### For Local Development

* Make sure you have at least Node 4.1. `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](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.png)](https://heroku.com/deploy)

#### Without It

* Clone the repo and change directory to it

* Log in with the [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/) and create an app: `heroku create`

* Use the [MongoLab addon](https://elements.heroku.com/addons/mongolab): `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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-install.html), 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=,APP_ID=,MASTER_KEY=`

### Getting Started With Microsoft Azure App Service

#### With the Deploy to Azure Button

[![Deploy to Azure](http://azuredeploy.net/deploybutton.png)](https://azuredeploy.net/)

#### Without It

A detailed tutorial is available here:

[Azure welcomes Parse developers](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-welcomes-parse-developers/)

### Getting Started With Scalingo

#### With the Scalingo button

[![Deploy to Scalingo](https://cdn.scalingo.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://my.scalingo.com/deploy)

#### Without it

* Clone the repo and change directory to it

* Log in with the [Scalingo CLI](http://cli.scalingo.com/) and create an app: `scalingo create my-parse`

* Use the [Scalingo MongoDB addon](https://scalingo.com/addons/scalingo-mongodb): `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); });

```

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.
