Using Couchbase Shell to Transform and Write Data
The author attended the Riviera Dev conference, sponsored by Couchbase, where they brought organic goat milk ice cream. The author collected VCards from attendees and tried to manipulate them using Couchbase Shell, a modern shell for Couchbase Server and Capella. The author installed Couchbase Shell, which is written in Rust, and used it to transform the VCard data into JSON format using the `vcard-json` library. The author then used Couchbase Shell's features such as `from json`, `where`, and `select` to manipulate the data further. Finally, the author wrote the transformed data to a CSV file and inserted it into Couchbase using the `cb-env` command. The author demonstrated how to use Couchbase Shell to manipulate data, transform it, and import it into Couchbase, showcasing its versatility.
