Seamlessly bring Parse data into your React applications.

Overview:

Parse + React is an interface layer on top of the Parse JS SDK that allows React components to easily access the Parse API. It enables components to subscribe to Parse queries and dispatch data mutations in a Flux-style manner. This project is aimed at making user interfaces snappy and responsive by automatically updating components as objects are created or modified.

Features:

  • Seamlessly integrate Parse data into React applications
  • Subscribe to Parse queries in React components
  • Mutate data in a Flux-style manner
  • Automatic component updates as objects are created or modified

Installation:

To install Parse + React, you can include it from the CDN (minified) or npm. Ensure that React and the Parse JS SDK are already in place before initializing Parse + React. For Common JS require statements, include the ‘parse’ npm package in your dependencies. For React Native, require the ‘parse-react/react-native’ package instead of the standard package.

Example code snippet for including the necessary libraries:

<head>
    <!-- Include React and Parse JS SDK -->
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/parse/dist/parse.min.js"></script>
    
    <!-- Include Parse + React -->
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/parse-react/dist/parse-react.min.js"></script>
</head>

Summary:

Parse + React is a project that simplifies the integration of Parse data into React applications. It provides a way for React components to subscribe to Parse queries and handles data mutations in a Flux-style manner. Although the project is not actively maintained and may have compatibility issues with newer versions of the Parse JS SDK, it offers a convenient solution for developers looking to enhance the responsiveness of their user interfaces.
