You can quickly bootstrap a project with the Java and Scala starter kits :
- https://github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/play-crud-starter-kit
- https://github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/play-java-starter-kit
- https://github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/play-scala-starter-kit
The binaries are here :
- https://github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/repository/raw/master/starterkits/play-crud-starter-kit.zip
- https://github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/repository/raw/master/starterkits/play-java-starter-kit.zip
- https://github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/repository/raw/master/starterkits/play-scala-starter-kit.zip
Just download the zip file, unzip it, change the app name/version in the build.sbt
file and you're ready to go.
in your build.sbt
file add dependencies and resolvers like :
name := "myproject"
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala)
scalaVersion := "2.11.1"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
cache,
ws,
"org.reactivecouchbase" %% "reactivecouchbase-play" % "0.3"
)
resolvers += "ReactiveCouchbase" at "https://raw.github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/repository/master/releases"
or if you use the good old project\Build.scala
file :
import sbt._
import Keys._
import play.Play.autoImport._
import PlayKeys._
import play.PlayScala
object ApplicationBuild extends Build {
lazy val root = Project(id = "My Project", base = file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala).settings(
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
cache,
ws,
"org.reactivecouchbase" %% "reactivecouchbase-play" % "0.3"
),
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT",
scalaVersion := "2.11.1",
organization := "com.foo.bar",
incOptions := incOptions.value.withNameHashing(true),
resolvers += "ReactiveCouchbase repository" at "https://raw.github.com/ReactiveCouchbase/repository/master/releases"
)
}
then create a conf/play.plugins
file and add :
400:org.reactivecouchbase.play.plugins.CouchbasePlugin
add in your conf/application.conf
file :
couchbase {
buckets = [{
host="127.0.0.1"
port="8091"
base="pools"
bucket="bucketname"
user=""
pass=""
timeout="0"
}]
}
You will then be able to use the couchbase API from your Play controllers. The following code is asynchronous and uses Play's Action.async { ... }
API under the hood. As you will need an execution context for all those async calls, you can use PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
based on your application.conf
file. You can of course use Play default Execution Context (through import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits._
) or your own.
import play.api.mvc.{Action, Controller}
import play.api.libs.json._
import org.reactivecouchbase.play._
import play.api.Play.current
case class User(name: String, surname: String, email: String)
object UserController extends Controller with CouchbaseController {
implicit val couchbaseExecutionContext = PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
implicit val userReader = Json.reads[User]
def getUser(key: String) = CouchbaseAction { bucket =>
bucket.get[User](key).map { maybeUser =>
maybeUser.map(user => Ok(views.html.user(user)).getOrElse(BadRequest(s"Unable to find user with key: $key"))
}
}
}
this code is a shortcut for
import play.api.mvc.{Action, Controller}
import play.api.libs.json._
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.Couchbase
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.CouchbaseBucket
import play.api.Play.current
case class User(name: String, surname: String, email: String)
object UserController extends Controller {
implicit val couchbaseExecutionContext = PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
implicit val userReader = Json.reads[User]
def getUser(key: String) = Action.async {
val bucket = PlayCouchbase.defaultBucket
bucket.get[User](key).map { maybeUser =>
maybeUser.map(user => Ok(views.html.user(user)).getOrElse(BadRequest(s"Unable to find user with key: $key"))
}
}
}
You can also access Couchbase from your Java application :
package controllers;
import models.ShortURL;
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.java.couchbase.Couchbase;
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.java.couchbase.CouchbaseBucket;
import play.libs.F;
import static play.libs.F.*;
import play.mvc.Controller;
import play.mvc.Result;
public class Application extends Controller {
public static CouchbaseBucket bucket = Couchbase.bucket("bucket1");
public static Result getUser(final String key) {
return async(
bucket.get(key, User.class).map(new Function<User, Result>() {
@Override
public Result apply(User user) throws Throwable {
if (user == null) {
return badRequest("Unable to find user with key: " + key);
}
return ok(views.html.user.render(user));
}
})
);
}
}
and with Java 8
package controllers;
import models.ShortURL;
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.java.couchbase.Couchbase;
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.java.couchbase.CouchbaseBucket;
import play.libs.F;
import static play.libs.F.*;
import play.mvc.Controller;
import play.mvc.Result;
public class Application extends Controller {
public static CouchbaseBucket bucket = Couchbase.bucket("bucket1");
public static Result getUser(final String key) {
return async(
bucket.get(key, User.class).map(user -> {
if (user == null) {
return badRequest("Unable to find user with key: " + key);
}
return ok(views.html.user.render(user));
})
);
}
}
You can of course connect many buckets with :
couchbase {
...
