Boilerplate Setup for Cloud9 Parse Development With Express and EJS.

First, run:

$ bash ./parse_installer.sh

It will:

• Fetch and install the latest version of the parse client application
• Create the parse config folder
• Upgrade Python to work with the Parse tools

The folder structure is fairly basic.

+ cloud                 - The Parse Cloud Code application folder  
| + views               - Views for Express  
| | + hello.ejs         - A sample EJS page  
| + app.js              - The Express dispatcher  
| + main.js             - The Parse Cloud Code functions   
+ public                - Static files  
| + favicon.ico         - A sample static file  
+ parse_installer.sh    - The installer tool for Cloud9  
+ README.md             - This file  
+ LICENSE               - The MIT open source license for this repo

After you run the installer the following files and folders will be created:

+ cloud  
| + config              - The Parse Cloud Code CLI configuration folder  
| | + global.json       - Your settings  
| parse                 - The Express dispatcher  
| + main.js             - The Parse Cloud Code CLI client  

Tips

Remove or rename the parse-created index.html file from the public folder in order to run the sample hello.ejs. (Or, alternately, change the route in app.js).

On the Parse Settings page at https://parse.com/apps/[your-application-name]/edit, click on the Webhosting tab and set ParseApp Name to a valid subdomain name.

Test your app by running:

$ ./parse develop [your-application-name]

Then visit the subdomain you selected at http://[subdomain].parseapp.com/.
