can I deploying cloud function to back4app?

[claudio barbera]

Hi, it's possible to deploying a cloud code function or background job? 

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi, Claudio. Command line tool is not yet available for back4app. So you will not be able to run "parse deploy" in the moment. BUT we have launched in our dashboard a place in which you can select and upload your cloud code files through the web browser. To find this feature you have to access dashboard.back4app.com, click on your app and select the option "Cloud Code Settings". There you will find a file explorer in which you can manage your files and folders, an upload button and also a place in which you can see your files.

Only accept js?? When can I import SQL, CSV or JSON?? In the app dashboard I can create tables with relationships, how can I in SQL.??

[Davi Macêdo]

back{4}app generates backend code and REST APIs using Parse Server open source framework, that was developed using express.js (a node.js web framework). Therefore the unique accepted language now is javascript. BUT we aim to generate backend in the future using other frameworks like Ruby on Rails or Django.

Importing data into the classes is not available, but I think it is also a very good idea to the future. However you can use a mongo client to connect to your database and import you data directly there.

About relationships, it is possible. You can create in your classes columns of type "Relation"

Does cloud code function has running time limitation like parse?

[Davi Macêdo]

Now there is no limitation. But it's possible you will add in the future. So keep your functions lean :)

Hi David, is there any roadmap when CLI will work on back4app ? 

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi. I haven't a data yet, but we are publishing job scheduling tomorrow morning and then we will start developing this feature. Probably it will be available by the next week. Best!

Any update on cloud job implementation?   I just tried loading my cloud job via back4app CloudCode UI and still got this error below.  Also doing "curl -x POST ….. https://parseapi.back4app.com/jobs/MyCloudJob" via the REST interface got the "{"message":"Not Found","error":{}}" error, most likely due to that the Parse.Cloud.job() in my cloud code is not being loaded.

Eric

Cloud Code not loaded:
 [TypeError: Parse.Cloud.job is not a function]

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi, Eric. Jobs are not yet available. We are now doing the last tests on it. In the worst case it will be available in the next Tuesday. But probably it will be available earlier. Best.

[hanni...@gmail.com]

are there any changes I need to make to my cloud code? I read in Parse migration guide that I need to replace Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey() or also change the relative paths like 'cloud/...' to './cloud/..'

appreciate your help as this is the last thing to do before I launch my app..thanks

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi

Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey() doesnt throw any exception but it does nothing anymore. If you need to query some class that requires master key, you have to use { useMasterKey: true } option.

About files reference just reference them require('./nameofthefile.js')

Best!

Hi Davi. Could you give me a help?

I uploaded my cloud code (main.js) that was on Parse to back4app.

When i tried to schedule a job, it doesn`t work.

So, i went to App Logs and there was the following message:

Cloud Code not loaded:
 { [Error: Cannot find module './data/cloud/main'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

My code is the same that is online in Parse.

Can you tell what is the problem?

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi, Paulo.

I've just checked your logs and your cloud code was correctly loaded. It is an old message. In the next release of back4app this UX issue will not occur again.

So your job should be working. What is the error you have when scheduling it?

Best

[paul...@gmail.com]

Hi Davi.

Thanks for the answer.

I tried again and now the job was successfull scheduled.

The error message before was that the function does not exist, or something like that.

Now, i think that the interface is showing the wrong schedule time. 

The job browser show the schedule time is 00:40 UTC. I scheduled it to 05:00 UTC.

[Davi Macêdo]

@ricardo Can you check it please?

[Seiji Akiyama]

Howdy, Paulo!

I've checked the Job configuration and everything seems ok!
Look, look:

start: 2016-07-01T00:40:41.481Z,
daily_run: 05:00

It seems like we have another UX issue and we're truly sorry about it.
We're showing the start date on the "Schedule" column at "Job Browser".

But your daily run is scheduled for 05:00 UTC.

If something happens on the first run, please, tell us!
Sayounara!

Hey Davi, 

is there any news on the CLI interface for uploading cloud code? 

[Davi Macêdo]

Not yet... We are already develping this feature and current worst case scenario ETA is end of July. Best!

[ma...@cafepress.com]

I'm getting the same error.  No idea why.

Cloud Code not loaded:
 { [Error: Cannot find module './data/cloud/main'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

When I try running my cloud function, I get this:

https://parseapi.back4app.com/1/functions/nextcode : Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Any idea what might be going on?

[ma...@cafepress.com]

Figured it out.  I was using an order version of parse.js.  Upgraded to the latest, and everything works.

[Davi Macêdo]

Good to know it.

