Here I am going through the simple steps to demonstrate how
to access parse DB from
your node application.
To know more about parse db please visit www.parse.com
If you have your node based web app ready, you can include
parse db in your app in two ways
1. Java Script.
Step 1: Include parse script as a bower_component. Use below
command for this.
bower install
parse
Step 2: Create a test class in parse db.
Register in
parse.com and create a sample test app db with some columns.
After creation
of your tables, get the keys for external use from settings page.
Step 3: Initialize parse.
Parse.initialize('application id','Java script key');
Step 4: Querying the parse db from script
Here I am
going to query the data from Test class in below function
$scope.getLocation = function(val) {
var locations=[];
var Etest =
Parse.Object.extend("Your class name from parse DB");
var query = new
Parse.Query(Etest);
//add filters in your query
query.startsWith("name", val.toLowerCase());
//querying
return query.find({
success:
function(results) {
},
error:
function(error) {
alert("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
}
}).then(function(results){
//returning the results to front end
for (var i = 0;
i < results.length; i++) {
var object = results[i];
locations.push(object.get('name')
}
return
locations;
});
2. As an $http Rest request.
For accessing the
parse db as a rest api request , we don't need to use parse script.
Step 1:We need to add below information to request header.
$http.defaults.headers.common['X-Parse-Application-Id']
='Application Id';
$http.defaults.headers.common['X-Parse-REST-API-Key']
='Rest Api Key';
Step 2: Accessing from your java script function.
We need to pass $htttp to your controller script
$scope.data = {};
$http.get('https://api.parse.com/1/classes/etest')
.success(function
(data){
$scope.data.test
=data.results;
console.log('data'+$scope.data.test);
})
.error(function
(response){
$scope.data.error = response.error || response;
});
