Parse-server for EAO's Inspection App

For Local Development

  • Make sure you have at least Node 4.3. node --version
  • Clone this repo and change directory to it.
  • npm install
  • Install and run mongo locally
  • 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.

Using it

Before using it, you can access a test page to verify if the basic setup is working fine http://localhost:1337/test. Then 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 on iOS (Swift):

//in your AppDelegate

Parse.initializeWithConfiguration(ParseClientConfiguration(block: { (configuration: ParseMutableClientConfiguration) -> Void in
  configuration.server = "https://<# Your Server URL #>/parse/" // '/' important after 'parse'
  configuration.applicationId = "<# Your APP_ID #>"
}))
