Beginner help - require('parse-server') without building the repository. #429
Description
Activity
I need the answer to this question too, since parse-server has been updated more frequently than
parse-server-example and is now at build 2.0.8. (rather than 1.0.0)It was pointed out to me to change the
{ "name": "parse-server-example", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "An example Parse API server using the parse-server module", "main": "index.js", ...inside package.son to 2.0.8 and it should work. But i don't think this is the way to do it.+1
I was able to fix this by:
- Going into the node_modules/parse-server directory
- npm install babel-cli -g (not sure if -g is needed, but I didn't try otherwise)
- npm install babel-preset-es2015
- npm run build
My app loaded afterwards.
@MegaEduX Thanks! But unfortunately that method will not work when you deploy your server to heroku/AWS, unless you set it to run that code per build but it would become messy.
You can fork the master branch, build it and commit to your own repo. Then you can checkout from there.
This issue should be fixed in Parse Server 2.1.0. Please open a new issue if you still have problems.
not able to perform execute
node index.js, keeps reporting error thatcan not find module 'parse-server'with version 2.1.3 as well.You'll have to o open another issue and reference this one. I'm still facing the same issue and have to fork the library, run npm install to build the lib folder, and then remove lib from gitignore.
Issue 336 was closed so I decided to open a new one.
I'm somewhat of a beginner with concepts such as
babel. There seems to have been a significant folder structure change in2.0.8which I feel hasn't been made clear in theREADME.md.Using
require('parse-server')results in acannot find moduleerror. Looking into thepackage.json, I see the themainfile points to thelibfolder, which doesn't exist and has been added togitignore. What are the steps we should take to run the server with the latest build?
