Connect to Cloudant CouchDB with Node.js?

Question

I am trying to connect to my CouchDB database on Cloudant using Node.js.

This worked on the shell:

    curl https://weng:password@weng.cloudant.com/m

This answer is looking a bit dated. Here is an updated answer that I verified using the following Cloudant Supported NPM Node Client library that works. https://www.npmjs.com/package/cloudant#getting-started

And to answer his question on how to list his databases use the following code.

//Specify your Cloudant Database Connection URL. For Bluemix format is: https://username:password@xxxxxxxxx-bluemix.cloudant.com

dbCredentials_url = "https://username:password@xxxxxxxxx-bluemix.cloudant.com"; // Set this to your own account 

// Initialize the library with my account. 
// Load the Cloudant library. 
cloudant = require('cloudant')(dbCredentials_url);

// List the Cloudant databases
cloudant.db.list(function(err, allDbs) {
console.log('All my databases: %s', allDbs.join(', ')) });
