Hey Steven,
I have not tested your code, but what seems to be the problem? are you getting
errors or simply not the output you anticipated?
Some hints though:
- you can use log() to emit messages to couchdb's logfile
- you should always use guards (like if (doc.Stores) { ... }) otherwise you can
easily get nasty bugs
- you can use the js console command to test your code
