Is there any way to search in sync-gateway in walrus mode?

Mobile Sync Gateway

This question is out of curiosity. I know walrus mode is only for testing and development,
I configured testing teams sync server in walrus mode and without any couch server now would like to do a search in the sync server system, I have access to sever but no way to search using a mobile device. So is there any way to search in sync-gateway in walrus mode?

OK. That’s important ! Also note that walrus isn’t functionally equivalent to the non-walrus mode …its just a quick way to do some dev tests without having to spin up a server

So is there any way to search in sync-gateway in walrus mode?

Did you try the sync gateway REST API ?

Thanks Piya ,
I was not aware of using rest API with couch server, I though it got deprecated after in version 2. Will try , can you share any link or docs that I can follow,I will check in docs and try to implement.

Your question is on walrus mode. There is no Couchbase server there. You can query for documents via the Sync Gateway REST API

Will try , can you share any link or docs that I can follow,I will check in docs and try to implement.

hmmm…Implement what? I thought you were only curious about this mode. As indicated in our documentation , this mode is deprecated and was only intended for dev/demo purposes. You must always configure your system with Couchbase server if you are looking to do any real worlddevelopment.

Thanks Again,

Implement a way to clear test data remotely, Restarting the sync gateway clear data but reloads from the mobile device when connected .

Yes, madam, I read that in the document and understand.

Thanks again for the links

Since you indicated that sync gateway clears data on restart, I am assuming that you are on walrus mode here. If your intention is to reset the databases, then you must delete the database on client and re-create it on startup. Then on restarting the sync gateway, there wouldn’t be documents to sync. The Sync Gateway REST API wouldn’t help if you are not interested in re-syncing the data from the clients on launch.
