Update Stripe module at Parse Cloud Code

Question

Turns out that Stripe module at Parse Could Code is out of date and won't be updated.

Source:

Parse modules are using an old version of the API and there is no plan to update it in the near future.

As a workaround please download the newer SDKs directly off the third party site, place it in "cloud/" folder and import it using require();

We're going to close this by design.

I have downloaded Stripe module via terminal with command

npm install stripe

I'm trying to import this module but when I deploy it to Parse, it seems that most of the modules are missing. I get errors like this:

Update failed with Error: Module child_process.js not found at node_modules/stripe/lib/stripe.js:24:12

Hope someone can point me out on how to add third party modules to Parse Cloud Code properly. Thanks.

Answer 1

Seems that Parse's module support is really limited and adding submodules is impossible or too complex to even bother, that's why I decided to move to Heroku. Thanks for all answers!

Answer 2

I know that this is a bit old, but my "workaround" was, rather than importing the module, convert the cURL requests from Stripe's documentation to Parse.Cloud.httpRequests. You can get access to the entire API that way.
