The reason I ask is because of this, I have an update function that updates the 'status' key of a document.......but when I send the request (command line curl) I keep getting errors on the server return.
curl -X PUT http://localhost:5984/workers/_design/tasc/_update/status/94472998f519050f3a2271888d137ed7\?field=status\&value=RUNNING<http://localhost:5984/workers/_design/tasc/_update/status/94472998f519050f3a2271888d137ed7%5C?field=status%5C&value=RUNNING> {"error":"external_response_error","reason":"Invalid data from external server: {<<\"status\">>,<<\"RUNNING\">>}"} Here is my update function......do I need to JSON Encode the returned object message? { "status": "function(doc, req) { var field = req.query.field; var value = req.query.value; doc[field] = value; return[doc,{"status":value}]; }", } > On Sat, Dec 18, 2010 at 12:40 PM, Josh803316 <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Oops I forgot to ask how I encode as well, is it JSON.encode? >> >> >> On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 10:24 AM, Zachary Zolton < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> You can use the global JSON object for this: >>> >>> function(doc, req) { >>> var active_test = JSON.parse(req.body); >>> >>> doc['active_test'] = active_test; >>> return [doc, req.body]; >>> } >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Zach >>> >>> On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Josh803316 <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> > If I send a json string to my update handler as part of req.body what >>> is the >>> > best way to convert it to a JSON object? >>> > >>> > Do the CouchDb js libraries already include a built in JSON parser or >>> do I >>> > have to use eval? >>> > >>> > "active_test" : function(doc, req) { >>> > var active_test = eval('(' + req.body + ')'); >>> > >>> > doc['active_test'] = active_test; >>> > return [doc, req.body]; >>> > } >>> > >>> >> >> >
