Library installation

Getting started

The following code retrieves and prints the list of incredients of the apple_pie recipe. The incredients are stored as a list in the apple_pie Document, which is part of the recipe Database. We use the context manager CouchDB to create a new session.

from aiocouch import CouchDB

async with CouchDB(
    "http://localhost:5984", user="admin", password="admin"
) as couchdb:
    db = await couchdb["recipes"]
    doc = await db["apple_pie"]
    print(doc["incredients"])

We can also create new recipes, for instance for some delicious cookies.

    new_doc = await db.create(
        "cookies", data={"title": "Granny's cookies", "rating": "★★★★★"}
    )
    await new_doc.save()
