Release 1.1.0 Changes

In release 1.1.0, we have made some changes to the Alloy sync adapter which should make it much easier to define and use views. Views are now defined as a dictionary instead of an array, and each view can have its own set of predefined query options. Example:

  config: {
    adapter: {
      type: "titouchdb",
      dbname: "clients",
      views: {
        "client_by_lastname": {
          map: function(doc) {
            if (doc.modelname === 'client') {
              emit([doc.last, doc.first], null);
            }
          }
        },
        "client_by_created": {
          map: function(doc) {
            if (doc.modelname === 'client') {
              emit(doc.created, null);
            }
          },
          // options that apply only to this view
          query_options: {
            descending: true
          }
        }
      },
      // options that apply to all views
      default_query_options: {
        prefetch: true
      },
      modelname: 'client'
    }
  },

The config.adapter.default_query_options set properties on the Query object used to run the views and apply to all views defined in the model file. In version 1.1.0, you can also define a config.adapter.views.<viewname>.query_options to define options that apply for a particular view. These options override anything in default_query_options. Both of these properties can also be overridden when calling fetch; for example, to get a list of clients by creation date in ascending order:

clients.fetch({ view: 'client_by_created', descending: false });
