With this tool, we can help developers learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/resources\/why-nosql\/\">NoSQL<\/a> for free and play with Couchbase and SDKs (the SDK is just one of the features) like Java, NodeJS, .NET, and Python. You can use the instances provided by this service to run against in your own IDE or just use the prived web interface to modify code samples. There is much more and we will cover it all in this article<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We will walk through many examples and try out some code together touring the UI and run the examples code against a live Couchbase Server container. You will not need to install Couchbase locally, and when you start a session on Couchbase Playground it will provide a container that you have access to through the website or from your own IDE.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The examples found on Couchbase Playground utilize our default travel-sample dataset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test-Drive Couchbase Playground Free<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Let&#8217;s first cover the two modes in which the site operates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Session-less mode:<\/strong><br \/>This mode is the default and is always active until you <strong>&#8220;Start a Test-Drive&#8221;<\/strong> and is session-less (in regards to the database). When you hit the \u201c<strong>Run<\/strong>\u201d button underneath any code example, we will spin up a Couchbase instance in the background especially for that one code example, and return any logging into the output window any subsequent \u201c<strong>Run<\/strong>\u201d will be run against a fresh instance. This behavior means that every time you run a code example, no data will be persisted from one execution to the next.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Session mode:<\/strong><br \/>If you would like to ensure data gets persisted from one execution to the next, choose \u201c<strong>Start Test-Drive<\/strong>\u201d and a custom and longer running Couchbase Server instance will be provisioned for your use in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/products\/cloud\/\">cloud<\/a>, you will also receive credentials allowing you to use our web console or to plug into your own code running in your own environment. These credentials are good for 35 mins. This is perfect for demonstrating Couchbase to a friend, co-worker or boss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1656\" height=\"1058\" class=\"wp-image-9949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/start-session.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Start Test-Drive allowing for persistent data in session mode\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session.png 1656w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session-1024x654.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session-1536x981.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session-20x13.png 20w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/start-session-1320x843.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1656px) 100vw, 1656px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Clicking on Start Test-Drive will enable session mode.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We are going to work in session mode, click on and you are ready to start running the existing examples or modifying them to write your own code to run against the instance.

This example will generate the following in the Output Panel:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre><code class=\"language-Bash\">Result: \r\n{\r\n  cas: CbCas { '0': &lt;Buffer 00 00 8b d7 55 19 48 16&gt; },\r\n  content: {\r\n    callsign: 'MILE-AIR',\r\n    country: 'United States',\r\n    iata: 'Q5',\r\n    icao: 'MLA',\r\n    id: 10,\r\n    name: '40-Mile Air',\r\n    type: 'airline'\r\n  }\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As we can see, we have retrieved one document with the key of airline_10, notice that if you change the key on line 20 to something else like: airline_112 and Run again, a new result will show in the Output:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre><code class=\"language-Bash\">Result: \r\n{\r\n  cas: CbCas { '0': &lt;Buffer 00 00 94 d8 55 19 48 16&gt; },\r\n  content: {\r\n    callsign: 'FLYSTAR',\r\n    country: 'United Kingdom',\r\n    iata: '5W',\r\n    icao: 'AEU',\r\n    id: 112,\r\n    name: 'Astraeus',\r\n    type: 'airline'\r\n  }\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So we can update any of the examples with whatever code we want. This creates a nice playground experience to test out samples from the Couchbase documentation. Each category of examples is a different SDK language and has similar examples. This makes it easy to compare each example highlighting a particular operation in each SDK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Below is an example of the \u201c<strong>Sub-document Mutate<\/strong>\u201d which uses both the Lookup and Mutate methods. This example mutates just one portion of a document (country field) and in the same example retrieves that sub-document value after the mutation and prints the new value: &#8220;Canada&#8221; (shown below).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2690\" height=\"1576\" class=\"wp-image-9955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the result of our sub-document mutate code example\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate.png 2690w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-1024x600.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-768x450.png 768w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-1536x900.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-2048x1200.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-20x12.png 20w, https:\/\/www.couchbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/sub-doc-mutate-1320x773.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2690px) 100vw, 2690px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connecting From a Local IDE<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I will show you how to connect to a https:\/\/cloud.couchbase.com\/sign-up session instance from code running on your own machine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To create a local code example on your own machine, I suggest following one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.couchbase.com\/nodejs-sdk\/current\/hello-world\/start-using-sdk.html\">NodeJS Getting Started<\/a> tutorials (or choose one of our other SDK&#8217;s if you like) from there it&#8217;s fairly easy to update your connection using the credentials from <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.couchbase.com\/sign-up\">Couchbase Playground Beta<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Below is how I updated the <code>couchbase.Cluster()<\/code> method to use our Couchbase Playground credentials instead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We need feedback and ideas from users to help us understand how a tool like this could help you.
