API

couchdb-seed-design(db, design, cb)

• db (object, required) - nano (or compatible) database object
• design (object, required) - design object
• cb (function, optional) - callback

Creates a set of CouchDB design documents basing on design object. Each key in design object becomes a separate design document called ('_design/' + key).

If no changes between remote design documents and design object are detected, no updates are sent to CouchDB.
