CRUD requires jquery.deepjson.js to work so it should be included

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.deepjson.js"></script>

Then you can assign whatever's in crud.json to a variable or you can put crud.json into your evently directory and let couchapp push it to your application.

Simplest way to use it is

$.couch.app(function(app) {
  $('#form').evently(app.ddoc.evently.crud, app);
}

If you want to put some lifecycle methods around (you usually need)

$.couch.app(function(app) {
  $('#form').evently($.extend({}, app.ddoc.evently.crud, {
    postconstruct: function(e){
      // after form readies itself for editing
      // may show form or delete buttons here
    },
    predestroy: function(e) {
      // triggers on object deletion only
      // useful to hide form
    }
  }), app);
}

Then you can add function to your controls like

$('.items a').click(function(e){
    // edit item, doc id presumed set to id attr of a
    $('#form').trigger('activate',$(this).attr('id'));
});
$('button.new').click(function(e){
    // ready form for a new item
    $('#form').trigger('activate', 'new');
});
$('button.save').click(function(e){
    // save the form
    $('#form').submit();
});
$('button.delete').click(function(e){
    // delete the item set in form
    $('#form').trigger('removeitem');
});

It is possible to use $$('#form').ldoc to access the doc itself.
