Would really like to be able to integrate forest into parse server. Currently they have a npm plugin that works with express+mongoose, was wondering if it was possible to configure parse server as an express app with mongoose?
[UPDATE] Forest Admin relies on a dedicated admin backend automatically generated. So it does not depend on any specific framework anymore.
Parser server is built on top of Express.js. Forest Admin already supports Express with Mongoose, Sequelize and Loopback.
You cannot use forest-express-mongoose directly because the Forest npm plugin (the Liana) will try to analyze the database schema through mongoose, which does not exist in Parse-server.
Forest Admin supports Loopback today with the npm plugin (the Liana) forest-loopback. The Parse server support is similar to the Loopback.
You can create a forest-parse plugin with the same architecture. Both modules just need to use the common forest-express module to generate the Admin API. The only responsability of the forest-express-mongoose, forest-express-sequelize, forest-loopback and forest-parse is to analyze the database schema through the ORM used and map it to a "Forest valid schema" (also called apimap in the documentation: http://doc.forestadmin.com/api-reference/#initializing-your-admin).
