Is it safe to declare Parse app id and server url on client side JS?

For example is it safe to put this in my .js file that's client side. 

Parse.initialize("myAppId");
Parse.serverURL = 'https://0fc98698cc.ngrok.io/1'
Solution

  • Yes, as the docs say, it is safe to use the YOUR_APP_ID, YOUR_JAVASCRIPT_KEY and YOUR_PARSE_SERVER URL on the client side, but NOT the YOUR_MASTERKEY.

    Parse.initialize("YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_JAVASCRIPT_KEY", "YOUR_MASTERKEY");
//javascriptKey is required only if you have it on server.

Parse.serverURL = 'http://YOUR_PARSE_SERVER:1337/parse'
