the !code macro simply replaces itself with the content of the target. if you don't want to use couchapp, you have to insert your code yourself. "loading" from an external resource is not allowed since views wouldn't be side effect free (couch would not notice if the external code has been changed).
For loading code in show, list, update and validation functions you can use CommonJS-style modules (see http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/CommonJS_Modules ) On 07.05.2010, at 14:43, erich oliphant wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to figure out the best way to include js libs in my couch > show,view,etc functions.
