Querying couchbase by passing parameter - couchbase

Question

I am having couchbase report documents stored in below format:
{
"agree_allowed":true,
"assigned_by":"",
"assigned_to":"",
"closed":[
],
"comments_allowed":true,
"details":"Test",
"email":"",
"status":"In Progress",
"subscribed":{
"user_cfd29b81f0263a380507":true,
"user_cfd29b81f0263a380508":true,
"user_cfd29b81f0263a380509":true,
"user_cfd29b81f0263a3805010":true
},
"summary":"Test",
"time_open":0,
"timestamp":"2015-07-17T15:34:30.864Z",
"type":"report",
"user_id":"user_cfd29b81f0263a380507",
"username":"test17"
}
json contain subscribed filed, it is list of user_id who follow reports.
Problem is i have to emit report document if subscribed field contain user_id, if i pass user_id ='user_cfd29b81f0263a380507' pass as key parameter. i am wondering how can use user_id to compare in view
here is the code i write:-
function map(doc, meta) {
if (doc.type == 'report' && doc.subscribed) {
for (var user_id in doc.subscribed) {
emit(doc.user_id, doc);
}
}
}
but it didn't return expected result.
Can anybody help.

If I understand your question I think you want the ability to query the users who have subscribed.
If that is the case the view code is wrong it is submitting doc.user_id and not user_id, which is the variable you assign values to in the loop but never use. In any case I think it would be better to use a different names to avoid confusion.
function map(doc, meta) {
if (doc.type == 'report' && doc.subscribed) {
for (var subscriber in doc.subscribed) {
emit(subscriber);
}
}
}
To query the users who have subscribed you would use key=user_cfd29b81f0263a380507. The result would be:
{
"total_rows": 4,
"rows": [
{
"id": "docs",
"key": "user_cfd29b81f0263a380507",
"value": null
}
]
}
