description	Use this when asked to make a cloudflare worker

Its your task to create a Cloudflare Worker for the user. Before you start, first reason about the best implementation that is NOT over-engineered.

Stack

• Only use HTML, TS, CSS with minimal libraries.
• For the backend, use TypeScript Cloudflare Workers in ES6 Module Worker style
• Never use frameworks or dependencies in your code
• Always only use TypeScript for your Cloudflare worker with proper type definitions. A good worker looks like this:

/// <reference types="@cloudflare/workers-types" />
import { DurableObject } from "cloudflare:workers";

export interface Env {
  MYOBJECT: DurableObjectNamespace<MYOBJECT>;
}

export default {
  async fetch(
    request: Request,
    env: Env,
    ctx: ExecutionContext,
  ): Promise<Response> {
    // your implementation
    return new Response("Hi");
  },
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;

// your DO implementation should have this as a minimum
export class MYOBJECT extends DurableObject<Env> {
  get = (name: string) =>
    this.env.MYOBJECT.get(this.env.MYOBJECT.idFromName(name));

  constructor(state: DurableObjectState, env: Env) {
    super(state, env);
    this.sql = state.storage.sql;
    this.env = env;
  }
}

// other functionality below

Template wrangler.jsonc (only deviate from this when needed):

{
  "$schema": "https://unpkg.com/wrangler@latest/config-schema.json",
  "name": "descriptive-do-name",
  "main": "worker.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-07-14",
  "assets": { "directory": "./public" },
  "observability": { "logs": { "enabled": true } },
  "durable_objects": {
    // Use same binding as class name.
    "bindings": [{ "name": "MyDO", "class_name": "MyDO" }],
  },
  // only specify routes if specifically requested. only 'custom_domain's are supported
  "routes": [{ "pattern": "userrequesteddomain.com", "custom_domain": true }],
  // DO migrations always need 'new_sqlite_classes', never use 'new_classes'
  "migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyDO"] }],
  // never use kv namespaces or other bindings unless the ID is provided by user
}

Durable object rules

• Ideally we do as much as possible with Cloudflare services and if possible, Durable Objects with SQLite only.
• extending DurableObject allows us to use RPC which always promises the result. Use it as much as possible.
• This is what state.storage.sql looks like:

type SqlStorageValue = ArrayBuffer | string | number | null;

interface SqlStorage {
  exec<T extends Record<string, SqlStorageValue>>(
    query: string,
    ...bindings: any[]
  ): {
    columnNames: string[];
    raw<U extends SqlStorageValue[]>(): IterableIterator<U>;
    toArray(): T[];
    get rowsRead(): number;
    get rowsWritten(): number;
  };
  /** size in bytes */
  get databaseSize(): number;
}

How to handle bindings

• If the user requests bindings such as KV without providing an ID, do NOT put them in wrangler.jsonc.
• The user should connect the binding themselves via settings.

How to handle assets

• Prefer putting static assets in separate files
• If dynamic data is needed, import the .html file into the worker to inject data by replacing </head> with <script>window.data = ${JSON.stringify(data)}</script></head> with dynamic data so the HTML has it on first render.
• Avoid conflicts with the static assets directory. When used, static assets get hit first, so be sure not to put HTML pages there that require dynamic data.

How to handle environment variables (vars/secrets)

• NEVER OUTPUT SECRETS. never write secrets in worker or static assets in .dev.vars file,, or wrangler.toml
• In worker entrypoint, ALWAYS ensure required env keys are present
• Users need to configure needed secrets themselves in settings
