How do I run a Cloud Code on Heroku? - ios

Question

With the Parse's announcement of their retirement, I have migrated my Parse Server onto Heroku. With my still neophyte knowledge of Heroku, I do not know if they have a similar function to that of Cloud Code, but I do know that a few months ago Parse Introduced a Heroku + Parse feature that allows you to run Cloud Code on any node.js environment, particularly Heroku.
My dilemma is, I have already migrated my server from parse to Heroku prior to learning about this feature :/ , so I cannot run any parse cloud code form my terminal because there is no existing server there anymore. So the question is, how can I emulate this following Cloud Code in Heroku & How do I adjust my swift?
Cloud Code:
// Use Parse.Cloud.define to define as many cloud functions as you want.
// For example:
Parse.Cloud.define("isLoginRedundant", function(request, response) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var sessionQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.Session);
sessionQuery.equalTo("user", request.user);
sessionQuery.find().then(function(sessions) {
response.success( { isRedundant: sessions.length>1 } );
}, function(error) {
response.error(error);
});
});
and here is my swift back in xcode:
PFUser.logInWithUsernameInBackground(userName!, password: passWord!) {
(user, error) -> Void in
if (user != nil) {
// don't do the segue until we know it's unique login
// pass no params to the cloud in swift (not sure if [] is the way to say that)
PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground("isLoginRedundant", withParameters: [:]) {
(response: AnyObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
let dictionary = response as! [String:Bool]
var isRedundant : Bool
isRedundant = dictionary["isRedundant"]!
if (isRedundant) {
// I think you can adequately undo everything about the login by logging out
PFUser.logOutInBackgroundWithBlock() { (error: NSError?) -> Void in
// update the UI to say, login rejected because you're logged in elsewhere
// maybe do a segue here?
let redundantSession: String = "you are already logged in on another device"
self.failedMessage(redundantSession)
self.activityIND.stopAnimating()
self.loginSecond.userInteractionEnabled = true
}
} else {
// good login and non-redundant, do the segue
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("loginSuccess", sender: self)
}
}
} else {
// login failed for typical reasons, update the UI
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
self.activityIND.stopAnimating()
self.loginSecond.userInteractionEnabled = true
if let message = error?.userInfo["error"] as? String
where message == "invalid login parameters" {
let localizedMessage = NSLocalizedString(message, comment: "Something isn't right, check the username and password fields and try again")
print(localizedMessage)
self.failedMessage(localizedMessage)
}else if let secondMessage = error?.userInfo["error"] as? String
where secondMessage == "The Internet connection appears to be offline." {
self.failedMessage(secondMessage)
}
}
}
}

I would first checkout the example repo and read the parse-server documentation. Parse server supports cloud code out of the box and you simply specify which file contains your functions and triggers in the parse-server config. The link you posted with the integration between parse and heroku is not relevant for parse-server.
