I have a Json file as such :
{
"_id":"03f8dcb28c93ec4b6c39d6bdf45bcf57",
"api_rev":"1.0",
"type":"router"
}
The _id identifies a particular entity thus, i will not like to go for the auto generated one. When i push to couchdb i get :
{"error":"POST uses auto generated id"}
How may i force the id i provide as the actual id without using the auto generated type ?
You can do a PUT request instead to create the document with PUT /database/03f8dcb28c93ec4b6c39d6bdf45bcf57
and have the body as:
{
"api_rev":"1.0",
"type":"router"
}
That will create a new document with that id.
