This app shows in a minimalistic way how the CRUD operation on CouchDB are made with the Kanso Framework (http://kan.so). You can do a login and a logout, add a new textphrase, change it and delete it. No event handling, no error handling, no jquery. Just as simple as possible as a point to start for absolute newbies like me. /* Short guide to make things running */ 0. Things you have should done before: - Installed CouchDB - Installed Kanso 1. Go to https://github.com/descartes1/Kanso-CRUD 2. Download the source to your PC 3. Extract the archive you downloaded before 4. You now should see a folder thats named something like "descartes1-Kanso-CRUD-XYZ123" 5. Rename the folder to Kanso-CRUD Your folder structure should now looks like Kanso-CRUD (folder) | |-lib (folder) |-static (folder) |-templates (folder) |-kanso.json (file) |-README (file) 6. Open a shell/termial 7. "cd" into the Kanso-CRUD folder, eg. "cd ./Kanso-CRUD" 8. Execute "kanso install" You now should have a additional folder "packages" in your Kanso-CRUD folder. 9. Execute " kanso push http://yourdbuser:yourdbpass@localhost:5984/crud ". Make sure, that your user has admin rights. If you don't have a databaseuser yet, you're probably in "Admin Party"-mode. If there is no database named crud in couchdb, it will be generated for you by kanso. 10. Go to http://localhost:5984/crud/_design/crud/_rewrite/ and enjoy.
