CouchbaseGetBucket

Get a Couchbase bucket instance for bucket-level operations.

Syntax

couchbaseGetBucket(cacheName)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
cacheName	String	Yes	Name of the cache configuration

Returns

Returns the Couchbase Bucket instance with access to:

• Scope management

• Collection access

• Bucket statistics

• Ping operations

• View queries (legacy)

Examples

Basic Usage

// Get bucket instance
bucket = couchbaseGetBucket("default");

// Get bucket name
println("Bucket name: #bucket.name()#");

Access Collections

bucket = couchbaseGetBucket("default");

// Get default scope and collection
scope = bucket.defaultScope();
collection = scope.defaultCollection();

// Or get specific scope/collection
customScope = bucket.scope("myapp");
customCollection = customScope.collection("users");

Bucket Operations

bucket = couchbaseGetBucket("default");

// Ping bucket health
pingResult = bucket.ping();
println("Bucket status: #pingResult.version()#");

// Get collections
allScopes = bucket.collections();

Multiple Buckets

// Different buckets for different data
usersBucket = couchbaseGetBucket("users-cache");
sessionsBucket = couchbaseGetBucket("sessions-cache");
vectorsBucket = couchbaseGetBucket("vectors-cache");

// Access their collections independently
usersCollection = usersBucket.defaultScope().defaultCollection();
sessionsCollection = sessionsBucket.defaultScope().defaultCollection();
vectorsCollection = vectorsBucket.defaultScope().defaultCollection();

Bucket Statistics

bucket = couchbaseGetBucket("default");

// Get bucket info (requires cluster admin)
cluster = couchbaseGetCluster("default");
bucketManager = cluster.buckets();
bucketSettings = bucketManager.getBucket(bucket.name());

println("RAM quota: #bucketSettings.ramQuota()# MB");
println("Replica count: #bucketSettings.numReplicas()#");

Notes

• Bucket name is determined by cache configuration

• Bucket instance is cached and reused

• Use couchbaseGetCollection() for direct collection access

• Most operations should use collection-level access

• Bucket-level access is useful for management and statistics
