file

public abstract String file

Non-trivial views are best stored in a separate files. By specifying the file parameter a view definition can be loaded from the classpath. The path is relative to the class annotated by this annotation. If the file complicated_view.json is in the same directory as the repository this parameter should be set to "complicated_view.json". The file must be a valid json document: { "map": "function(doc) { much javascript here }", // the reduce function is optional "reduce": "function(keys, values) { ... }" }

Returns:

Default:
