composer require chemem/fauxton-client dev-master
Fauxton, formerly Futon, is the name of the Couch Database web client. Like its predecessor, Fauxton is a robust web interface designed to ease interactions with CouchDB.
Fauxton-client is a PHP library written for the sole purpose of performing CouchDB operations such as creating databases, creating indexes and writing Mango queries.
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a popular approach to handling back-end information and follows Atomicity Consistency Isolation and Durability (ACID) conventions. Simply put, SQL databases allow those who use them to store unique data in relational, table structures.
NoSQL, on the other hand, presents a different paradigm to handling data interactions: NoSQL standards are a manifestation of Basically Available Soft-state Eventually consistent (BASE) practices. Couch Database is a NoSQL database that follows a document-oriented, key-value pair format that is also convenient for manipulating data.
I advise that you read the official CouchDB documentation so as to better understand the fauxton-client. Also, reading the fauxton-client wiki is recommended and therefore, prudent.
In order to run the unit tests, run the following command:
vendor/bin/phpunit -c phpunit.xml.dist
Endeavor to create an issue on GitHub when the need arises or send an email to [email protected]
In light of recent modification activity, the fauxton-client is temporarily unusable.
