Using multiple buckets

Ottoman’s bucket is initialized through a property (which seems odd, using a function or a constructor make more sense).

var ottoman = require('ottoman');
var couchbase = require('couchbase');
var cluster = new couchbase.Cluster('couchbase://127.0.0.1');
ottoman.bucket = cluster.openBucket('default');

But, the important point here is: is there a way to change this bucket over time? It does not seems possible to create multiple ottoman instance, because the require('ottoman') is a already a constructor.

Some models will lies in a specific bucket and other models in another bucket.

So, how to use multiple buckets? Is Ottoman limited to one bucket for the time being?

Thanks.

Hey Guys, You can create as many Ottoman instances as you desire, they just won’t be directly accessible. For convenience, the Ottoman.js module returns a already-constructed Ottoman object, but you can create more, here is an example:

var ottoman = require('ottoman');
var ottoman2 = new ottoman.Ottoman();
var ottoman3 = new ottoman.Ottoman();
ottoman.store = ...;
ottoman2.store = ...;
ottoman3.store = ...;

P.S. Using multiple discreet Ottoman instances means that you are not able to reference between different models on different Ottoman instances. This is because the top-level Ottoman objects each maintain their own list of model data.

Cheers, Brett

@kivervinicius see my comment earlier in this thread, you need to pass the bucket to the model via a store adapter, not to the ottoman instances.
