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 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 Heroku + Mongolab Development

With the Heroku Button

Deploy

Without It

  • Clone the repo and change directory to it
  • Log in with the Heroku Toolbelt and create an app: heroku create
  • Use the MongoLab addon: heroku addons:create mongolab:sandbox
  • By default it will use a path of /parse for the API routes. To change this, or use older client SDKs, run heroku config:set PARSE_MOUNT=/1
  • Deploy it with: git push heroku master

Getting Started With AWS Elastic Beanstalk

With the Deploy to AWS Button

Without It

  • Clone the repo and change directory to it
  • Log in with the AWS Elastic Beanstalk CLI, select a region, and create an app: eb init
  • Create an environment and pass in MongoDB URI, App ID, and Master Key: eb create --envvars DATABASE_URI=<replace with URI>,APP_ID=<replace with Parse app ID>,MASTER_KEY=<replace with Parse master key>

Getting Started With Microsoft Azure App Service

With the Deploy to Azure Button

Deploy to Azure

Without It

A detailed tutorial is available here: Azure welcomes Parse developers

Getting Started With Google App Engine

  1. Clone the repo and change directory to it
  2. Create a project in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
  3. Enable billing for your project.
  4. Install the Google Cloud SDK.
  5. Setup a MongoDB server. You have a few options:
  6. Create a Google Compute Engine virtual machine with MongoDB pre-installed.
  7. Use MongoLab to create a free MongoDB deployment on Google Cloud Platform.
  8. Modify app.yaml to update your environment variables.
  9. Delete Dockerfile
  10. Deploy it with gcloud preview app deploy

Getting Started With Scalingo

With the Scalingo button

Deploy to Scalingo

Without it

  • Clone the repo and change directory to it
  • Log in with the Scalingo CLI and create an app: scalingo create my-parse
  • Use the Scalingo MongoDB addon: scalingo addons-add scalingo-mongodb free
  • Setup MongoDB connection string: scalingo env-set DATABASE_URI='$SCALINGO_MONGO_URL'
  • By default it will use a path of /parse for the API routes. To change this, or use older client SDKs, run scalingo env-set PARSE_MOUNT=/1
  • Deploy it with: git push scalingo master

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); });

Example using it on Android:

//in your application class

Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
        .applicationId("myAppId")
        .clientKey("myClientKey")
        .server("http://myServerUrl/parse/")   // '/' important after 'parse'
        .build());
        
  ParseObject testObject = new ParseObject("TestObject");
  testObject.put("foo", "bar");
  testObject.saveInBackground();

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.
