Turns out that Stripe module at Parse Could Code is out of date and won't be updated.

Source:

https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/523104684492016/

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.

  • i know nothing about this, but it seems fishy because `child_process` is a core node module – mkoryak Apr 24 '15 at 20:49
  • Yeah, I'm not into web development (i had no idea before about javascript or node.js, just learning on the fly because I need to integrate payments into my mobile application), so I hope someone can help me with this one. – pauchan8 Apr 24 '15 at 20:53

    Parse uses a modified version of express and node, so not all (I'd guess most) modules won't run in the cloud folder, especially since Parse has poor submodule support too. This is a large reason why I just run my own express apps in Heroku, since Parse's module support is extremely limited – Matthew Arkin Apr 24 '15 at 23:14

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!

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.
