platformsh / example-parseit

An example Parse application to help refugees migrate

Minimalistic Example Parse.com Configuration for Platform.sh

Parse retired their service .. and people will need to find alternate methods to host their code (while probably migrating to some other service).

Platform.sh has everything that is needed to run a Parse server (unlike other providers you don't need an external service for MongoDB).

Starting a new project

To start a new project based on this template, follow these 3 simple steps:

1. Clone this repository locally. You may optionally remove the origin remote or remove the .git directory and re-init the project if you want a clean history.

2. Create a new project through the Platform.sh user interface and select "Import an existing project" when prompted.

3. Run the provided Git commands to add a Platform.sh remote and push the code to the Platform.sh repository.

That's it! You now have a working "hello world" level project you can build on.

Using as a reference

You can also use this repository as a reference for your own projects, and borrow whatever code is needed. The most important parts are the .platform.app.yaml file and the .platform directory.

Configuration

Configuration (assuming you have the platform.sh CLI installed):

platform variable:set env:APP_ID this_is_my_app_id platform variable:set env:MASTER_KEY this_is_my_master_key

To test:

curl -X POST \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: this_is_my_app_id" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \
http://master-7rqtwti-{yourproject-id}.{platform-shregion}}.platformsh.site/parse/classes/GameScore

You should change of course the values to match yours, most importantly the url .. http://master-7rqtwti-{yourproject-id}.{platform-shregion}}.platformsh.site
