Return ID & Rev after Document PUT

[N-Vlahovic]

Hi,

I am a long time couchdb-python user and am currently merging to couchdb2.

I was wondering if it is possible to return the doc id & rev when put-ing a single document (it is my understanding Database.put returns None).

The workaround would be doing something of the form

# ...
success, identifier, revision = db.update([doc])

While working, this workaround seems less satisfying than something like ... = db.put(doc).

Is there something I am missing or am being overly pedantic here? If not, do you think this feature would be worth considering?

Best regards,

Both the _id and _rev are updated in the doc when doing db.put(doc). So I do not think it is necessary to return those values also.

You could create a subclass of Database and redefine put to do that, something like this:

class Database2(Database):
    def put(self, doc):
        super().put(doc)
        return doc["_id"], doc["_rev"]
