Small yet useful jQuery code to connect HTML elements with ParseObjects. This code helps connect html input and span elements with ParseObjects using jQuery.
The first step to connect HTML elements to ParseObjects is setting the context. You'll need to run the following JS code after the input.js code is imported.
var testObj = new Parse.Object("TestObject");
parseUIContext.set('testObj', testObj);To connect an input to a parse object simply add the following attributes to the input element:
- parseobj: described the object to take from the parseUIContext object.
- parsefield: described the field to connect to the input (from the parseobj). You can use . notation to access fields of sub objects (see examples).
<input parseobj="testobj" parsefield="testfield" />Note that by default your objects will be automatically saved when the input change event is fired. To change this behaviour, just modify the PARSE_UI_AUTOSAVE on they parseUIContext object.
parseUIContext.set(PARSE_UI_AUTOSAVE, false);This code helps create really quick forms and prototypes in JavaScript.
Add the following script imports to get started. You should skip the jquery and parse JS SDK imports if you already have them. Just make sure you import input.js AFTER the first 2 dependencies.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//www.parsecdn.com/js/parse-1.6.14.min.js"></script>
<script src="input.js"></script>Just fork and create pull requests to enhance this code. It'll be really cool to have this project turn into THE ParseUI-JS project.
It would be great to see tests, Angular examples, react.js examples and offline support.
