Function: Keep the Last N User Items
Goal: Keep the last N user notifications seen related to a user ID (these could be any documents).
-
This function keepLastN demonstrates how to keep a user record with the last N activities.
-
Requires Eventing Storage (or metadata collection) and a "source" collection.
-
Needs a Binding of type "bucket alias" (as documented in the Scriptlet).
-
Will operate on any mutation with a key starting with "nu:" of the form "nu:#:#".
-
The key "nu:#:#" contains two numbers. The first # is an increasing notification number, the second # is the user ID.
-
Anytime we insert a new record we want to remove the earliest notification record for the user so we only have at most N records for each user. We assume that nid always increases across time as such we ignore duplicates.
-
For our test we will keep just the three (3) most recent notifications per user ID.
Two variants of this function are available a 6.6 version (this Function) that implements userspace CAS and a 6.6.1+/7.0.0+ version which uses true CAS
keepLastN (userspace CAS)
// To run configure the settings for this Function, keepLastN, as follows:
//
// Version 7.1+
// "Function Scope"
// *.* (or try bulk.data if non-privileged)
// Version 7.0+
// "Listen to Location"
// bulk.data.source
// "Eventing Storage"
// rr100.eventing.metadata
// Binding(s)
// 1. "binding type", "alias name...", "bucket.scope.collection", "Access"
// "bucket alias", "src_col", "bulk.data.source", "read and write"
//
// Version 6.X
// "Source Bucket"
// source
// "MetaData Bucket"
// metadata
// Binding(s)
// 1. "binding type", "alias name...", "bucket", "Access"
// "bucket alias", "src_col", "source", "read and write"
