React Parse
React Parse is a set of actions and saga watchers that make your life easy to Get, POST, PUT, DELETE data on the server, you can fetch the data with our selectors from your redux store.
React Parse include 3 data provider components, to make the life even easier and let you get a collection from the server in less than 1 minute with the ability to filter result, create a new document and more...
Helpful only for react and react-native apps with parse server and redux as management

Installation
How to install
Install with NPM:
npm i react-parse --save
1 - Inside your root component:
Set react-parse inside your root component:
import { config as reactParseConfig, setReactParseDispatch } from 'react-parse'
const apiConfig = { baseURL: envConfig.SERVER_URL, appId: envConfig.PARSE_ID }
reactParseConfig.init(apiConfig);
setReactParseDispatch(store.dispatch);
After the user logs in - set the user's token:
reactParseConfig.setSessionToken('userSessionToken')
After the user logs out - clear the token:
reactParseConfig.removeSessionToken()
2 - With Redux - add parseReducer to your your rootReducer
import { parseReducer } from 'react-parse';
const rootReducers = combineReducers({
....,
parse: parseReducer,
});
3 - With Redux-Saga, add parseWatcher to your root saga
import { parseWatcher } from 'react-parse'
function* rootSaga() {
yield all([
...,
call(parseWatcher, 'parseWatcher'),
]);
}
Now let see how you can fetch your products without writing any new action, reducer, saga worker..
Examples
FetchCollectionExample
Fetch collection data with data provider component
import {FetchCollection} from 'react-parse'
const TARGET_NAME = 'activeProducts'
class ReactParseExample extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<FetchCollection
schemaName={'Product'}
targetName={TARGET_NAME}
query={{isActive: true}}
userName='Dan'
render={(props) => <MyTable {...props}/>}
/>
)
}
}
We can do the same thing with react-parse actions
CollectionActionsExample
Get Products from server by using collections actions and selectors
import { selectors, actions} from 'react-parse';
const TARGET_NAME = 'ProductList'
class ReactParseExample extends React.Component {
componentWillMount() {
actions.collectionActions.fetchData({ targetName: TARGET_NAME , schemaName: 'Product' });
}
render() {
const { products, isLoading} = this.props;
return (<div....);
} }
const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
return {
products: selectors.selectCollectionData(state, TARGET_NAME ),
isLoading: selectors.selectCollectionLoading(state, TARGET_NAME ),
};
}
Actions
How to use
import actions from react-parse
import { collectionActions, cloudCodeActions, documentActions } from 'react-parse';
inside your component you can call an action like that:
documentActions.fetchData({....})
all the action are wrapped with dispatch then you didn't need to bind a dispatch to call an action.
If you want to use:
- Call the action with dispatch
- Use bindActionCreators
- Put an action from saga
You need to use action without our dispatch wrapper.
for this, you need the call action with prefix pure_
For example-
import { put, select } from 'redux-saga/effects';
import { documentActions } from 'react-parse';
export default function* fetchMember() {
yield put(documentActions.pure_fetchData({...}));
}

dataProviders
Data provider components.
Seamlessly bring Parse data into your Component with the ability to POST, PUT, DELETE from your component without connecting your component to store or run any action. all is in your props
FetchProps
Data provider component will render you component with all the props you pass to the dataComponent and with fetchProps object.
