//Requiring the package
var PouchDB = require('PouchDB');
//Creating the database object
var db = new PouchDB('http://localhost:5984/employees');
//Preparing the document
doc = {
_id : '001',
name: 'Admin',
age : 28,
designation : 'Developer'
}
//Inserting Document
db.put(doc, function(err, response) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
} else {
console.log("Document created Successfully");

});
- Save the file named as "Create_Remote_Document.js" within a folder name "PouchDB_Examples". Open the command prompt and execute the JavaScript file using node:
