+# parse-server-example
+
+Example project using the parse-server module on Express.
+
+### 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
+
+* Clone the repo and change directory to it
+* Use the Heroku Toolbelt to log in and prepare the app
+* Use the MongoLab addon: `heroku addons:create mongolab:sandbox`
+* Use `heroku config` and note the URI provided by MongoLab under the var MONGOLAB_URI 
+* Copy this URI and set it as a new config variable: `heroku config:set DATABASE_URI=mongodb://...`
+* 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`
+
+### 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
+```
+
+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.
