I'm implementing a message application using CouchDB. I want to apply timestamps to each message. I found some references indicating that I should use document update handlers for this. In place updates seem like the right thing. But where would I get a timestamp from? Is it in the req object somewhere?
{
updates: {
"in-place" : function(doc, req) {
doc.timestamp = "???";
var message = "set timestamp to "+doc.timestamp;
return [doc, message];
}
}
}

Reset to default 7The answer is to use javascript's date functions.
{
updates: {
"in-place" : function(doc, req) {
doc.timestamp = new Date().getTime();
var message = "set timestamp to "+doc.timestamp;
return [doc, message];
}
}
}
Unfortunately, getting this update to trigger from jcouchdb is the next problem.
