Summary

The article provides a comprehensive overview of using Ottoman, an object document mapper (ODM) for Couchbase, as an alternative to Mongoose for MongoDB, highlighting its ease of use in performing CRUD operations with Node.js. Ottoman simplifies database interactions by allowing developers to define object models with properties and methods, automatically handling boilerplate logic. The article includes examples of setting up Ottoman in a Node.js project, defining and using models, executing custom methods, and performing various database operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting documents. Through these examples, it demonstrates how Ottoman offers a user-friendly approach to working with Couchbase, comparable to Mongoose's functionality for MongoDB, and emphasizes its potential to streamline development processes.
