Using DataLoader with CouchDB

CouchDB is a "NoSQL" document database which supports batch loading via the HTTP Bulk Document API, making it well suited for use with DataLoader.

This example uses the nano CouchDB client which offers a fetch method supporting the bulk document API.

var DataLoader = require('dataloader');
var nano = require('nano');

var couch = nano('http://localhost:5984');

var userDB = couch.use('users');
var userLoader = new DataLoader(keys => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  userDB.fetch({ keys: keys }, (error, docs) => {
    if (error) {
      return reject(error);
    }
    resolve(docs.rows.map(row => row.error ? new Error(row.error) : row.doc));
  });
}));

// Usage

var promise1 = userLoader.load('8fce1902834ac6458e9886fa7f89c0ef');
var promise2 = userLoader.load('00a271787f89c0ef2e10e88a0c00048b');

Promise.all([ promise1, promise2 ]).then(([ user1, user2]) => {
  console.log(user1, user2);
});
