For Local Development

• windows install npm install --global windows-build-tools
• cp .envexample .env
• 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

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 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); });
