CouchDb unhandled 'error' event - Node js - node.js

Question

I'm new to Node and CouchDb and I'm trying to get my hands on it.
I'm struggling to make a piece of code to work.
I would like to create a table users, insert a new user and 'at the same time' getting another user.
I'm getting this error when starting up node app.js :
antoine#ubuntu:~/projects/couchDb$ node app.js
Database users exists.
{"error":"conflict","reason":"Document update conflict."}
Leaving saveDoc
events.js:48
throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: socket hang up
at createHangUpError (http.js:1107:15)
at Socket.onend (http.js:1188:27)
at TCP.onread (net.js:369:26)
And here is my very code, is there something wrong?
(When I remove the getDoc function the error goes away)
I'm using couchDB 1.0.1 and node 0.6.12
The jdoe4 and jdoe documents are already present in the users database.
var dbHost = "127.0.0.1";
var dbPort = 5984;
var dbName = 'users';
var couchdb = require('felix-couchdb');
var client = couchdb.createClient(dbPort, dbHost);
var user = {
name: {
first: 'John',
last: 'Doe'
}
}
var db = client.db(dbName);
db.exists(function(err, exists) {
if (!exists) {
db.create();
console.log('Database ' + dbName + ' created.');
} else {
console.log('Database ' + dbName + ' exists.');
}
db.saveDoc('jdoe4', user, function(err, doc) {
if( err) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
} else {
console.log('Saved user.');
}
console.log('Leaving saveDoc');
});
db.getDoc('jdoe', function(err,doc) {
if( err) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(err));
} else {
console.log(JSON.stringify(doc));
}
console.log('Leaving getDoc');
});
});

Answer 1

It seems to be a library problem => Github Issue Socket Hangout
Look here if you dont know which library fit more your needs.

Answer 2

I quickly realized that felix-couchdb is not compatible with node 8 (I know you're not using version 8, but you will someday), so I switched to nano couchdb and here's the following code:
It will check if the db is created
It will insert only if the key given is unique
It will get the user with a key
var couchdb = require('nano')('http://localhost:5984')
, dbName = 'users'
, db = couchdb.use(dbName)
;
var user = {
name: {
first: 'John',
last: 'Doe'
}
}
couchdb.db.create(dbName, function(err, db_body) {
db.insert(user, 'jdoe4', function(err, doc, header) {
if( err) {
console.log('Cannot save user');
} else {
console.log('Saved user.');
}
console.log('Leaving saveDoc');
});
db.get('jdoe', function(err, doc) {
if( err) {
console.log('Cannot get user');
} else {
console.log(JSON.stringify(doc));
}
console.log('Leaving getDoc');
});
});
One thing worth noting is that, while this will get them at the "same time," it's still making 3 requests to the db, 1 to check if it exists, 1 to insert (or not), 1 to get.
