Ember Data Adapter for parse-server

An Ember Data plugin built to use the Parse REST API. This is a full Ember implementation against the parse-server REST API without the use of the Parse JavaScript SDK.

If you are not familiarized with the new open source project parse-server, you should visit the project page first.

Features

EmberParseAdapter.Serializer

• Provides the translation of objectId to id for identity mapping.
• Provides encoding of hasMany associations to arrays of Parse Pointer objects.

EmberParseAdapter.Adapter

• Implements the persistence layer to parse-server by extending the Ember Data REST Adapter.
• Provides a sessionToken property which can set a session token.

EmberParseAdapter.ParseUser

Is stored at the special user endpoint at parse-server.

• Signup
• Login
• Logout
• Request password reset
• Request current user

EmberParseAdapter.Transforms

• Provides transforms for date, file, object and geo types at parse-server.

Get started

You'll need to run parse-server on your own. After this you will have to provide:

• The url of your parse-server ("http://localhost:1337" is the default value)
• The URL prefix of your Parse API ("parse" is the default value)
• The ID of your application
• The REST API Key of your application (only if you configure parse-server to require it)

You will need these to configure the ParseAdapter via entries in the config/environment.js file:

var ENV = {
  ...

  APP: {
    parseUrl: '<THE URL OF THE PARSE SERVER HERE>',
    parseNamespace: '<THE URL PREFIX OF THE API HERE>',
    applicationId: '<YOUR APP ID HERE>',
    restApiId: '<YOUR REST API KEY HERE>' // (only if you use a Parse.com account)
  }
};

Any model using this adapter will be stored on Parse. Create models as you would normally:

App.Post = DS.Model.extend({
  // Attributes can use normal transforms
  title: DS.attr('string'),
  body: DS.attr('string'),
  rate: DS.attr('number'),
  // Or there are special transforms for some data-types like files
  avatar: DS.attr('parse-file'),
  // There is a parse-date transform, but sometimes dates are just strings
  updatedAt: DS.attr('parse-date'),
  // There is parse-object transform
  properties: DS.attr('parse-object'),
  // ALWAYS refer to relationships as async, for now.
  user: DS.belongsTo('parse-user', {async: true})
});
