Any way to create blank parse class

[samarthagarwal]

Hi. I was wondering if there is a way to create blank Parse classes like we have on the Parse Dashboard. Thanks.

You can use the Create Object API to create a new object, if the class doesn't exist it will be created for you

What I am looking for is to create a class with no data in it.

This empty class will be populated with data in your application I assume so you can just use the client SDK to create the objects and if the class doesn't exist it will be created for you. From there you can perform CRUD operations on your new class, If you're looking for a dashboard you may want to follow Issue #3

So, what was likely occurring on the Parse dashboard, is that we created the _SCHEMA entry for a new class, but it wasn't actually 'created' unless you saved an object. I don't see any value in creating the collection empty here, but the dashboard will no doubt offer the same functionality, since it gets the collection list from the _SCHEMA.
