Downloading and setting up Parse Server
To download Parse server files, use the following command-
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server-example.git
The sample output should be like this –
Cloning into 'parse-server-example'... remote: Counting objects: 312, done. remote: Total 312 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 312 Receiving objects: 100% (312/312), 77.77 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (144/144), done. Checking connectivity... done.
To enter into parse-server-example directory, use the following command –
$ cd parse-server-example
use npm, to install parse-server as shown below –
/parse-server-example$ sudo npm install
The sample output should be like this –
parse-server-example@1.4.0 /opt/parse-server-example +-- express@4.11.2 | +-- accepts@1.2.13 | | +-- mime-types@2.1.13 | | | `-- mime-db@1.25.0 | | `-- negotiator@0.5.3 | +-- content-disposition@0.5.0 | +-- cookie@0.1.2 | +-- cookie-signature@1.0.5 | +-- debug@2.1.3 | | `-- ms@0.7.0 | +-- depd@1.0.1 | +-- escape-html@1.0.1 | +-- etag@1.5.1 | | `-- crc@3.2.1 | +-- finalhandler@0.3.3 | +-- fresh@0.2.4 | +-- media-typer@0.3.0 | +-- merge-descriptors@0.0.2 | +-- methods@1.1.2 | +-- on-finished@2.2.1 | | `-- ee-first@1.1.0 | +-- parseurl@1.3.1 | +-- path-to-regexp@0.1.3 ..............................................................................
Now open index.js file to add APP_ID and MASTER_KEY shown below –
$ sudo nano index.js
Use any random string for APP_ID and MASTER_KEY as shown below-
var api = new ParseServer({
databaseURI: databaseUri || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/dev',
cloud: process.env.CLOUD_CODE_MAIN || __dirname + '/cloud/main.js',
appId: process.env.APP_ID || 'tutorialspointsample',
masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || 'samplecreatedbysairam', //Add your mast$
serverURL: process.env.SERVER_URL || 'http://localhost:1337/parse', // Don't$
liveQuery: {
classNames: ["Posts", "Comments"] // List of classes to support for query s$
}
});
Now save and close the file.To start parse server, use the following command –
$ sudo npm start
The sample output should be like this –
> parse-server-example@1.4.0 start /opt/parse-server-example > node index.js DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost. parse-server-example running on port 1337. info: Parse LiveQuery Server starts running ....................................................................
