pouchdb-find - how get total number of items that pass selector

[Roman Viskin]

There are different approaches to get total number of items throughout PouchDB APIs.

When calling db.allDocs() one can find out total number of items with total_rows.

When calling db.query() with mapreduce and a view, _count reduction can be used.

But how do I get total number of items when calling db.find() of beta pouchdb-find API?

In my case, I want to use some selector, implement paging with 'limit' and 'skip' options, and with another call to retrieve the number of items that pass the selector, so I can implement paging navigation.

If somebody except me uses Kendo UI, I implemented an adapter between kendo find/sort syntax and pouchdb-find's one.

Here it it (starting from v.0.0.10): https://github.com/terikon/kendo-pouchdb. It enables cool kendo controls on top of PouchDB.

Documentation is still TODO, but in short it works in two modes - mapreduce and pouchdb-find. In mapreduce mode only limited set of filter/sorting combinations are supported for kendo's datasource, and in pouchdb-find mode everything that can be executed by db.find() is possible.

The only big thing that left to implement is to figure out the total number of items in pouchdb-find mode. And write documentation :)
