How to use an existing mongodb with parse #5429
Comments
@dopyoman your question is best suited on StackOverflow, check this current thread #5419 Nevertheless, I will try to answer your question since you seem new to parse-community. Now, to answer your question, yes, but you need to migrate your current data. What you have to do is. Also, parse is written in NodeJs and cloud functions have to be written in NodeJs. To run scripts in python, you can use Aws Lambda functions and invoke them remotely. Please close this ticket as it is not an issue, and it is very unlikely that you will find another answer looking at issues. |
@dopyoman gonna close this out. Feel free to re-open if you think we're missing something and this is an issue with parse-server. |
@georgesjamous Thank you for taking the time to respond. Basically what you are saying is we would have to take each document and migrate it through the parse api for it to work correctly. Again thank you for taking the time to answer. |
If you want to access your documents from the Parse-API, yes you have to migrate your data through the Parse-API. That way parse-server correctly creates the schema for each class/collection. Also, if you have relationships between your existing documents, you have to fix/replace the Ids by the ones created by parse, since parse generates a new id for each object. You can also take advantage of Pointers and Relations available in parse. Everything well documented in the docs. |
Hey is there a way to use Parse with an existing mongodb? Lets say we have a python project that used mongo for the db. Can we put parse in front of the db to create a server web clients can use?
