An example of using go-couchbase, a Go driver for Couchbase, for views.

go-couchbase-views.go

package main 

import "fmt"
import "log"
import "github.com/couchbaselabs/go-couchbase"

/* the view is a JavaScript map function that returns a list of key-value rows. Each row has a birthday as key and the document id as value. To obtain the entire doc, just replace `meta.id` with `doc`.

function (doc, meta) {
  if(doc.birthday) {
    emit(doc.birthday, meta.id);
  }
}

*/

func main() {
  
	people, err := couchbase.GetBucket("http://localhost:8091/", "default", "people")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to connect to the bucket people:", err)
	}

	res, err := people.View("dev_people", "by_age", map[string]interface{}{
		// a hack: the compiler compels to add a comma before a newline
		// I prefer to have a newline because it make the code more readable
		"descending": true,
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to get the view by_age:", err)
	}

	fmt.Println("Total rows: ", res.TotalRows)
	fmt.Println("Rows:", res.Rows)
