Create a changes stream from couchdb and turn docs into Vinyl objects.

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save vinyl-changes-stream

var changes = require('vinyl-changes-stream');

Create a stream of vinyl files from a couchdb changes stream provided by changes-stream. Files contain a stringified change object on file.contents and the raw JSON object on file.json. file.id and file.seq are also populated with the .id and .seq from the change object.

Params

• options {Object|String}: Options object for passing additional options to changes-stream. If passed a string, that will be used for the db.
• options.db {String}: The couchdb database to get changes from.
• options.since {Number}: Optionally specify the seq id to start from. This seq id will not be included in the stream.
• options.limit {Number}: Optionally specify a limit to how many changes are returned. Once the limit has been met, the stream will end.
• returns {Stream}: Returns a stream to be used in a pipeline

Events

• emits: current When the stream has caught up to the current seq, the seq will be emitted.

Example

changes('https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry')
 .on('current', function(seq) {
   console.log('caught up to the current update', seq);
 })
 .pipe(through.obj(function(file, enc, next) {
   console.log(file.seq, file.id);
   //=> 123456 'some-package-name'
   next(null, file);
 }));