Another comment is about the endpoint. Make sure you are using https://parseapi.back4app.com/functions/nextcode, without /1/

If you have any problem, let me know.

Best!

[c.wa...@votinglab.de]

Sorry, I have to be pushing about this feature, but it would be great to know a real date for this be deployed. I really want to move some apps of mine to back4app, but without cli, this is really painful. 

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi, @cwalzel,

If you want to help us as a beta tester of CLI tool, please reach us through web-site chat. I will setup it for you.

Best.

[c.wa...@votinglab.de]

Hi Davi, 

is there any news on the CLI. I reached you via chat and you wanted to set the CLI up, however i am unable to find it my Dashboard. 

Can the CLI be installed via npm?

And by the way, how to i deploy data to your web-hosting service? 

Best, 

cwalzel

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi. We will probably launch for all users by the end of the current week. Best!

[dav...@gmail.com]

Hey, any update on this? Did the launch happen this week in the end?

[Davi Macêdo]

Hi, Guys. Not yet. I apologize for it. It has delayed little bit but the CLI deployment is now scheduled (and fixed) to occur in December 4th. Best.

[lex...@gmail.com]

Where is the CLI?

[casag...@back4app.com]

Hello!

The CLI is on a BETA version and you can send us an email requiring your paticipation.

Best!

[Alexis L.]

Hi 

Can you add me to the CLI beta ?

thanks!

[Davi Macêdo]

Sure.

Thank you for helping us.

We prepared our servers to integrate with the same CLI tool parse.com already provided.

Please, follow the steps below to start using it:

1) First of all, you need an Account Key. Sign in Back4app -> Click in your username that you can find in the right upper side of the screen -> Click in Account key -> Create a new account key and take no of it;

2) Install the CLI from the following link (it is an archive link of the old parse.com web site, but we are creating our own docs in our web site): https://web.archive.org/web/20160112010649/https://parse.com/docs/cloudcode/guide#command-line-installation

3) Use the following command to make the CLI connect to Back4app servers: export PARSE_SERVER=“https://parsecli.back4app.com”

4) Use the following command to setup your Account key to the CLI: parse configure accountkey

5) Use the following command to start coding for a new or existing project (when asked where you want to deploy, choose 2) Parse): parse new

6) Use the following command to deploy your code: parse deploy

If you need any help or find any problem, let me know.

Best.

Supreeeeeme :)

I had one little problem that after uploading new .js file, on server it had content of null.

I found out that it was caused with this function:

function isoToUtf8(input){

    var map = {

        "À":"À",

        "Â":"Â",

        "Ä":"Ä",

        "Ã…":"Å",

        "Æ":"Æ",

        "Ç":"Ç",

        "È":"È",

        "É":"É",

        "Ê":"Ê",

        "Ë":"Ë",

        "ÃŒ":"Ì",

        "ÃŽ":"Î",

        "Ñ":"Ñ",

        "Ã’":"Ò",

        "Ó":"Ó",

        "Ô":"Ô",

        "Õ":"Õ",

        "Ö":"Ö",

        "×":"×",

        "Ø":"Ø",

        "Ù":"Ù",

        "Ú":"Ú",

        "Û":"Û",

        "Ãœ":"Ü",

        "Þ":"Þ",

        "ß":"ß",

        "Ã ":"à",

        "á":"á",

        "â":"â",

        "ã":"ã",

        "ä":"ä",

        "Ã¥":"å",

        "æ":"æ",

        "ç":"ç",

        "è":"è",

        "é":"é",

        "ê":"ê",

        "ë":"ë",

        "ì":"ì",

        "í":"í",

        "î":"î",

        "ï":"ï",

        "ð":"ð",

        "ñ":"ñ",

        "ò":"ò",

        "ó":"ó",

        "ô":"ô",

        "õ":"õ",

        "ö":"ö",

        "÷":"÷",

        "ø":"ø",

        "ù":"ù",

        "ú":"ú",

        "û":"û",

        "ü":"ü",

        "ý":"ý",

        "þ":"þ",

        "ÿ":"ÿ",

        "ϳ":"ó",

        "¢":"¢",

        "Ï":"à"

    }

    var regex = [];;

        

    for (var prop in map) {

        regex.push(prop);

    }

    regex = new RegExp( regex.join('|'), "g" );

    return input.replace(regex, function(match) {

      return map[match];

    });

}

Is there some validation of .js file? If yes maybe it have some problems with this special chars.

(Im not using this function anymore so CLI is working great for me)

Thanks for this awesome feature of CLI.

Hi!

Were you able to solve it?
