###Server-side filters

To define a server-side filter,

Create a file containing the filter definition

{
"_id": "_design/transform_service",
"filters": {
  "exclude_deleted_docs": "function(doc, req) { if(doc._deleted) { return false; }  else { return true; }}",
  "exclude_design_docs": "function(doc, req) { if(doc._id.startsWith('_design/')) { return false; }  else { return true; }}"
},
"language": "javascript"
}

Create the design document in the source database

$curl -X PUT $SOURCE_COUCH_DB_URL$/_design/transform_service --data-binary @sample_filter_design_docs/server_side_filter_design_doc.json
