Cloudflare Workers Deployment

Workflow

Phase 1: Scout & Plan

1. Clone/fetch the repo, read wrangler.toml and package.json
2. Identify required Cloudflare resources (D1, R2, KV) and their bindings
3. If resources don't exist yet, create them via REST API

Phase 2: Create Cloudflare Resources

# D1 Database
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/d1/database" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "database_name"}'

# R2 Bucket
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/r2/buckets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "bucket-name"}'

# KV Namespace
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/storage/kv/namespaces" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "namespace-name"}'

Phase 3: Configure wrangler.toml

Update wrangler.toml with resource IDs:

[[d1_databases]]
binding = "DB"
database_name = "database_name"
database_id = "<uuid>"

[[kv_namespaces]]
binding = "STATIC_ASSETS"
id = "<uuid>"

Phase 4: Initialize Database

# Run SQL migrations (use --remote for production D1)
npx wrangler d1 execute database_name --file=schema/schema.sql --remote

Phase 5: Deploy

npx wrangler deploy

KV Settings Pattern (website_settings)

Many CF Workers projects store site config in KV as JSON. This pattern recurs in B2B/ecommerce templates.

Correct way to write JSON to KV:

# Must use --path <file>, NOT stdin/heredoc — wrangler reads value from file
echo '{"site_name":"...","email":"..."}' > /tmp/settings.json
npx wrangler kv key put "website_settings" --path /tmp/settings.json --namespace-id <uuid> --remote

Pitfalls

• wrangler kv key put: Use --path <file> to read value from file. Stdin/heredoc does NOT work. Must add --remote for production targeting.
• wrangler d1 execute: Always add --remote flag to target production D1, not local dev DB.
• No build step: Pure JS projects deploy directly without npm run build. Check package.json scripts first.
• Admin role: Default admin accounts may be admin role, not super_admin. Upgrade via D1: UPDATE admins SET role='super_admin' WHERE username='admin'
• POST vs PUT for updates: POST often creates duplicates — verify whether update uses POST or PUT
• D1 SQL via API: When wrangler CLI fails, fall back to Cloudflare REST API for D1 operations
• KV settings NOT auto-propagated to pages: Pages with hardcoded HTML template strings do NOT update when KV changes. Fix: read settings server-side in page handler (await env.STATIC_ASSETS.get()), inject into HTML template string, redeploy. Check home.js, about.js, contact.js when updating site content. Pages using JS fetch('/api/settings') client-side may fail silently — always prefer server-side injection for static content pages.
• CSS variable naming mismatch causes 500 errors: layout.css defines --primary, --dark, --gray-*, --radius, --shadow-*. Many page templates incorrectly use --primary-color, --text-light, --text-dark, --bg-light which do NOT exist in layout.css and cause Worker exceptions. Always verify all CSS variables match layout.css definitions before deploying. Replace: var(--primary-color)→var(--primary), var(--text-light)→var(--gray-500), var(--text-dark)→var(--dark), var(--bg-light)→var(--gray-100).
• Template literal class keyword causes "Expected ; but found class" build error: In Cloudflare Workers (V8 engine), template literals containing class= attributes fail to parse, producing cryptic build errors at the keyword. : Use string concatenation () for HTML with class attributes. Do NOT use backtick template literals for HTML card markup in page handlers.

Verification

curl -sLo /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://worker.workers.dev/"
curl -s "https://worker.workers.dev/api/settings"
