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}/>}
            />
        )
    }
}
/*
MyTable will get props from FetchCollection, MyTable props will be:
const {schemaName, targetName, userName, fetchProps} = this.props
const {data,error,status,info,isLoading,refresh,deleteDoc,put,post} = fetchProps
*/

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-

// my-saga-file.js
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 is the default key but you can set your key, just pass fetchPropsKey inside dataProviders < FetchCollection fetchPropsKey='res'

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
  • fetchProps.refresh()
• cleanData - method, run to clean data from store
  • fetchProps.cleanData()
• 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} // or user render={(props)=> <MyComponent ...props/>}
    // optional:
    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} // remove data from store on componentWillUnmount
    localFirst={false} // fetch data from server only if we can found your data on local store
    localOnly={false} // never fetch data from server, only find in store
    autoRefresh={false} // Fetch data after each create/update/delete doc
    dataHandler={data => data} // Function to manipulate the data before set to store. 
    initialValue={{title: 'default title'}}
    // Want to pass something to your component, add here
    userName='Dan' // MyComponent will get this.props.userName
/>

• 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} // or user render={(props)=> <MyComponent ...props/>}
    // optional:
    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} // remove data from store on componentWillUnmount
    localFirst={false} // fetch data from server only if we can found your data on local store
    localOnly={false} // never fetch data from server, only find in store
    autoRefresh={false} // Fetch data after each create/update/delete doc
    query={object} // 	http://docs.parseplatform.org/rest/guide/#queries
    order='' // default is '-createdAt', Specify a field to sort by
    skip={12} // skip first 12 documents
    limit={50} // limit query to 50 documents
    enableCount={true} // return the amount of results in db
    dataHandler={data => data} // Function to manipulate the data before set to store. 
    // Want to pass something to your component, add here
    userName='Dan' // example
/>

FetchCloudCode:

With FetchCloudCode you can get list of document by collection name

import {FetchCloudCode} from 'react-parse'
....
<FetchCloudCode 
    functionName='GetPosts'
    params={object} // cloud code params
    targetName='GetPostsCloud'
    component={MyComponent} // or user render={(props)=> <MyComponent ...props/>}
    // optional:
    onFetchEnd={({error, status, data, info, boomerang })=>{}}
    leaveClean={true} // remove data from store on componentWillUnmount
    localFirst={false} // fetch data from server only if we can found your data on local store
    localOnly={false} // never fetch data from server, only find in store
    dataHandler={data => data} // Function to manipulate the data before set to store. 
    // Want to pass something to your component, add here
    userName='Dan' // example
/>

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 ?

• Option 1 Add lister to your logout action type:

  import {setClearStateActionType} from 'react-parse
  setClearStateActionType('USER_LOGOUT')
  

• Option 2 Call react-parse cleanAllState action

  import {cleanAllState} from 'react-parse
  cleanAllState()
  

• Option 3 dispatch action with this type 'CLEAN_ALL_PARSE_STATE'
