How to update couchbase lite view with Rest API ?
From Rest API how to tell indexer that view is updated . I have tried the below code but it did not work.It still returns the old index.
What is the correct way of telling indexer that view is updated so that it can recreate the index.
'PUT'
{db}/_design/todo
{
"_rev":"hf675757577hhfh",
"views":{
"list":{
"map":function(doc){
if(doc.type=='list')
{
emit(doc._id,{"name":doc.name});
}
},
//"version":"1.0" (I have tryied this but not work)
}
}
}
//My view create request was like below:
{db}/_design/todo
{
"views":{
"list":{
"map":function(doc){
if(doc.type=='list')
{
emit(doc._id,{"name":doc.name});
}
},
//"version":"1.0" (I have tryied this but not work)
}
}
}

It looks like you may just have some formatting problems. This shows how to do what you're trying from the command line:
curl -X PUT 'http://localhost:4985/db/_design/todo' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{ "_rev": "hf675757577hhfh", "views": { "list": { "map": "function(doc) { if (doc.type == \"list\") { emit(doc._id, { \"name\": doc.name }); }}"}}}'
You can test your results with this command:
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:4985/db/_design/todo/_view/list'
