Re: Retrieving content from couchdb using CouchDB::Client

Is there a way to determine if newDoc might have failed to create the document? What is the result of running the following?

use warnings;
use CouchDB::Client;

my $c = CouchDB::Client->new(uri => 'http://127.0.0.1:5984/');
my $db = $c->newDB('test');
my ($doc)

if ($db->docExists('12345')) {
    print "hello\n";
} else {
  $doc  = $db->newDoc('12345', undef, {'foo'=>'bar'})->create;
}

print $doc->retrieve('12345');

CouchDB::Client::Doc=HASH(0x240e8e8) This is what i get in return, my point is that i created a document and then i am able to get it since $doc object is present but if the doc is present already in couchdb and i want to retrieve it then what should be the procedure. If i run the same code again then doc is already present in couchdb so i get this as output. hello Can't call method "retrieve" on an undefined value at couch.pl line 15.	[reply]

Perhaps apply the retrieve method to the $db object? `if ($db->docExists('12345')) { print "hello\n"; $doc = $db->retrieve('12345'); } else { $doc = $db->newDoc('12345', undef, {'foo'=>'bar'})->create; }` [download] Dum Spiro Spero	[reply] [d/l]
