I’m new to web development and I’m having a hard time finding documentations/tutorials on how to use back4app’s Parse server with a wix website. I’ve installed the Parse package (node_module) but I have no clue on how to import Parse or how to make calls to Parse on my site/pages. Any examples on how to initialize Parse to the website and make simple queries would be helpful to get me started. My app is already complete so I’m just now trying to create the website for it.
When you say that you have installed the Parse nodeJS, is that through the Wix Package Manager

As it tells you how to add them on that page.

Using an Installed Package To use an installed package, import the package in your code. Each package will have a unique import statement. See the package’s external documentation to learn about what import statement to use.
For example, assuming the faker package has been installed, you use its functionality as follows:
import faker from 'faker';
export function getFakeName() {
return faker.name.findName();
}
As for using it on your site, you can see examples here about exposing your site.
As for using the parse server itself, you can find more info about using their own nodeJS and REST API here.
The full documentation for Parse Server is available in the wiki. The Parse Server guide is a good place to get started. An API reference and Cloud Code guide are also available. If you’re interested in developing for Parse Server, the Development guide will help you get set up.
