How to get the most recent record of a given class from parse?

[dlio]

Is there an easy lookup to simply retrieve the one most recently created record for a given class? I have been trying various workarounds with the example methods but I cannot seem to figure out how. I could use the HTTP API to do so but I'm guessing that this is a fairly common use case for this gem. Any help would be much appreciated; cheers and thanks for this great gem.

Is there is a way to pass through any of these constraints?

@dlio Sorry for the slow reply!

So I'm not sure if this was the case when you opened this issue, but this is definitely possible now. See query constraints.

an example:

new_user = Parse::Query.new("_User").tap do |q| 
  q.order_by = 'createdAt' 
  q.order = :descending
end.get.first
