Cloudflare Workers

Edit this page on GitHub

SvelteKit adapter that creates a Cloudflare Workers site using a function for dynamic server rendering.

Requires Wrangler v2. Wrangler v1 is no longer supported.

Comparisons

  • adapter-cloudflare – supports all SvelteKit features; builds for Cloudflare Pages
  • adapter-cloudflare-workers – supports all SvelteKit features; builds for Cloudflare Workers
  • adapter-static – only produces client-side static assets; compatible with Cloudflare Pages

Note: Cloudflare Pages' new Workers integration is currently in beta.
Compared to adapter-cloudflare-workers, adapter-cloudflare is the preferred approach for most users since building on top of Pages unlocks automatic builds and deploys, preview deployments, instant rollbacks, etc.
From SvelteKit's perspective, there is no difference and no functionality loss when migrating to/from the Workers and the Pages adapters.

Usage

Install with npm i -D @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers, then add the adapter to your svelte.config.js:

svelte.config.js
ts
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers';
Cannot find module '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers' or its corresponding type declarations.2307Cannot find module '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers' or its corresponding type declarations.
 
export default {
kit: {
adapter: adapter()
}
};

Basic Configuration

This adapter expects to find a wrangler.toml file in the project root. It should look something like this:

name = "<your-service-name>"
account_id = "<your-account-id>"

main = "./.cloudflare/worker.js"
site.bucket = "./.cloudflare/public"

build.command = "npm run build"

compatibility_date = "2021-11-12"
workers_dev = true

<your-service-name> can be anything. <your-account-id> can be found by logging into your Cloudflare dashboard and grabbing it from the end of the URL:

https://dash.cloudflare.com/<your-account-id>

It's recommended that you add the .cloudflare directory (or whichever directories you specified for main and site.bucket) to your .gitignore.

You will need to install wrangler and log in, if you haven't already:

npm i -g wrangler
wrangler login

Then, you can build your app and deploy it:

wrangler publish

Custom config

If you would like to use a config file other than wrangler.toml, you can do like so:

svelte.config.js
ts
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers';
Cannot find module '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers' or its corresponding type declarations.2307Cannot find module '@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers' or its corresponding type declarations.
 
export default {
kit: {
adapter: adapter({ config: '<your-wrangler-name>.toml' })
}
};

Environment variables

The env object, containing KV/DO namespaces etc, is passed to SvelteKit via the platform property along with context and caches, meaning you can access it in hooks and endpoints:

ts
export async function POST({ request, platform }) {
Binding element 'request' implicitly has an 'any' type.
Binding element 'platform' implicitly has an 'any' type.
7031
7031
Binding element 'request' implicitly has an 'any' type.
Binding element 'platform' implicitly has an 'any' type.
const x = platform.env.YOUR_DURABLE_OBJECT_NAMESPACE.idFromName('x');
}

To make these types available to your app, reference them in your src/app.d.ts:

/// <reference types="@sveltejs/kit" />
/// <reference types="@sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers" />

declare namespace App {
  interface Platform {
		env?: {
			YOUR_KV_NAMESPACE: KVNamespace;
			YOUR_DURABLE_OBJECT_NAMESPACE: DurableObjectNamespace;
		};
  }
}

platform.env is only available in the production build. Use wrangler to test it locally

Troubleshooting

Accessing the file system

You can't access the file system through methods like fs.readFileSync in Serverless/Edge environments. If you need to access files that way, do that during building the app through prerendering. If you have a blog for example and don't want to manage your content through a CMS, then you need to prerender the content (or prerender the endpoint from which you get it) and redeploy your blog everytime you add new content.
