Create Document in PouchDB

Create Document
To create a document in PouchDB, the db.put() method is used.

Syntax:

db.put(document, callback)

Example:

Create a file named “NewDocument.js” within a folder named “Examples”.

Add the below code to the file.NewDocument.js:

var PouchDB = require('PouchDB');
var db = new PouchDB('Example_Database');
doc = {
_id: '100',
name: 'Tom',
salary: 45000,
experience: 3
}
db.put(doc, function(err, response) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
} else {
console.log("Document Successfully Created.");
}
});

Open the command prompt.
Execute the .js file.
```
node NewDocument.js
```

To insert a Document in Remote Database:

Instead of the database name, pass the path of the database to insert a document in CouchDB or remote server.

Example:

Create a file named “NewRemoteDocument.js” within a folder named “Examples”.

Add the below code to the file.
NewRemoteDocument.js:

var PouchDB = require('PouchDB');
var db = new PouchDB('http://localhost:5984/students');
doc = {
_id: '100',
name: 'Tom',
salary: 45000,
experience: 3
}
db.put(doc, function(err, response) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
} else {
console.log("Document Successfully Created.");
}
});

Open the command prompt.
Execute the .js file.
```
node NewRemoteDocument.js
```

Verification:

Visit the “students” database on CouchDB Server, to verify the document creation.
