Setting up Your Development Environment

#What you'll need

Most of your development environment will be automatically configured for you using Boxen. This allows for all devs to have the same working environment with out having to worry about configuration, installation, etc. If you are curious about how our boxen is configured you can view the source for our fork at devtrw/our-boxen.

You will need to install two apps manually and boxen should handle the rest

#Installation Process

Once you have NPM and WebStorm installed have Steven (@llwt) add a manifest to our Boxen. Then run the boxen install process.

Setting up the parse development configuration

In order for the parse environment to function properly in development you need to copy /config/global.dist.json to /config/global.json.

The config file does two things in development:

  • It enables the parse cli to deploy to the dev app using the "parse deploy" command
  • It is passed to the client through the JSONP route /client/config which in turn bootstraps the Parse.com JS SDK
