parse-develop

Develop your parse powered webapps locally

##Installation

Install globally for availabilty system wide

#####With npm

npm install parse-develop -g

#####From source:

clone the repo in your favorite place:

git clone git://github.com/flovilmart/parse-develop.git
cd parse-develop
npm install -g

That will install the local parse environment wrapper in the parse-develop directory

##Prepare your environment:

export PARSE_JAVASCRIPT_KEY="myJSKey...." export PARSE_MASTER_KEY="mymasterKey...."

###Limitations: As you know, Parse provide hooks (beforeSave, afterSave, beforeDelete, afterDelete) and define functions.

Those functions have to be uploaded to the Parse servers using parse deploy or parse develop.

Updating those functions locally without publishing your code to parse have no effect!

##How to use

From your parse cloud app folder, instead of running parse develop [app name], your can now run parse-develop [app name] or parsedev [app name]

app name is optional

Happy parsing!

##Supported parse-provided cloud modules

• applinks
• mailgun
• mandrill
• sendgrid
• stripe
• parse-image
• twilio

##Custom Configuration

Overriding the default configuration is at your own risks and may render your installation unstable, please use with care!

It is possible to change the behavior of forever monitor through a rc file (we use the rc module).

The appname for rc is parsedev

Visit RC Standards for more informations

All parameters of forever-monitor are available for configuration but some are automatically overriden (otherwise the whole app doesn't work)

The parameters from forever-monitor that can't be changed are:

options, env, sourceDir, watchDirectory

Even if watchDirectory can't be overriden, you can disable watch by setting watch=false

If you set debug=1, that will override the command parameter to node --debug, it has the same effect as command="node --debug"

The default options for are:

{
	// Forever monitor options
	max: 1,
	command: "node",
	spawnWith: {
 		customFds: [-1, -1, -1], // that forever spawns.
  		setsid: false
	},
	watch:true,
	minUptime: 1000,
	spinSleepTime: 500,
	
	// expressjs port
	port: 3000
}
