Parse. Cloud

new Cloud()

Contains functions for calling and declaring cloud functions.

Some functions are only available from Cloud Code.

Methods

(static) afterDelete(arg1, func)

Registers an after delete function.

Available in Cloud Code only.

If you want to use afterDelete for a predefined class in the Parse JavaScript SDK (e.g. Parse.User), you should pass the class itself and not the String for arg1.

Parse.Cloud.afterDelete('MyCustomClass', (request) => {
  // code here
})

Parse.Cloud.afterDelete(Parse.User, (request) => {
  // code here
})
Parameters:
Name Type Description
arg1 String | Parse.Object

The Parse.Object subclass to register the after delete function for. This can instead be a String that is the className of the subclass.

func function

The function to run after a delete. This function should take just one parameter, Parse.Cloud.TriggerRequest.

(static) afterSave(arg1, func)

Registers an after save function.

Available in Cloud Code only.

If you want to use afterSave for a predefined class in the Parse JavaScript SDK (e.g. Parse.User), you should pass the class itself and not the String for arg1.

Parse.Cloud.afterSave('MyCustomClass', function(request) {
  // code here
})

Parse.Cloud.afterSave(Parse.User, function(request) {
  // code here
})
Parameters:
Name Type Description
arg1 String | Parse.Object

The Parse.Object subclass to register the after save function for. This can instead be a String that is the className of the subclass.

func function

The function to run after a save. This function should take just one parameter, Parse.Cloud.TriggerRequest.

(static) beforeDelete(arg1, func)

Registers an before delete function.

Available in Cloud Code only.

If you want to use beforeDelete for a predefined class in the Parse JavaScript SDK (e.g. Parse.User), you should pass the class itself and not the String for arg1.

Parse.Cloud.beforeDelete('MyCustomClass', (request, response) => {
  // code here
})

Parse.Cloud.beforeDelete(Parse.User, (request, response) => {
  // code here
})
Parameters:
Name Type Description
arg1 String | Parse.Object

The Parse.Object subclass to register the before delete function for. This can instead be a String that is the className of the subclass.

func function

The function to run before a delete. This function should take two parameters a Parse.Cloud.TriggerRequest and a Parse.Cloud.BeforeDeleteResponse.

(static) beforeSave(arg1, func)

Registers an before save function.

Available in Cloud Code only.

If you want to use beforeSave for a predefined class in the Parse JavaScript SDK (e.g. Parse.User), you should pass the class itself and not the String for arg1.

Parse.Cloud.beforeSave('MyCustomClass', (request, response) => {
  // code here
})

Parse.Cloud.beforeSave(Parse.User, (request, response) => {
  // code here
})
Parameters:
Name Type Description
arg1 String | Parse.Object

The Parse.Object subclass to register the after save function for. This can instead be a String that is the className of the subclass.

func function

The function to run before a save. This function should take two parameters a Parse.Cloud.TriggerRequest and a Parse.Cloud.BeforeSaveResponse.

(static) define(name, data)

Defines a Cloud Function.

Available in Cloud Code only.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
name String

The name of the Cloud Function

data function

The Cloud Function to register. This function should take one parameter Parse.Cloud.FunctionRequest

(static) getJobsData() → {Promise}

Gets data for the current set of cloud jobs.

Returns:
Type:
Promise

A promise that will be resolved with the result of the function.

(static) getJobStatus(jobStatusId) → {Parse.Object}

Gets job status by Id

Parameters:
Name Type Description
jobStatusId String

The Id of Job Status.

Returns:
Type:
Parse.Object

Status of Job.

(static) httpRequest(options) → {Promise.<Parse.Cloud.HTTPResponse>}

Makes an HTTP Request.

Available in Cloud Code only.

By default, Parse.Cloud.httpRequest does not follow redirects caused by HTTP 3xx response codes. You can use the followRedirects option in the Parse.Cloud.HTTPOptions object to change this behavior.

Sample request:

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
  url: 'http://www.parse.com/'
}).then(function(httpResponse) {
  // success
  console.log(httpResponse.text);
},function(httpResponse) {
  // error
  console.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
});
Parameters:
Name Type Description
options Parse.Cloud.HTTPOptions

The Parse.Cloud.HTTPOptions object that makes the request.

Returns:
Type:
Promise.<Parse.Cloud.HTTPResponse>

A promise that will be resolved with a Parse.Cloud.HTTPResponse object when the request completes.

(static) job(name, func)

Defines a Background Job.

Available in Cloud Code only.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
name String

func function

The Background Job to register. This function should take two parameters a Parse.Cloud.JobRequest and a Parse.Cloud.JobStatus
