This repo is under active development and is not yet ready for release as a public SDK.

Release notes and API reference: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchbase-cxx-client/releases.

This repo uses several git submodules. If you are fetching the repo for the first time by command line, the --recurse-submodules option will init the submodules recursively as well:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchbase-cxx-client.git

However, if you fetched using a simple clone command (or another IDE or tool) you must also perform the following command to recursively update and initialize the submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

This repo is being built with CMake so everything should build easily once the basic dev dependencies are satisfied.

The following dependencies must be installed before the project can be built. We recommend using OS specific utilities such as brew, apt-get, and similar package management utilities (depending on your environment).

• cmake >= 3.20.0+ (e.g., brew install cmake)
• c++ compiler >= std_17 (e.g., xcode-select --install)
• openssl >= 1.1+ (e.g., brew install openssl)

IMPORTANT: On macOS, the OpenSSL brew install command mentioned above is not sufficient to be able to build. The easiest way to fix this is to add the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR env variable to your exports (e.g., .zshenv). If this is not sufficient, see the other tips mentioned when you run brew info openssl.

export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/ 

cd couchbase-cxx-client
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

The tests are located in the /test directory. More tests will be added and this directory will be organized more in the near future to differentiate between the common tests types that might be used for different types of testing (e.g., unit tests, integration tests, system tests).
