ODK Paiute renders json defined forms in a browser and then saves the results to couchdb.

Instructions

You will need couchdb to make it run:

apt-get install couchdb

We need to create a database called "odk". You can create a new database using futon, the handy couchdb GUI by clicking here: futon on localhost, or by running this curl command:

curl -X PUT http://localhost:5984/odk

To get ODK Paiute working you need to put the files in this directory into a couchdb database. You can accomplish this by using the couchapp tool.

apt-get install couchapp

Now we can use couchapp to push the files into your database:

couchapp push

Now you can point your browser at the ODK Paiute:

How does this work?

CouchDB, Backbone.js, JQuery, Underscore.js, Handlebars.js, json, fermented eyebrow sweat, fairy dust.

How is this organized?

All of the backbone models and views have their own file and are in _attachments/app/models and _attachments/app/views. app/app.js is responsible for tying it all together.

You can put json forms into the _docs directory and they will be added to your couch when you do a couchapp push.

Other useful info

It's a pain to run 'couchapp push' everytime you make a change. I wrote a little watchr script that watches for changes to any relevant files and then automatically pushes them into your couch. To get it you need to install rubygems and watchr.

apt-get install rubygems
gem install watchr

Now open a separate terminal, start watchr and just let it watch and push for you.

watchr file.watchr
