Are filters/views engine specific?

[sakkaku]

When I try to boot up my app with the memory store after running fine in couchdb it gives:

/Users/sakkaku/Dropbox/Projects/SecondLife/express/node_modules/resourceful/lib/resourceful/engines/memory.js:128
callback(null, result);
^
TypeError: object is not a function
    at Memory.filter (/Users/sakkaku/Dropbox/Projects/SecondLife/express/node_modules/resourceful/lib/resourceful/engines/memory.js:128:5)
    at Memory.request (/Users/sakkaku/Dropbox/Projects/SecondLife/express/node_modules/resourceful/lib/resourceful/engines/memory.js:59:8)
    at process.startup.processNextTick.process._tickCallback (node.js:244:9)

Of course that is the Memory.prototype.filter function. This fails at the declaration stage and not while executing the filter.

Example filter I have that breaks:

User = resourceful.define 'user', ->
    @string 'name'

    @filter 'getByName', (name) ->
        return name: name

Is there a way to write filters that work in both environments? I found zero documentation on filters so any help would be appreciated.

Also you might want to add documentation on how to add auth to couchdb, I had to scour the source for a few minutes to solve that mystery. This is the method that looked the most 'correct'.

resourceful.use 'couchdb',
    uri: 'http://example.com/'
    auth:
        username: 'user'
        password: 'pass'

I created a PR which implements CouchDB-compatible filtering for the Memory engine: #143

If you need this functionality before the PR is accepted, feel free to use my fork: https://github.com/ssevertson/resourceful - the master branch contains both PR 143, and PR 142 (which resolves view name conflicts in CouchDB design documents). To use, add the following to your package.json:

"resourceful": "git://github.com/ssevertson/resourceful.git#master"
