> If you want to add external modules in CouchDB and load them , you need to
> set the ERL_FLAGS environnement variable to the path of a module.
> The attached patch allows couchdb to load plugins from plugin key in couchdb
> section. It add needed path to the code path, so the vm can find modules.
> ex:
> [couchdb]
> plugins = plugin1, plugin2
> Each plugin can have its own section where it set the binaries patch,
> eventually if a service need to be added to the supervision you can set the
> module and function to load like in daemon section and tel if it's a
> supervisor or simple service.
> It also allows couchdb to load a plugin service (gen_server or such) to the
> supervision. You can choose if the service is a simple daemon or a supervisor.
> ex:
> [plugin1]
> code_path = /path/to/plugin1/ebin
> daemon = {module, function, [Args]}
> supervisor = false
> Let me know what you think about it. This patch is really useful here and
> allows me to dynamically load modules I want. Also it eases the integration
> of external module. For ex I can load my couchapp_ng modules with this lines
> in local.ini :
> [couchdb]
> plugins = couchapp-ng
> [couchapp-ng]
> code_path=/Users/benoitc/work/couchapp_ng/ebin
> daemon = {couchapp_ng_routes, start_link, []}
> [httpd_design_handlers]
> _app = {couchapp_ng_httpd, handle_app_req}
> [couchapp_ng_handlers]
> rewrite = {couchapp_ng_handlers, rewrite_handler}
> proxy = {couchapp_ng_handlers, proxy_handler}
> and can do the same with geocouch etc. Tested here with these modules.
