How to connect my Swift app to my Parse Server?

Question

I'm working on connecting my Parse app to my Node.js Parse Server with the Swift language. In the documentation of Parse, I can see this code :

[Parse initializeWithConfiguration:[ParseClientConfiguration configurationWithBlock:^(id<ParseMutableClientConfiguration> configuration) {
   ...

   configuration.applicationId = @"YOUR_APP_ID";
   configuration.clientKey = @"YOUR_APP_CLIENT_KEY";
   configuration.server = @"http://localhost:1337/parse";

   ...

}]];

And since I use the Swift language, here is my configuration until now :

// Initialize Parse.
Parse.setApplicationId("APP_ID", clientKey: "CLIENT_KEY")

But how can I specify the server as in the Objective-C code ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Found the answer by myself, here is how to set a configuration (including the server URL) with Swift :

let parseConfiguration = ParseClientConfiguration(block: { (ParseMutableClientConfiguration) -> Void in
    ParseMutableClientConfiguration.applicationId = "APP_ID"
    ParseMutableClientConfiguration.clientKey = "CLIENT_KEY"
    ParseMutableClientConfiguration.server = "http://your_server.com:1337/parse"
})

Parse.initializeWithConfiguration(parseConfiguration)

Hope it will help someone else.

Parse Server now has some good documentation going and it basically recommends @fraxool's solution with a little neater syntax:

let configuration = ParseClientConfiguration {
    $0.applicationId = "YOUR_APP_ID"
    $0.clientKey = ""
    $0.server = "http://localhost:1337/parse"
}
Parse.initializeWithConfiguration(configuration)

Just to add the answer with Swift 3:

   let configuration = ParseClientConfiguration {
        $0.applicationId = "YOUR_APP_ID"
        $0.clientKey = ""
        $0.server = "http://localhost:1337/parse"
    }
    Parse.initialize(with: configuration)

Answer 4

// Set App ID

  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        let configuration = ParseClientConfiguration {
            $0.applicationId = PARSE_APP_KEY
            $0.clientKey = PARSE_CLIENT_KEY
            $0.server = "https://example.com"
        }
          Parse.initialize(with: configuration)

   return true
}
