view function on _changes

[Seung Chan Lim]

I noticed here:

http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile/develop/references/couchbase-lite/rest-api/database/get-changes/index.html

that there's a parameter "view" that is supported as part of _changes.

1. What's a right value for it? If the design doc is "_design/utils" and the view function is "by_id" should the value be "utils/by_id" ?

2. How does this work?

Does it call the "map" function of a given view?

3. Can I pass it parameters? If so, how?

If I wanted it to filter the changes by id, could I somehow pass it a list of ids to filter for (i.e. ["id1", "id2"] will only monitor changes for those documents with those ids)

If it's just a map function, then where do I get access to such parameters?

Huh. I think this web page is just copied from the CouchDB API docs; Couchbase Lite and the Sync Gateway don’t support the ‘view’ option, nor a lot of the other options like “last-event-id” or “att_encoding_info”. Sorry about that. We should make sure that the docs correspond to reality. :(
