Use CouchDB with .NET

Question

Can .NET (managed code) read and write to CouchDB?

I would like to build a part of my project that does document management using CouchDB

I recommend the CouchDb.Repository.Helper package. It is comprehensive and allows you to create your queries in XML files with parse of dynamic parameters according to values ​​of variables or properties of objects.

I had the same need and after evaluating the options available, to meet the requirements of my application, I created these components that helped me a lot and maybe they can help you and also others. I make it clear that I have no intention of promoting myself here, just sharing something that may be useful.

The detailed explanation of how to configure and use it is on github.

Example of use for retrieving documents with mango-querie:

IList users;
var sts = new List { "ACTIVE", "LOCKED" };
using (UserRepository db = new UserRepository())
{
    var query = db.FindOf("list-status", new { id = "OwnerIdloop.user.7", statuses = sts });
    users = db.List(query);
}
Array.ForEach(users.ToArray(), Console.WriteLine);

Example of adding documents:

User user = createUser("email@email.com");
using (UserRepository db = new UserRepository())
{
    var result = db.Insert(user); // add document and return instance changed with operation revision id
    Console.WriteLine(result.Revision);
}

Example of changing documents:

using (UserRepository db = new UserRepository())
{
    // Load document data by ID
    var user = db.Get("email@email.com");
    user.Name = user.Name + "::CHANGED";

    var result = db.Update(user); // update document and return instance changed with operation revision id
    Console.WriteLine(result.Revision);
}

Example of deleting documents:

using (UserRepository db = new UserRepository())
{
    // Load document data by ID
    var user = db.Get("email@email.com");

    var result = db.Delete(user); // delete document from database. Return true case sucess or false case not deleted
    Console.WriteLine($"Sucesso: {result}");
}

Hope this helps!
