Cloud - Documentation

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 two parameters a Parse.Cloud.FunctionRequest and a Parse.Cloud.FunctionResponse

(static) httpRequest(options) → {Parse.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:: Parse.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`	The name of the Background Job
`func`	`function`	The Background Job to register. This function should take two parameters a Parse.Cloud.JobRequest and a Parse.Cloud.JobStatus

(static) run(name, data, options) → {Parse.Promise}

Makes a call to a cloud function.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`name`	`String`	The function name.
`data`	`Object`	The parameters to send to the cloud function.
`options`	`Object`	A Backbone-style options object options.success, if set, should be a function to handle a successful call to a cloud function. options.error should be a function that handles an error running the cloud function. Both functions are optional. Both functions take a single argument.

Returns:

Type:: Parse.Promise

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

Type Definitions

BeforeDeleteResponse

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`success`	`function`	If called, will allow the delete to happen.
`error`	`function`	If called, will reject the save. An optional error message may be passed in.

BeforeSaveResponse

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`success`	`function`	If called, will allow the save to happen. If a Parse.Object is passed in, then the passed in object will be saved instead.
`error`	`function`	If called, will reject the save. An optional error message may be passed in.

FunctionRequest

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`installationId`	`String`	If set, the installationId triggering the request.

`followRedirects`	`Boolean`	Whether to follow redirects caused by HTTP 3xx responses. Defaults to false.
`headers`	`Object`	The headers for the request.
`method`	`String`	The method of the request. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS are supported. Will default to GET if not specified.

`success`	`function`	The function that is called when the request successfully completes. It will be passed a Parse.Cloud.HTTPResponse object.
`url`	`string`	The url to send the request to.

HTTPResponse

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`buffer`	`Buffer`	The raw byte representation of the response body. Use this to receive binary data. See Buffer for more details.
