list all database in CouchDb view,validation functions

I need a get a list of all databases in a Couchdb server inside a view/validation function.

Is there CouchDb predefiend function that i can use it inside function (like emit)?

I know i can do http request to get this , something like :

"http://server/_all_dbs"

but it is realy messy.

Thanks oren.

Couchdb documentation on _all_dbs can be found here

API calls look like: http://server_address:server_port/_all_dbs

Could you be more specific with "messy"? The API response body looks fine to me: an array of db names is what I expect.

You have 2 way to list all databases in the CouchDB server

Without Password

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:5984/_all_dbs

With Password

curl -X GET http://USER:[email protected]:5984/_all_dbs

You can use jq to make this less messy:

ccurl /all_dbs | jq

(The above uses ccurl to make life easier.)

No, within a view all you have visibility of is the document that you're processing.
