Hi Ian,
i don't get the point.
i comment my map / reduce functions just like i comment all my other
code in ohrer places, like this:
//this is my map function to map all docs
function(doc) {
//i jost emit every doc
emit(null, doc);
}
which results in a valid json like this:
{
"_id": "_design/delme",
"_rev": "1-bed099dd4d01031ac4c177f5d7acf372",
"language": "javascript",
"views": {
"delme": {
"map": "//this is my map function to map all
docs\nfunction(doc) {\n //i jost emit every doc\n emit(null,
doc);\n}"
}
}
}
in my opinion thats the right way, because i'am commenting the code,
not the data..