buckets = [{
host=["127.0.0.1", "192.168.0.42"]
port="8091"
base="pools"
bucket="bucket1"
user=""
pass=""
timeout="0"
}, {
host="127.0.0.1"
port="8091"
base="pools"
bucket="bucket2"
user=""
pass=""
timeout="0"
}, {
host="192.168.0.42"
port="8091"
base="pools"
bucket="bucket3"
user=""
pass=""
timeout="0"
}]
}
then select one of them for each of your operation :
object UserController extends Controller with CouchbaseController {
implicit val couchbaseExecutionContext = PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
implicit val userReader = Json.reads[User]
implicit val beerReader = Json.reads[Beer]
def getUser(key: String) = CouchbaseAction("bucket1") { bucket =>
bucket.get[User](key).map { maybeUser =>
maybeUser.map(user => Ok(views.html.user(user)).getOrElse(BadRequest(s"Unable to find user with key: $key"))
}
}
def getBeer(key: String) = CouchbaseAction("bucket2") { request => bucket =>
bucket.get[Beer](key).map { maybeBeer =>
maybeBeer.map(beer => Ok(views.html.beer(beer)).getOrElse(BadRequest(s"Unable to find beer with key: $key"))
}
}
}
import play.api.libs.json._
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.Couchbase
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.CouchbaseBucket
import org.reactivecouchbase.client.OpResult
import play.api.Play.current
case class Beer(id: String, name: String, brewery: String) {
def save(): Future[OpResult] = Beer.save(this)
def remove(): Future[OpResult] = Beer.remove(this)
}
object Beer {
implicit val beerFmt = Json.format[Beer]
implicit val ec = PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
def bucket = PlayCouchbase.bucket("default")
def findById(id: String): Future[Option[Beer]] = {
bucket.get[Beer](id)
}
def findAll(): Future[List[Beer]] = {
bucket.find[Beer]("beer", "by_name")(new Query().setIncludeDocs(true).setStale(Stale.FALSE))
}
def findByName(name: String): Future[Option[Beer]] = {
val query = new Query().setIncludeDocs(true).setLimit(1)
.setRangeStart(ComplexKey.of(name))
.setRangeEnd(ComplexKey.of(s"$name\uefff").setStale(Stale.FALSE))
bucket.find[Beer]("beer", "by_name")(query).map(_.headOption)
}
def save(beer: Beer): Future[OpResult] = {
bucket.set[Beer](beer.id, beer)
}
def remove(beer: Beer): Future[OpResult] = {
bucket.delete(beer.id)
}
}

Play2-couchbase provides a way to simulate capped buckets (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/capped-collections/). You can see a capped bucket as a circular buffer. Once the buffer is full, the oldest entry is removed from the bucket.
Here, the bucket isn't really capped at couchbase level. It is capped at play2-couchbase level. You can use a bucket as a capped bucket using :
def bucket = PlayCouchbase.cappedBucket("default", 100) // here I use the default bucket as a capped bucket of size 100
of course, only data inserted with this CappedBucket
object are considered for capped bucket features.
val john = Json.obj("name" -> "John", "fname" -> "Doe")
for (i <- 0 to 200) {
bucket.insert(UUID.randomUUID().toString, john)
}
// still 100 people in the bucket (and possibly other data inserted with standard API)
When a json object is inserted, a timestamp is add to the object and this timestamp will be used to manage all the capped bucket features.
The nice part with capped buckets is the tail
function. It's like using a tail -f
command on the datas of the capped bucket
def tailf = Action.async {
val enumerator1 = bucket.tail[JsValue]()
val enumerator2 = bucket.tail[JsValue](1265457L) // start to read data from 1265457L timestamp
val enumerator3 = bucket.tail[JsValue](1265457L, 200, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) // update every 200 milliseconds
enumerator1.map( Ok.chunked( _ ) )
}
If you want to quickly bootstrap a project with Play2 Couchbase, it's pretty easy, you can use the CRUD utilities.
