indexes

[ghost]

How would I go about creating indexes? I naively tried to put a json doc in a dir called "_index", it's not picked up. I tried to pushdocs that dir, but it failed on a missing _rev key while attempting to GET it as a regular doc.

A colleague figured it out. Indexes are stored in a design document. So you can add a design doc just as you would normally in couchapp, in the _design dir. Name it Indexes:

_design\Indexes\language

query

_design\Indexes\views.json

{
  "my-index": {
    "map": {
      "fields": {
        "exampleProperty": "desc"
      },
      "partial_filter_selector": {}
    },
    "reduce": "_count",
    "options": {
      "def": {
        "fields": [
          "exampleProperty"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}
