What is the best way to wrap PouchDB?

[Alexander Harm]

Hello,

I would like to wrap PouchDB in order to treat 401s separately. I had something like this in mind:

export class MyPouch extends PouchDB {

  constructor (name: string, options: any) {

   super(name, options)

 }

 

 // wrapping get

 get (id: string): any {

   

   return super

   .get(id)

   .catch((err) => {

     if (err.status === 401) {

       // do something else

     }

     return Promise.reject(err)

   })

   

 }

}

While this works more or less during normal operations replication fails. I guess PouchDB treats the errors it receives when checking for checkpoints in a specific way. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Alexander

There isn't really an easy way to do this. If you're feeling adventurous, you can look at the code in https://github.com/nolanlawson/transform-pouch and see if you can borrow any of it to try to do what you want.

The best solution in this case may be a proxy on the server to transform your requests as needed.

Cheers,
Nolan
