Paul Joseph Davis updated COUCHDB-667:
--------------------------------------
Skill Level: Regular Contributors Level (Easy to Medium)
> Futon implicit typing when adding/editing fields is flawed
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-667
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-667
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Futon
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Environment: Linux (Ubuntu 9.10), Chromium/Firefox
> Reporter: Matt Goodall
>
> Futon's doc editor tries to guess the type of values, often getting it wrong.
> I discovered it when a JSON object containing items was turned into a string,
> breaking my application. e.g. {...} was quoted giving "{...}". Unfortunately,
> I cannot reproduce this.
> However, other (admittedly contrived) examples are:
> 1. Add a field and enter the string "1" as the value. Edit the value and try
> to enter the number 1 instead. The value is implicitly converted back to a
> string.
> 2. Add a field and enter the string "[]" as the value. Try to change the
> value to the string "[100]". The value is implicitly converted to the list
> [100].
> Personally, I think the implicit type conversion is a really bad idea and
> should be removed. It might be nice to special-case the doc id but even that
> doesn't really seem worth the effort.
