unparse-dashboard

A dashboard for Unparse.

What is it?

Usually, web apps follow a 3-tier structure: a database is managed from a web server, which talks with the web browser. But setting up a dynamic web server and a database is often complicated and boring: it is almost always the same models and API endpoints which are set up.

Parse tries to solve this problem by removing the dynamic web server and replacing it by a static web server. The database is directly managed from the browser. Thus, it's a lot more easier to build and host a web app.

But Parse is not open-source. Unparse is an open-source clone of Parse which can be installed on your server. As it behaves like Parse, Parse SDKs can be used.

Use cases:

• You want to build a web app without worrying about the backend
• You have written a Parse app and you want to stop using Parse

For more information, see Parse website.

Installation

First, clone this repo and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/unparse/unparse-dashboard.git
cd unparse-dashboard
npm install

Then, init the database:

npm run init

This will add default classes and objects. A root user will be created.

You can now start the server:

npm run start

Configuration

You can edit config.json to change Unparse config.
