WARNING: beta

Usage

• npm install parse-server-grapesjs --save

    var app = process.app = express()
	const cfg = {
		databaseURI: DatabaseURI,
		appId: AppId,
		restAPIKey: RestAPIKey,
		fileKey: MyFileKey,
		javascriptKey: process.env.KEY_JS || 'test',

		....

		port: PORT, 
		options: { 
			filesSubDirectory: 'data/files' , 
		}
	}
    
+++ require('parse-server-grapesjs')({
+++ 	[cfg],                       // multiple apps! 
+++ 	app,  
+++ 	Parse: require('parse/node'), 
+++ 	express: require('express')
+++ })
    ...

Profit! now surf to 'http://localhost:8081/design/{appId}'

It will automatically create a Template-parseClass and save templates to it. This plugin is (intentionally) not writing HTML-files to a public folder. This makes it usable for many types of parse setups:

• save to database and/or html-file (to host frontend on the parse-server)
• save to database and fetch from a github/gitlab CI-worker to host it on a GH/GL page.
• save to database and run a Parse-JOB or webhook whenever a template is updated

I want to run a different url / grapesjs-version of the grapesjs

You can use the shipped version as a starting-point:

$ npm install parse-server-grapesjs --save
$ cp -r node_modules/parse-server-grapesjs/html myhtml

now pass the extra init option:

    var app = process.app = express()
    
+++  require('parse-server-grapesjs')({
+++    ...
!!!      path: '/myeditor', 
!!!    	 grapesjs_html: __dirname+'/myhtml', 

         ...

Important

By default there are no permissions installed (anyone can create/read/delete templates). Make sure you setup Class-based permissions for the Template-class to restrict this.

Thoughts / future

If you're using a multiple-parse-app-in-one-setup, I think you definately want to setup gitlab/github pages, and have CI fetch the templates (and write them as .html-files). Just think about it, the Parse Javascript-API is so flexible, hosting the HTML elsewhere is much better serverload / bandwidth wise.
