Method: Parse::Object#initialize

Defined in:
lib/parse/model/object.rb

#new(id) ⇒ Parse::Object #new(hash = {}) ⇒ Parse::Object

Note:

Should only be called with Parse::Object subclasses.

The main constructor for subclasses. It can take different parameter types including a String and a JSON hash. Assume a Post class that inherits from Parse::Object:

Overloads:

  • #new(id) ⇒ Parse::Object

    Create a new object with an objectId. This method is useful for creating an unfetched object (pointer-state).

    Examples:

    Post.new "1234"

    Parameters:

    • The object id.

  • #new(hash = {}) ⇒ Parse::Object

    Create a new object with Parse JSON hash.

    Examples:

    # JSON hash from Parse
Post.new({"className" => "Post", "objectId" => "1234", "title" => "My Title"})

post = Post.new title: "My Title"
post.title # => "My Title"

    Parameters:

    • (defaults to: {})

      the hash representing the object
