[Experimental] Apache CouchDB-based Annotator Store

Annotator CouchApp

AnnotatorJS provides a Store plugin which inturn uses a simple Storage API that (thankfully!) maps quite nicely to Apache CouchDB's.

So...I built a CouchApp to fill in the missing bits.

Install

1. npm i to install dependencies
2. npm run anno to build annotator
3. npm run dev to build the annotator-pouchdb add-on
4. Download couchapp.py (or something that supports the CouchApp File System Mapping)
5. couchapp push . http://localhost:5984/annotator
6. Add this (or similar) code to an HTML page hosted form that database (or that can write to it ...see CORS)

var annotator = $('#content').annotator();
annotator.annotator('addPlugin', 'Store', {
  prefix: 'http://localhost:5984/annotator/_design/annotator/_rewrite'
});

Early days, yet.

AnnotatorJS has plugins for Auth, Permissions, and a few other Storage-facing things. It'd be super to add support for them here.

Patches welcome!
