Couchy: There Are Many Like It but This One is Mine

Couchy is a simple, no-frills, Ruby wrapper around CouchDB's RESTFul API.

server = CouchRest.new
database = server.database('articles')
response = database.save(:title => 'Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok', :content => 'Some text.')
document = database.get(response['id'])
database.delete(document)
puts document.inspect

The fellowing gems are required:

• rest-client

To run the test and generate the code coverage report, you also need :

• test/spec
• mocha
• rcov
• rspec, for the legacy tests

and yard to generate the documentation.

It started as an Hardcore Forking Action of jchris's CouchRest I ended up:

• Writing more tests. The legacy tests are rather integration tests while those I wrote are unit tests.
• DRY-ing it up
• Writing some documentation using YARD

Unfortunately, jchris didn't merge the changes for some reasons.

Thank a lot to him for having written CouchRest in the first place and having allowed me to relicense my fork under another license.