To do so, first create a model :
case class ShortURL(id: String, originalUrl: String)
then declare an implicit Json Formatter that will be used for Json serialization/deserialization
import play.api.libs.json.Json
object ShortURL {
implicit val fmt = Json.format[ShortURL]
}
Now you can do two things :
- create a CRUD source
- create a CRUD controller
let's try the CRUD controller
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.crud.CouchbaseCrudSourceController
import models.ShortURL
import models.ShortURLs.fmt
import org.reactivecouchbase.play._
import play.api.Play.current
object ShortURLController extends CouchbaseCrudSourceController[ShortURL] {
def bucket = PlayCouchbase.bucket("default")
}
and add the following route to your routes
file
-> /urls controllers.ShortURLController
now you will be able to do :
GET /urls/?doc=docName&view=viewName # get all urls according to a view
POST /urls/ # create a url
GET /urls/{id} # get a url
PUT /urls/{id} # update url
PUT /urls/{id}/partial # partially update url
DELETE /urls/{id} # delete url
POST /urls/find/?doc=docName&view=viewName&q=query # search urls
GET /urls/stream/?doc=docName&view=viewName&q=query # search urls as HTTP stream
POST /urls/batch # create multiple urls
PUT /urls/batch # update multiple urls
DELETE /urls/batch # delete multiple urls
it is also possible to define default design doc name, view and id key :
object ShortURLController extends CouchbaseCrudSourceController[ShortURL] {
def bucket = PlayCouchbase.bucket("default")
override def defaultViewName = "by_url"
override def defaultDesignDocname = "shorturls"
override def idKey = "__myAwesomeIdKey"
}
you can also only define a CRUD source containing all needed methods with :
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.crud.CouchbaseCrudSource
import models.ShortURL
import models.ShortURLs.fmt
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.Couchbase
import play.api.Play.current
object ShortURLSource extends CouchbaseCrudSource[ShortURL]( Couchbase.bucket("default") ) {}
You can also access this feature from Java
public class ShortURLController extends CrudSourceController<ShortURL> {
private final CrudSource<ShortURL> source = new CrudSource<ShortURL>( Couchbase.bucket("default"), ShortURL.class );
//private final CrudSource<ShortURL> source = new CrudSource<ShortURL>( Couchbase.bucket("default"), "__myAwesomeIdKey", ShortURL.class );
@Override
public CrudSource<ShortURL> getSource() {
return source;
}
@Override
public String defaultDesignDocname() {
return "shorturls";
}
@Override
public String defaultViewName() {
return "by_url";
}
}
You will need a controller instanciator for that :
import controllers.ShortURLController;
import play.GlobalSettings;
public class Global extends GlobalSettings {
// You can really do something more clever here ;-)
public <A> A getControllerInstance(java.lang.Class<A> aClass) throws java.lang.Exception {
if (aClass.equals(ShortURLController.class)) {
return (A) new ShortURLController();
}
throw new RuntimeException("Cannot instanciate " + aClass.getName());
}
}
and also to define routes (yeah I know it's boring, but it's a work in progress right now)
GET /urls/ @controllers.ShortURLController.find()
POST /urls/ @controllers.ShortURLController.insert()
POST /urls/find @controllers.ShortURLController.find()
POST /urls/batch @controllers.ShortURLController.batchInsert()
PUT /urls/batch @controllers.ShortURLController.batchUpdate()
DELETE /urls/batch @controllers.ShortURLController.batchDelete()
PUT /urls/:id/partial @controllers.ShortURLController.updatePartial(id)
GET /urls/:id @controllers.ShortURLController.get(id)
DELETE /urls/:id @controllers.ShortURLController.delete(id)
PUT /urls/:id @controllers.ShortURLController.update(id)
Note : You can also use the awesome play-autosource project (https://github.com/mandubian/play-autosource) that comes with Couchbase support
N1QL is the Couchbase Query Language. The N1QL Developer Preview 2 (DP2) is a pre-beta release of the language and is available at
http://www.couchbase.com/communities/n1ql
The ReactiveCouchbase plugin offers a very experimental access to N1QL based on the N1QL DP1. As it is experimental, I can not ensure that this feature will not massively change and/or will be continued.
First setup your N1QL query server. Download it and expand it. Then connect it to your Couchbase server.
