Is there an API to create a worker? I wasn’t able to find it in the documentation. Specifically, I’m setting up a form to create redirects. * User visits my site and submits a form. * The values of the form’s input field are used in the creation of a new worker. * I would then attach this new worker to a route on my domain. I see the Worker Route API, but I don’t see a “create new worker” API. Am I missing something?

That’s two separate APIs. One to create a Worker, and one to bind it to a route. Though note you can also store the redirect in KV, which would mean you could use just a single Worker for all of your redirects

Thanks so much! Do you know what “create a worker” API is called? I really can’t find it in the documentation 😩😩

Thank you! Although I think your suggested architecture of using KV is 🔑

Yeah I'd use KV or D1 or something instead of a new worker upload, you'd hit the limits pretty fast for the case of redirects

i'm getting some CORS related errors (i think).

Preflight response is not successful. Status code: 400

Fetch API cannot load https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/... due to access control checks.

Yeah, you shouldn't use the API client side

i has this samw question, how do i pass thru if i want it to be a MODULE type of worker or a paid worker ? usually its in the toml file but can u pass it as a param i that curl rquest u referenced?

Those aren’t mutually exclusive. And Workers are marked as paid if you pay for the Workers plan

You can use the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData object to include all of the different necessary modules/metadata, and then use said FormData as your body

i know that

const scriptName = 'weather';
const formData = new FormData();
const filePath = './cfweather.js';
const metadata = { "main_module": "worker.js", "some_binding": "stuff" }
const message = 'initial commit';    
fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error('Error reading file:', err);
            return;
        }
        formData.append('worker.js', data, {
            contentType: 'application/javascript+module',
            filename: 'worker.js'
        });
    });

    formData.append('message', JSON.stringify(message), {
        contentType: 'application/json'
    });
    formData.append('metadata',
        JSON.stringify(metadata), {
        contentType: 'application/json',
        filename: 'metadata.json'
    });

this is the code that @rd and I are using @HardAtWork

I found the updated code on the API docs

js

var axios = require("axios").default;

var options = {
  method: 'PUT',
  url: 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/account_identifier/workers/scripts/script_name',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001',
    'X-Auth-Email': ''
  },
  data: '-----011000010111000001101001\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=""message""\r\n\r\n\r\n-----011000010111000001101001\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=""second-file.js""\r\n\r\n\r\n-----011000010111000001101001\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=""worker.js""\r\n\r\n\r\n-----011000010111000001101001\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="metadata"\r\n\r\n\r\n-----011000010111000001101001--\r\n\r\n'
};

axios.request(options).then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
}).catch(function (error) {
  console.error(error);
});

You can do it like that, but Axios should support using FormData directly, so you don’t have to mess with the form headers yourself. And also, the Node-native fetch API should be available, which means you can remove the dependency on Axios entirely, if you want

we've been trying to do this for legit 4 hours, im gonna pass out its 4Am

You can, it just makes it more complex than it needs to be

yeah this is driving me up a wall lol idk what im misisng
