CouchDb database spawner for Node.Js using node-couch

npm install node-couch-database-spawner --save

• https://npmjs.com/package/node-couch-database-spawner

var spawner = require('node-couch-database-spawner'),
        options = {
            databasesPath: './databases/',
            nodeCouch: { // node-couch options
               credentials: {
                   userName: 'user',
                   password: 'pass'
               },
               url: {
                   hostName: 'localhost',
                   port: 5984
               }
           }
        };

spawner.spawn(options);

node-couch-database-spawner reads a local file/folder structure to build up database definitions to be spawned. Inside the options.databasesPath it is expected that the file/folder structure is as follows:

• [DatabaseName]: Folder - Can be chosen.
  • designs: Folder - Name must be designs.
    • [AnyNameDesignDocument].js: File - Design document specification (Node.Js JavaScript format). File name is irrelevant.
    • ... - Any amount.
  • documents: Folder - Name must be documents.
    • [DocumentType]: Folder - Containing documents divided by type. Each document under the folder will be augmented with a type property having the value of the folder name.
      • [AnyNameDocument].json: File - Document specification (JSON format). File name is irrelevant.
      • ... - Any amount.
    • ... - Any amount.

(Re)Spawns CouchDb databases using the folder/files defined under options.databasesPath.

String. Optional. Path to folder containing databases to be spawned, relative to current working directory. Defaults to: ./databases/.

Object. Required. See node-couch initialization data.

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality.
