- Javascript
- Parse Cloud Code
In my app a User can request to join another Users account. The pseudo code for this is as follows:
- send up the
usernameof the account we want to join - search to see if the
usernameexist in the database - if
noreturn - if
yescreate a newAccountRequestobject - add the newly created
AccountRequestobject to the user we were searching for.
I'm able to do steps 1-4 however I'm having trouble accomplishing #5.
Here is my code that I'm working with.
Parse.Cloud.define("sendAccountAdditionRequest", function(request, response) {
console.log("-sendAccountAdditionRequest");
// Create the query on the User class
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
// Set our parameters to search on
query.equalTo("username", request.params.adminUsername);
// Perform search
query.find({
// We found a matching user
success: function(results) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var fetchedUser = results[0]
console.log("--found user");
console.log("--creating new AccountRequest");
// Create a new instance of AccountRequest
var AccountRequestClass = Parse.Object.extend("AccountRequest");
var accountRequest = new AccountRequestClass();
// Set the User it is related to. Our User class has a 1..n relationship to AccountRequest
accountRequest.set("user", fetchedUser);
// Set out other values for the AccountRequest
accountRequest.set("phone", request.params.adminUsername);
accountRequest.set("dateSent", Date.now());
// Save the new AccountRequest
accountRequest.save(null,{
// Once the new AccountRequest has been saved we need to add it to our fetched User
success:function(savedRequest) {
console.log("---adding AccountRequest to fetched User");
//
// === This is where stuff breaks
//
var requestRelation = fetchedUser.relation("accountRequest");
// Now we need to add the new AccountRequest to the fetched User. The accountRequest property for a User is array...I'm not sure how I'm suppose to append a new item to that. I think I need to somehow cast results[0] to a User object? Maybe?
requestRelation.add(savedRequest);
// We perform a save on the User now that the accountRequest has been added.
fetchedUser.save(null, {
success:function(response) {
console.log("----AccountRequest complete");
response.success("A request has been sent!");
},
error:function(error) {
// This is printing out: ParseUser { _objCount: 2, className: '_User', id: 'QjhQxWCFWs' }
console.log(error);
response.error(error);
}
});
//
// ================================
//
//response.success("A request has been sent!");
},
// There was an error saving the new AccountRequest
error:function(error) {
response.error(error);
}
});
},
// We were not able to find an account with the supplied username
error: function() {
response.error("An account with that number does not exist. Please tell your administrator to sign up before you are added.");
}
});
});
I believe my problem is fetching the accountRequest relation from the returned search results from the initial query. Another thing to note is that I have not created the accountRequest property of my PFUser, my understanding is that this will automatically be done by Parse when I perform the save function.
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();won't do anything. If you want to use your masterKey, you have to explicitly use it in theoptionsparameter of asaveor aquery. I.e.object.save(null, {useMasterKey: true});
