Do you need to have CouchDB easy access to revisions?
-
Sometimes do you need to use just one kind of document per database? And sometimes don’t?
-
Do you need to use CouchDB without care about activesupport dependencies?
-
Do you need to access HTTP headers of the request that returned your document object?
So you are insane! Divan is a comfortable place for you to rest.
# Model class
class InsanePerson < Divan::Models::InsanePerson
view_by :name
view_by :doctor
end
# Simple Usage
patient = InsanePeople.new :name => 'Hannibal', :doctor => 'House'
patient.problems = ['Sleepness', 'Headache', 'Alucinations']
patient.save
# Acessing HTTP header
patient.last_request.headers[:content_type]
# Easy access to revisions
patient.alive = true
patient.ttl = 7
10.times.do
if patient.ttl > 0
patient.ttl -= 1
else
patient.alive = false
break
end
patient.save
end
patient.revision(2).rollback # Be carefull, he's back!
# Configuration file

1. Why are you not using active_model?
Because ActiveModel depends on active_support, and sometimes we want a model library that could
be used with Rails 2, or any other project could have conflicted dependencies.
ActiveModel is a great library, but it'snt a silver bullet for model libraries.
2. Who needs access to HTTP headers?
Sometimes it's interesting to know exactly the time that each document is retuned by database,
you can do it calling method last_request in each document.
3. Why dont you use CouchRest?
With CouchRest isn't easy to have access to HTTP headers
