Hi Jurg
>From what I understand of your situation, I don't see why what Paul
suggested wouldn't work. If you have the following as your map
function
function(doc) {
if( doc.type == 'Article') {
emit( doc._id, 0);
} else if( doc.type == 'Comment') {
emit( doc.path[0], 1);
}
}
when you reduce it* you will have a list of articles with a comment
count. Note that you there is no requirement to call emit for each
document. If you don't want a document to appear in a view then just
don't call emit on it. Reduce isn't meant to be used as a filter,
that's what map is for.
* Remember to add :group => true to your couchrest view call, as Futon
silently adds it, but it otherwise defaults to being false.
Sorry, this is basically a rehash of what Paul said, but it seems that
you possibly misunderstood his suggestion. Either that or I
misunderstood your reply, which is also quite possible... :)
