Setup

• install node.js from http://nodejs.org/

• install redis http://redis.io
• install CoffeeScript npm install -g coffee-script
• git clone this repo and cd into it
• run (sudo) npm install

Database Setup

• create two databases atw_users and atw_data
• in atw_users, create a new document: { "_id": "_design/users", "language": "javascript", "views": { "usersByName": { "map": "function(doc) {\n emit(doc.username, doc);\n}" }, "usersByServiceId": { "map": "function(doc) {\n if(doc.service_userid)\n emit(doc.service_userid, doc);\n}" } } }
• in atw_data, create a new document: { "_id": "_design/trips", "language": "javascript", "views": { "byUserIdAndSlug": { "map": "function(doc) {\n if(doc.type == 'trip' && doc.user_id)\n emit([doc.user_id, doc.slug], doc);\n}" } } }
• there might be an alert, that a document wasn't found...ignore it ;)

Development

• make sure that CouchDB and redis are running
