Client side validation functions

Is this possible? For an offline-first app it seems you'd want to be able to pass your design doc directly to this plugin. Otherwise you require syncing with couchdb to ensure validations are ok.

Second question, is this maintained? I notice tons of greenkeeper PR's and no activity for a while.

It should currently work as it's used in express-pouchdb, but I'm indeed neglecting greenkeeper. Any 'real' PRs will be merged, though.

pouchdb-validation does offline validation, so your use case of creating an offline design document should work just fine. Just db.put() the design doc, and then use the validation functions. It's just nicer to sync them from the server as that way you can be sure the server and client use the same checks. But it's not required.
