Connect Node.js with CouchDB

Go to C folder. Create a folder name "couchemployees" within an already created folder "projects".

Open command prompt and go to the location.

Create a file as "app.js", having the following code:

Now entry point will be app.json

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const path = require('path');
const NodeCouchdb = require('node-couchdb');
const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.use (bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
app.get('/', function(req,res){
 res.send('Working........');
});
app.listen(3000, function(){
 console.log('Server is started om Port 3000');
});

Now use the following command:

npm install express body-parser ejs node-couchdb --save

Execute the following code to start local server :

Now server is started:

Open the local browser: localhost:3000

List Databases

Edit the app.js file with the following code:

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const path = require('path');
const NodeCouchdb = require('node-couchdb');

const couch = NodeCouchdb({
auth:{
user: 'ajeet'
password: '12345'
}
});
couch.listDatabases().then(function(dbs){
console.log(dbs);
});

const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.use (bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
app.get('/', function(req,res){
 res.send('Working........');
});
app.listen(3000, function(){
 console.log('Server is started on Port 3000');
});

Create a folder "view" and then create a file "index.ejs" within it, having the following code:

Now change in the "app.js" file:

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const path = require('path');
const NodeCouchdb = require('node-couchdb');

const couch = NodeCouchdb({
auth:{
user: 'ajeet'
password: '12345'
}
});
couch.listDatabases().then(function(dbs){
console.log(dbs);
});

const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.use (bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
app.get('/', function(req,res){
 res.render('index');
});
app.listen(3000, function(){
 console.log('Server is started on Port 3000');
})