fetchProps include :
- data - response from the server
- error - error object from query
- status - one of the enum
- info - info about your query {timestamp, query,skip,limit,objectId, ...}
- isLoading- boolean value
- refresh - method, run to refresh data
- cleanData - method, run to clean data from store
- put- method, run to update the document
- from FetchCollection => fetchProps.put('DOC_OBJECT_ID',{title: 'newTitle', body: 'newBody'},filesIncluded, fileValueHandler, dispatchId)
- from FetchDocument => fetchProps.put({title: 'newTitle', body: 'newBody'},filesIncluded, fileValueHandler, dispatchId, boomerang)
- post- method, run to create document,
- from FetchCollection => fetchProps.post('DOC_OBJECT_ID',{title: 'newTitle', body: 'newBody'},filesIncluded, fileValueHandler, dispatchId, boomerang)
- from FetchDocument => fetchProps.post({title: 'newTitle', body: 'newBody'},filesIncluded, fileValueHandler, dispatchId, boomerang)
- deleteDoc- method, run to delete document,
- from FetchCollection => fetchProps.deleteDoc('DOC_OBJECT_ID', dispatchId, boomerang)
- from FetchDocument => fetchProps.deleteDoc(, dispatchId)
- updateField - method on FetchDocument to update filed in store
- fetchProps.updateField('title', 'new Title)
FetchDocument:
With FetchDocument you can get specific document by collection name and objectId
import {FetchDocument} from 'react-parse'
....
<FetchDocument
schemaName='Post'
targetName='LastPost'
objectId='blDxFXA9Wk'
component={MyComponent}
keys='title,body,owner'
include='Owner'
onFetchEnd={({error, status, data, info })=>{}}
onPostEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
onPutEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
onDeleteEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
leaveClean={true}
localFirst={false}
localOnly={false}
autoRefresh={false}
dataHandler={data => data}
initialValue={{title: 'default title'}}
userName='Dan'
/>
- if the objectId is empty then use updateField and we save your inputs in the store, then you can use post method from your component and new doc will create for you in the server, the new doc id will be inside info
FetchCollection:
With FetchCollection you can get list of document by collection name
import {FetchCollection} from 'react-parse'
....
<FetchCollection
schemaName='Post'
targetName='LastPost'
component={MyComponent}
keys=''
include=''
onFetchEnd={({error, status, data, info })=>{}}
onPostEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
onPutEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
onDeleteEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
leaveClean={true}
localFirst={false}
localOnly={false}
autoRefresh={false}
query={object}
order=''
skip={12}
limit={50}
enableCount={true}
dataHandler={data => data}
userName='Dan'
/>
FetchCloudCode:
With FetchCloudCode you can get list of document by collection name
import {FetchCloudCode} from 'react-parse'
....
<FetchCloudCode
functionName='GetPosts'
params={object}
targetName='GetPostsCloud'
component={MyComponent}
onFetchEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
leaveClean={true}
localFirst={false}
localOnly={false}
dataHandler={data => data}
userName='Dan'
/>
State
View to Your redux store:
we use immutable-js and reselect
parse:{
collections: {
myProducts: {
status: 'FETCH_FINISHED',
error: null,
loading: false,
data: [....],
info: {
schemaName : '',
query: {...},
skip: 0,
enableCount: false,
keys,
include,
order,
limit,
count,
timestamp
}
}
},
documents: {...},
cloudCodes: {...}
}
Enum:
import {constants} from 'react-parse'
// FETCH
'FETCH_START','FETCH_FAILED','FETCH_FAILED_NETWORK','FETCH_FINISHED'
// POST
'POST_START','POST_FAILED','POST_FAILED_NETWORK','POST_FINISHED'
// DELETE
'DELETE_START','DELETE_FAILED','DELETE_FAILED_NETWORK','DELETE_FINISHED'
// PUT
'PUT_START','PUT_FAILED','PUT_FAILED_NETWORK','PUT_FINISHED'
Logger
First set the callbacks with setLoggerHandlers
in each query your call back will run with => (type, action, status)
- type - one of ['CLOUD_CODE', 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE']
- action- action object , you can use action.logger to custom call back behavior
- status - one of react-parse status, you can find them in status enum
import {setLoggerHandlers} from 'react-parse'
setLoggerHandlers({
onSuccess: (type, action, status) => {
console.log('Send notification or something else:', type, action, status)
},
onError: (type, action, status) => {
console.log('Send notification or something else:', type, action, status)
}
})
loader
need a global loader?
import {ShowLoader} from 'react-parse'
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
.....
render() {
return (
<ShowLoader render={(isLoading) => {
isLoading ? <YourLoader /> : null
}}/>
)
CleanState
Need to clean the state ?
