An asynchronous client library for CouchDB 2.0 based on asyncio using aiohttp

• All requests are asynchronus using aiohttp
• Supports CouchDB 2.x and 3.x
• Support for modern Python ≥ 3.7

    pip install aiocouch

The following code retrieves and prints the list of incredients of the apple_pie recipe. The incredients are stored as a list in the apple_pie aiocouch.document.Document, which is part of the recipe aiocouch.database.Database. We use the context manager aiocouch.CouchDB to create a new session.

    from aiocouch import CouchDB

    async with CouchDB(
        "http://localhost:5984", user="admin", password="admin"
    ) as couchdb:
        db = await couchdb["recipes"]
        doc = await db["apple_pie"]
        print(doc["incredients"])

We can also create new recipes, for instance for some delicious cookies.

        new_doc = await db.create(
            "cookies", data={"title": "Granny's cookies", "rating": "★★★★★"}
        )
        await new_doc.save()
