How to use ParseServerOptions

Question

I am using Parse Server v2.8.2. I am trying to use src/Options/index.js to rebuild src/Options/Definitions.js using the following command

$ node resources/buildConfigDefinitions.js

But when I execute this command, nothing seems to happen. Besides when I run

parse-server --appId=def --masterKey=abc - databaseURI=mongodb://localhost/test

I can't get the configuration I'm setting in the

src/Options/index.js file.

Does anyone know how this works and how to actually get the configuration in the index.js file?

Thank you!

forget the rebuild. You can combine .env settings AND specify a config file both on the cmdLine, letting the default priorities establish themselves for actual , runtime config.properties...

since you are with node...

package.json

  "scripts": {
    ...
    "start": "node ./bin/parse-server -- lib/conf.json",

.env OR cli settings ...
