SImple reduce function is not working, what is wrong with my reduce function code in couchDB?

Question

i am new to couchDB. I started with simple map/reduce. i dont know why i am not able to receive proper values for the piece of code i attached. thanks in advance !!!

My mapping code as follows:

function(doc){ 
if(doc.release.formats.format.descriptions.description == 'Album'){
doc.release.artists.artist.forEach(function(i){emit(i.name,doc.release.title)})
}
}

My resultant map values key: "Trevor loveys" value:"Era"

My reduce code

 function(keys,values,rereduce)
{
 for(var i=0; i<keys.length();i++)
{
 if(keys[i] == "Trevor Loveys")
 {
  return values;
}
}

Once i have reduced, i am getting answer like

Key:"Trevor loveys" value: null

Update. A sample of my json data is provided below:

}

My intention is to get albums names by the artist "Trevor Loveys"

I used the above method to achieve my aim. however, I am unable to understand why it fails.

Answer 1

key in the reduce function is an array like:

[["some_key","89a85cad58c426cd85a55bac8e0350f8"]]

You can test it by using log(key) in your reduce function.

So your if block fails and no reduce is returned.
