Query Cookbook

parse query cookbook in react native introduction we’ve already seen how a parse query parse query with get get can retrieve a single parse object parse object from back4app there are many other ways to retrieve data with parse query parse query you can retrieve many objects at once, use conditions on the objects you wish to retrieve, and more in this guide, you will ding deep into the parse query parse query class and see all the methods you can use to build your queries you will use a simple database class with some mocked data to perform the queries using the javascript console on back4app prerequisites to complete this tutorial, you will need an app created on back4app goal explore the parse query parse query class different methods the parse query class any query operation on parse uses the parse query parse query object type, which will help you retrieve specific data from your back4app throughout your app to create a new parse query parse query , you need to pass as a parameter the desired parse object parse object subclass, which is the one that will contain your query results it is crucial to know that a parse query parse query will only resolve after calling a retrieve method (like parse query find parse query find or parse query get parse query get ), so a query can be set up and several modifiers can be chained before actually being called you can read more about the parse query parse query class here at the official documentation https //parseplatform org/parse sdk js/api/master/parse query html using the js console on back4app inside your back4app application’s dashboard, you will find a very useful api console in which you can run javascript code directly in this guide you will use to store and query data objects from back4app on your app main dashboard go to core >api console >js console core >api console >js console save your data objects to run the queries on this guide you’ll need first to populate your app with some data let’s create a sample class called profile, which mocks a social media profile class using famous people names and the following fields string type name name date type birthday birthday number (integer) type friendcount friendcount array (string array) type favoritefoods favoritefoods array (number array) type luckynumbers luckynumbers geopoint typelast loginlocation loginlocation nullable pointer type premiummembership premiummembership , related to a membership membership class containing string name name and date expirationdate expirationdate fields here is the parse object parse object classes creation code, so go ahead and run it in your api console 1 // add profile objects and create table 2 // adam sandler 3 let profile = new parse object('profile'); 4 profile set('name', 'adam sandler'); 5 profile set('birthday', new date('09/09/1966')); 6 profile set('friendcount', 2); 7 profile set('favoritefoods', \['lobster', 'bread']); 8 profile set('luckynumbers', \[2, 7]);