./cbq-engine -couchbase http://:8091/`
Now you have to configure N1QL in you conf/application.conf
file add :
couchbase {
n1ql {
host="127.0.0.1"
port=8093
}
}
And now you can use it from your application
import play.api.libs.json._
import org.reactivecouchbase._
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.plugins.CouchbaseN1QLPlugin._
import play.api.libs.iteratee.{Enumerator, Enumeratee}
case class Person(fname: String, age: Int)
object N1QLQuerier extends Controller {
implicit val personFormat = Json.format[Person]
implicit val bucket = PlayCouchbase.bucket("default")
implicit val couchbaseExecutionContext = PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
def find(age: Int) = Action.async {
N1QL( s""" SELECT fname, age FROM tutorial WHERE age > ${age} """, driver )
.toList[Person].map { persons =>
Ok(s"Persons older than ${age}", persons))
}
}
}
or use it the Enumerator way
import play.api.libs.json._
import org.reactivecouchbase._
import org.reactivecouchbase.play.plugins.CouchbaseN1QLPlugin._
import play.api.libs.iteratee.{Enumerator, Enumeratee}
case class Person(fname: String, age: Int)
object N1QLQuerier extends Controller {
implicit val personFormat = Json.format[Person]
implicit val bucket = PlayCouchbase.bucket("default")
implicit val couchbaseExecutionContext = PlayCouchbase.couchbaseExecutor
def find(age: Int) = Action.async {
N1QL( s""" SELECT fname, age FROM tutorial WHERE age > ${age} """, driver )
.enumerate[Person].map { enumerator =>
Ok.chunked((enumerator &>
Enumeratee.collect[Person] { case p@Person(_, age) if age < 50 => p } ><>
Enumeratee.map[Person](personFormat.writes)) >>>
Enumerator.eof))
}
}
}
in conf/play.plugins
file and add :
500:org.reactivecouchbase.play.plugins.CouchbaseCachePlugin
then you need to add the following to your configuration
couchbase {
cache {
bucket="name of the bucket to use"
enabled=true
}
...
}
you can also specify a common namespace for the cache keys with
couchbase {
cache {
bucket="name of the bucket to use"
enabled=true
namespace="play-cache."
}
...
}
then you can use your Play Cache the standard way
Cache.set("item.key", connectedUser)
val maybeUser: Option[User] = Cache.getAs[User]("item.key")
You can use CouchbaseEvolutionsPlugin to automaticaly create your design documents at application start from json files.
in conf/play.plugins
file and add :
600:org.reactivecouchbase.play.plugins.CouchbaseEvolutionsPlugin
then configure the plugin
couchbase {
...
evolutions {
#documents = ... #optional, default conf/views
#disabled = ... #optional, default false
#use.locks = ... #optional, default true
default { #default is the name of your bucket
apply = true
synchronise = true
}
}
}
The plugin will search your design documents in folders named as your buckets in the couchbase.evolutions.documents
value
conf
views
default
tweets.json
users.json
...
...
Your json might look like
{
"views":{
"withMedia": {
"map": "function (doc, meta) {\n if(doc.entities.media)\n emit(dateToArray(doc.created_at))\n}"
}
}
}
The name of the design document will be the name of the json file. You can specify another one in the json
{
"name":"my_doc",
"views":{
"withMedia": {
"map": "function (doc, meta) {\n if(doc.entities.media)\n emit(dateToArray(doc.created_at))\n}"
}
}
}
Note : Design documents synchronisation is not yet available
You can use CouchbaseFixturesPlugin to automaticaly insert data into buckets.
in conf/play.plugins
file and add :
700:org.reactivecouchbase.play.plugins.CouchbaseFixturesPlugin
then configure the plugin
couchbase {
...
fixtures {
#documents = ... #optional, default conf/fixtures
#disabled = ... #optional, default false
default { #default is the name of your bucket
insert = true
key = "_id" # the json member to extract key for insertion
}
}
}
The plugin will search data in folders named as your buckets in the couchbase.fixtures.documents
value
conf
fixtures
default
users.json
Your json MUST BE an ARRAY structure containing your JSON documents (even if there is only one doc inside) and might look like :
[
{
"_id": "1",
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john.doe@gmail.com",
"password": "password"
},
{
"_id": "2",
"name": "Jane Doe",
"email": "jane.doe@gmail.com",
"password": "password"
}
]
Note : Your documents will be overwritten at each startup. Removed json files won't be removed from your buckets.
Here is the complete plugin configuration with default values
couchbase {
useplayec=true # the plugin can use play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits.defaultContext as execution context, optional
cache { # cache related configuration, optional
namespace="" # key prefix if couchbase used as cache with the cache plugin, optional
enabled=false # enable cache with couchbase, optional
}
fixtures { # fixtures related configuration, optional
disabled=false # disable fixtures, optional
documents="conf/fixtures" # path for fixtures files, optional
$bucketName {
