Parse and Heroku Service(3)Parse Server and Parse Dashboard

1 Set Up ENV
Easiest way to start
> npm install -g parse-server

> npm install -g mongodb-runner

> parse-server --appId tester --masterKey tester

Not working on MAC, because of port number?
Unable to listen on port 1337. The port is already in use.

It works using other port.
> parse-server --appId tester --masterKey tester --port=2337
appId: tester
masterKey: ***REDACTED***
port: 2337
mountPath: /parse
maxUploadSize: 20mb
serverURL: http://localhost:2337/parse

parse-server running on http://localhost:2337/parse

Configuration Options
appId, masterKey,
databaseURI - format mongoldb://user:pass@host.com/dbname
port format 2337
serverURL URL to Parse Server, the cloud codes will call these URLs.
cloud - The absolute path to our code main.js file.
push - https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/wiki/Push

Try to store data from REST API.
> curl -X POST \
> -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: tester" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{"score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false}' \
> http://localhost:2337/parse/classes/GameScore

{"objectId":"KHvvrHnXmW","createdAt":"2016-03-21T21:36:52.293Z"}

Once object is created, we can retrieve the object.
> curl -X GET \
> -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: tester" \
> http://localhost:2337/parse/classes/GameScore/KHvvrHnXmW

{"objectId":"KHvvrHnXmW","score":1337,"playerName":"Sean Plott","cheatMode":false,"updatedAt":"2016-03-21T21:36:52.293Z","createdAt":"2016-03-21T21:36:52.293Z"}
