Enabling Reset Password and email verification for parse-server hosted locally - parse-server

Question

I am trying to enable reset password and email verification for my parse-server-example installed locally. I could see we have https://github.com/parse-server-modules/parse-mailgun.
But I am not clear how to use parse-mailgun in parse-server-example, I am completely lost with it.
Can somebody explain or suggest steps to enable it?
Regards

Answer 1

Create account with MailGun, and get apiKey and Domain from its website.
Copy and Paste below configuration under index.js file of your parse-server-example git folder at your local system.You can get this file under parse-server-example folder directly.
verifyUserEmails: true,
publicServerURL: 'https://yourproject.herokuapp.com/parse',
appName: 'Parse App',
emailAdapter: {
module: 'parse-server-simple-mailgun-adapter',
options: {
fromAddress: 'parse#example.com',
domain: '<domainProvidedFromMailGun>.mailgun.org',
apiKey: 'key-FromMailGun',
}
},
Push it to heroku app git, since I have piloted my parse-server to heroku so below cmd's will be valid.
git add .
git commit -m "mypush commit"
heroku git:remote -a fast-springs-29785
git push heroku master

Email verification and password reset
Verifying user email addresses and enabling password reset via email requries an email adapter. As part of the parse-server package we provide an adapter for sending email through Mailgun. To use it, sign up for Mailgun, and add this to your initialization code:
var server = ParseServer({
...otherOptions,
// Enable email verification
verifyUserEmails: true,
// The public URL of your app.
// This will appear in the link that is used to verify email addresses and reset passwords.
// Set the mount path as it is in serverURL
publicServerURL: 'https://example.com/parse',
// Your apps name. This will appear in the subject and body of the emails that are sent.
appName: 'Parse App',
// The email adapter
emailAdapter: {
module: 'parse-server-simple-mailgun-adapter',
options: {
// The address that your emails come from
fromAddress: 'parse#example.com',
// Your domain from mailgun.com
domain: 'example.com',
// Your API key from mailgun.com
apiKey: 'key-mykey',
}
}
});
You can also use other email adapters contributed by the community such as parse-server-sendgrid-adapter or parse-server-mandrill-adapter.
