Custom rest api's for CouchDB?

问题

I have been googling around trying to find examples or just a straight answer to my question. Is it possible to create/extend my own custom api endpoints for couchDB? Such as for example can I create a api call like http://127.0.0.1:5984/database/FillDatabase/... to fill the database with data?

If couchDB does indeed provide this functionality, then please provide me with a link perhaps to some tutorial/guide/example if possible. Thanks.

You may want the _rewrites feature, which allows any view to rewrite an incoming URL for that database.

However, for root-level APIs, and for ease of customization, it is considered better to impose a web engine in front of CouchDB (nginx, a node.js server, etc.). _rewrites is flexible enough to simplify the API for a specific db, but it's not intended to handle all incoming requests, and can quickly become unwieldy.

You would also be limited to the work that CouchDB can handle - for example, the FillDatabase custom API would need to conform to the bulk API.

The CouchDB bulk document API allows you to create and update multiple documents at the same time within a single HTTP request

With Angular's HttpClient class for example, this can be done as follows:

const baseURL = 'http://localhost:5984/';
let httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
httpHeaders = httpHeaders.set('Accept', 'application/json');
httpHeaders = httpHeaders.set('Content-type', 'application/json');
httpHeaders = httpHeaders.set('Authorization', 'Basic ' + btoa(username + ':' + password));
const httpOptions = { headers: httpHeaders, withCredentials: true };

this.httpClient.post<any>(baseURL + database + '/_bulk_docs',
      { docs: myDocuments }, httpOptions);
