Hi Shipra,
Erlang views are meant as an expert feature for folks who are proficient in
CouchDB Views and Erlang, at which point you wouldn’t run into these issues, so
I’ll reiterate the recommendation you got on Slack and IRC at least three or
four times now to stick with JS views or Mango for now.
* * *
The error you are seeing is a syntax error in your erlang code. I can’t spot it
right now, but when taking it out of the JSON and running it in the erlang
console, it works fine:
2> Emit=fun(K, V) -> 1+2 end. % mock Emit just so the next line compiles
#Fun<erl_eval.12.127694169>
3> fun({Doc}) -> Id = couch_util:get_value(<<"_id">>, Doc), Doc_type =
couch_util:get_value(<<"TEMPLATE">>, Doc),Emit(Id, Doc_type) end.
#Fun<erl_eval.6.127694169>
What this function does, however is not what you want.
1. it extracts the doc._id field and assigns its value to the `Id` variable.
2. it extracts the doc.TEMPLATE field and assigns its value to the `Doc_type`
variable.
- I assume this is an error and you want the doc.type field or somesuch, not
doc.TEMPLATE.
3. it calls Emit with the Id as key and Doc_type as value.
- this builds index of docs by _id, and their associated TEMPLATE field value,
which is not what you describe you want.
To fix this:
1. find where the translation from the Erlang-in-JSON to inside the query
server goes wrong. Turn on CouchDB debug logging for help.
2. review your code for doc.TEMPLATE vs. doc.type
3. fix your Emit call to index by type instead of id.
* * *
The analysis however confirms that you are best served with JS views and/or
Mango for this task.
Best
