View Cleanup

{% include anchor.html edit="true" title="View cleanup" hash="view_cleanup" %} {% highlight "js" %} db.viewCleanup([callback]) {% endhighlight %} Cleans up any stale map/reduce indexes. As design docs are deleted or modified, their associated index files (in CouchDB) or companion databases (in local PouchDBs) continue to take up space on disk. viewCleanup() removes these unnecessary index files. See the CouchDB documentation on view cleanup for details. #### Example Usage: {% include code/start.html id="viewcleanup" type="callback" %} {% highlight "js" %} db.viewCleanup(function (err, result) { if (err) { return console.log(err); } // handle result }); {% endhighlight %} {% include code/end.html %} {% include code/start.html id="viewcleanup" type="async" %} {% highlight "js" %} try { const result = await db.viewCleanup(); } catch (err) { console.log(err); } {% endhighlight %} {% include code/end.html %} {% include code/start.html id="viewcleanup" type="promise" %} {% highlight "js" %} db.viewCleanup().then(function (result) { // handle result }).catch(function (err) { console.log(err); }); {% endhighlight %} {% include code/end.html %} #### Example Response: {% highlight "js" %} { "ok" : "true" } {% endhighlight %}
