Document structure returned by include_docs couchbase

Question

I have an Ember app that is interfacing with Couchbase Lite via ember-couchdb-kit.

I would like to run it on a desktop. I have used CouchDB successfully in the past, but want to migrate to Couchbase Server to better control data access.

Ember-couch-kit relies on an all view to return elements of a particular type. For example, my app has habits, the url used for loading those is:

/db/_design/habit/_view/all?include_docs=true&key="habit"

The map function looks like:

function( doc ) { emit( doc.type, null ) }

As best I can tell, CouchDB and Couchbase Lite return a result of the form:

{
  "total_rows":19,
  "offset":0,
  "rows":[
    {
      "id":"ce236fe89785d8190abc37e01c001087",
      "key":"habit",
      "value":null,
      "doc":{
        "_id":"ce236fe89785d8190abc37e01c001087",
        "_rev":"5-1a6274e9f8020e03277f764fd3fb6bba",
        "type":"habit",
        "name":"Test",
        "color":"#000000",
        "events":["ce236fe89785d8190abc37e01c00267d",…]
      }
    },
    ⋮

Couchbase Server, on the other hand, returns a document of the form:

{
  "total_rows":1541,
  "rows":[
    {
      "id":"habit:150mg buoropion",
      "key":"habit",
      "value":null,
      "doc":{
        "meta":{
          "id":"habit:150mg buoropion",
          "rev":"1-00000700e0f3239a0000000000000000",
          "expiration":0,
          "flags":0
        },
        "json":{
          "type":"habit",
          "name":"150mg Buoropion",
          "color":"#D4A475"
        }
      }
    },
    ⋮

Is there way to use Sync Gateway to get a compatible view? Currently, I am working around it currently by returning the document as the value from the map.

In your server view you should emit the data you need as the second parameter and do a query on the first parameter(s)

function (doc, meta) { 
    emit(meta.id, [ "name": doc.name,"color": doc.color ] );
}

view paramerters;
startkey = 'habit:150mg buoropion'
endkey = 'habit:150mg buoropion' + '\uefff'
