', name: 'bar'});

// Handle the output
db.put({_id: 'foo', name: 'bar'}).then(function(response) {
    // Do something with the response
}).catch(function(error) {
    // Do something with the error
}).finally(function() {
    // Do something when everything is done
});

// To have a database as a dependency that you can inject in a service
angular.factory('testdb', function(pouchdb) {
  return pouchdb.create('testdb');
});

angular.factory('testservice', function(testdb) {
    return {
        add: function(obj) { testdb.put(obj); }
    };
});
