Azure parse-server-example

Example project using the parse-server module on Express.

Read the full server guide here: https://parse.com/docs/server/guide

Deploy to Azure

For Local Development

  • Clone this repo and change directory to it.
  • npm install
  • Install mongo locally using http://docs.mongodb.org/master/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
  • Run mongo to connect to your database, just to make sure it's working. Once you see a mongo prompt, exit with Control-D
  • Run the server with: npm start
  • By default it will use a path of /parse for the API routes. To change this, or use older client SDKs, run export PARSE_MOUNT=/1 before launching the server.
  • You now have a database named "dev" that contains your Parse data
  • Install ngrok and you can test with devices

Getting Started With Azure App Service + Mongolab Development

A detailed guide on how to create a site and deploy the Parse server is provided here: [URL]

Using it

You can use the REST API, the JavaScript SDK, and any of our open-source SDKs:

Example request to a server running locally:

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: myAppId" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \
  http://localhost:1337/parse/classes/GameScore
  
curl -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: myAppId" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}' \
  http://localhost:1337/parse/functions/hello

Example using it via JavaScript:

Parse.initialize('myAppId','unused');
Parse.serverURL = 'https://whatever.herokuapp.com';
var obj = new Parse.Object('GameScore');
obj.set('score',1337);
obj.save().then(function(obj) {
  console.log(obj.toJSON());
  var query = new Parse.Query('GameScore');
  query.get(obj.id).then(function(objAgain) {
    console.log(objAgain.toJSON());
  }, function(err) {console.log(err); });
}, function(err) { console.log(err); });

You can change the server URL in all of the open-source SDKs, but we're releasing new builds which provide initialization time configuration of this property.
