How to insert the records to couchDB in laravel. i have done the retrieval part but now I want to do insert, update and delete .

My retrieval code is below.

class couchdbcontroller extends Controller
{

    public function getdata()
    {           
        $content =null;

        try { 
            $client = new Client();             

            $apiRequest = $client->request('GET','http://localhost:5984/user/_design/userdesign/_view/user-view?limit=20&reduce=false');    

            $code = $apiRequest->getBody()->getContents();

        } catch (RequestException $re) {
            //For handling exception
            return $re->error;
        }

        return $code;
        //return response()->json($code);
    }
}
