Re: [PROPOSAL] Allow rewrites to be JS function

2015-10-20 Thread Dale Harvey
This discussion has gone round and round a couple of times in different forms so I will avoid repeating my previous points but from working on PouchDB, the focus on having 'PouchDB' be a database only is fairly liberating, by not trying to add fairly arbitrary "application platform" features into

On the server side you can run what ever JavaScript you want, it is far less limited than client side JavaScript. PouchDB also runs on the server and has the exact same issue in terms of seperation of concerns. PouchDB doesnt expect developers to do dom manipulation, templating, scheduling and

Hi Dale I dont understand the “integrate with their use case as best as we possibly can” when it comes to rewrite and reverse proxy. As far as I know there is nothing to integrate here. The joy for PouchDB to be a pure database is very understandable, since it sits in this rich environment that

Sorry. Robert, would this work if you wrapped these more-than-one-liners into small JS projects, and maybe use shell.js so you get the portability? Best Jan -- > On 20 Oct 2015, at 18:03, Joan Touzet wrote: > > Hi Robert, > > I'm presently migrating our one Makefile left

Extendability and Upgradability with npm - what could be more extendable and more flexible? I like the expression "Single Shot Application Server" - that smells like a glance of its own. There is always a way top-down AND bottom-up otherwise it feels for me that there is something missing.
