I implemented opengraph previews on my haven apps!

in haven you can specify external files in the url using searchParams, using CF functions and HTMLRewriter to then embed the url in an opengraph tag

cool stuff!

Hello, I'm new here, nice to e-meet everybody 👋 ! I'm running my function with "wrangler pages" (different from the workers wrangler apparently), but I need to serve it with https rather than http. I saw that the regular (workers) wrangler has an option "local-protocol" to specify exactly that, but trying this option with wrangler pages gives the following error:

> npx wrangler pages dev --local-protocol "https" -- npm run dev 

Unknown arguments: local-protocol, localProtocol

Any idea how to make my function run on https? Thanks!

Not currently possible, unfortunately. But we'll probably add this in the future.

I use environment variables for my "secrets". The only risk is that someone can see them in my dashboard. However, since I'm the only user on my account, it's good enough for me. I am looking forward to real secrets support.

Does functions replace SSR? What is it excatly?

I am not sure if you are thinking about some specific type of SSR, but you can do server-side rendering in your functions. Basically, functions are server-side scripts, similar to php pages. But in Javascript.

Yeah. Every Function is like a PHP endpoint (but no PHP, Javascript only). Some frameworks do indeed support SSR on Functions (SvelteKit and Remix and Nuxt are the main ones, with a few others) but that's not the only thing Functions do, just one of them.

ok but like how can I use it?

it will be similar like workers?

or do I code that functions locally whats its about

Functions are similar to Workers, yes.

Except that they run on Pages and have a file-based routing system.

wow okay. but this remove like the ability to use stuff like webpack and dependencies?

For now, yes.

hm okay. i will take a look at it

whats a typical use case of functions

not do able with workers

Well. Functions have a file-based routing system but it's not really a case of "what can't I do with Workers that I can do with Functions" it's more like "why should I use Functions."

I'd refer you to this: https://canary.discord.com/channels/595317990191398933/910978223968518144/955658277973291038

interesting, so its similar like to an ssr backend. which frameworks it supports all?

It only supports SvelteKit, Remix, and Nuxt for SSR at the moment.

ah okay cool

I'm pretty sure nuxt does not support pages ssr out of the box yet. Did some digging after they hit rc status recently and nitro (the server engine) only has worker support so far . Maybe theres an diy way to get it to work (which I'd love to try) but I don't think its natively supported yet unfortunately

I've seen someone running Nuxt on SSR...

The new one, I mean. V3 or whatever.
