npm-skim-registry

Mcouch for npm registries. The opposite of npm-fullfat-registry.

This moves attachments to the target in manta, but then also deletes them out of the couchdb. It avoids then deleting them out of manta, by specifying a {skip: true} value for each tarball associated with a published version.

This results in deleting attachments that don't belong (except for favicon.ico on the npm doc, which is a special magical snowflake), but keeping attachments in Manta if they are needed for a published version, even as they are removed from couchdb.

You probably don't need this. It's super niche. More likely, if you're even reading this, you want either mcouch or npm-fullfat-registry.

USAGE

Skim({
  client:        multiFSClient,
  source:        myCouchDBUrl,
  sequenceFile:  '.sequence',
  inactivity_ms: 60*60*1000,
  delete:        true
}).on('put', function(doc) {
  console.log('PUT %s', doc._id);
}).on('rm', function(doc) {
  console.log('RM %s', doc._id);
}).on('send', function(doc, file) {
  console.log('-> sent %s/%s', doc._id, filename);
}).on('delete', function(doc, remote) {
  console.log('-> deleted %s/%s', doc._id, remote);
});
