Installing

Ottoman is not yet published to npm, to install the in development version directly from GitHub, run:

npm install git+https://github.com/couchbaselabs/node-ottoman.git

Introduction

Building and interacting with models using ottoman is very simple:

var User = Ottoman.model('User', {
  'username': 'string',
  'name': 'string',
  'email': 'string'
}, {
  bucket: new couchbase.Connection({})
});

var test = new User();
test.username = 'brett19';
test.name = 'Brett Lawson';
test.email = '[email protected]';

Ottoman.save(test, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;

  MyModel.findById(test._id, function(err, obj) {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log(obj.name);
    // Brett Lawson
  });
});

Documentation

As ottoman is currently in rapid active development, documentation for it is not yet available. A good source of information in the interim should be the test cases which are available in the /test/ directory.
