Usage of the pouchdb-find plugin.

[SwenVogel]

Hi,

it is possible to use the pouchdb-find plugin in combination with relational-pouch?
I would like to use the features of the relational-pouch in combination with the
mongo like query syntax.

Yes we made it a Peer dependency in v3.0.0. Also take a look at https://github.com/pouchdb-community/relational-pouch#dont-save-hasmany. We use find like this in ember-pouch.

Thank's for your answer. Did this mean that the db.rel.find(type, options) method accepts
a mango like query as "option" paramater like described here:

Sorry but we only added it for db.rel.findHasMany because you need to create the db.createIndex and we have no plan for the normal find yet..

So if I need to make queries over fields I can't use this relational-pouchdb library? I should use the standard pouchdb version with pouchdb-find?

@yduartep You have the right of it I think. relational-pouch does not offer any querying beyond providing document IDs and allDocs options to the different find methods. The parseRelDocs method of relational-pouch should be able to help you parse documents that you retrieve from pouchdb-find: https://github.com/pouchdb-community/relational-pouch#dbrelparsereldocstype-pouchdocs
