restfull and shorter urls for lists and shows
---------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-404
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-404
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface
Affects Versions: 0.10
Environment: *
Reporter: Benoit Chesneau
We discussing yesterday with @jchris and @jasondavies about shortening
shows and lists urls and we arrived on this format :
/db/docid?show=dname/showname
/db/_view/dname/vname?list=listname
This change is very usefull since it allows shorter urls and I think
it's more RESTFul. I had time this morning to write this and I created
a branch on my github repository :
http://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/tree/formuri
To do this I refactored a little couch_httpd_show to reuse code to
display lists and shows and added URL parameters parsing/validation.
All changes made in this branch don't break current CouchDB behavior
so :
* Views are available on
/db/_design/designame/_view/viewname (current behavior) but also on
/db/_view/designame/viewname
* Lists are available on
/db/_design/designame/_list/listname/viewname (current behavior)
but also on
/db/_view/designame/viewname?list=listname
* Shows are available on
/db/_design/designame/_show/showname/docid
but also on
/db/docid?show=designame/showname
