package main

import (
    "context"

    "github.com/flimzy/kivik"
    _ "github.com/go-kivik/couchdb" // The CouchDB driver

Types

type CompatMode

type CompatMode int

CompatMode is a flag indicating the compatibility mode of the driver.

type Couch

type Couch struct{}

Couch represents the parent driver instance.

func (*Couch) NewClient

func (d *Couch) NewClient(ctx context.Context, dsn string) (driver.Client, error)

NewClient establishes a new connection to a CouchDB server instance. If auth credentials are included in the URL, they are used to authenticate using CookieAuth (or BasicAuth if compiled with GopherJS). If you wish to use a different auth mechanism, do not specify credentials here, and instead call Authenticate() later.
