List function editing in Futon
2009-07-19 22:35
Futon is the graphical administration interface for CouchDB. It’s nice and slick for browsing and editing views, but there is one feature missing: you can’t edit _list functions in similar fashion. You need to edit them as JSON strings.
As I wanted to play a bit with _list, I’ve created a branch which implements such an interface. Its usage should be quite self-explanatory. Just select a _view, from there you can switch to the "List" tab to create or edit a _list function.
You can get my futon-list branch at GitHub. Instead of using git, you can also download the share/wwww directory (click on the download button within the ‘share/www’ directory) and unpack it over your current source.
In case you wonder why your _list function doesn’t work, the API has changed for CouchDB 0.10.
