Is there a way to get a webhook from the cloudflare page deploy so that I can get a status on the build eg. linked to a discord channel?

To be clear, I’d love a way to get a call back immediately when deploy stats, and when it ends. Is that possible? i could easily do that with GH pages to Discord so I wonder if it is possible with CF

Hi all, is it possible to deploy your Nuxt 3 app (with server directory, so the official back-end implementation) to Cloudflare Pages? I've seen a guide (https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/framework-guides/deploy-a-nuxt-site/), but I had thought of Cloudflare Pages as a "front-end only" solution?

Is there any reason you couldn't create a serverless email server using cloudflare pages and D1? I'm trying to see if there'd be a technical limitation anywhere or a policy limiting you from doing it but I can't find anything from my brief search since thinking about the idea.

Something that behaves like a traditional email server is probably the easiest way of putting it. At minimum be able to store emails from email workers and then serve them to a mail client using IMAP, I'm less sure if the reverse operation is possible of taking a mail client request to send an email and then sending it from that email address.

has anyone here deployed an astrojs application to pages?
there are two ways to define api endpoints. astro has built in way. you just define a js file in your pages directory and it becomes an endpoint on your server.
like so:

/project
  /src
    /pages
      /api
        /endpoint.json.ts

/project
  /src
    /pages
      /api
        /endpoint.json.ts

cloudflare handles this fine. from my webpage i can execute the function with

fetch('/api/endpoint.json')

fetch('/api/endpoint.json')

but when i try the 'cloudflare way' of defining a function:

/project
  /functions
    /api
      /helloworld.ts
  /src
    /pages
      /endpoint.json.ts

/project
  /functions
    /api
      /helloworld.ts
  /src
    /pages
      /endpoint.json.ts

i cannot reach it from my webpage with

fetch('/api/helloworld')

fetch('/api/helloworld')

. i get a 404. however i can reach it fine when running locally with wrangler

Erisa

E

Erisa•8/25/23, 10:45 PM

I have, I do them what you call the "cloudflare way" https://github.com/Erisa/erisa.uk/tree/main/functions
Note that functions needs to be in the root directory of the project, which it is in that case right?

Fizzy Kombucha

F

Fizzy Kombucha•8/25/23, 10:47 PM

yes my cloudflare way looks like this:

/root-project
  /functions
    /api    
      helloworld.ts

/root-project
  /functions
    /api    
      helloworld.ts

i can see in my dashboard that the helloworld function did indeed deploy. it's just that i get a 404 when trying to

fetch

fetch

it from my webpage:

fetch('/api/helloworld')

fetch('/api/helloworld')

it's weird how you use the regular page function way and it works for you, but i use both and only the astro way works

If you look at the routing configuration, astro is capturing

/:path

/:path

and routing all requests through it - this likely is taking priority over your own function

that's good to know. i was a little sad i thought i had to use SSR. all of the tutorials (cloudflare and astro) mention having to use the astro-cloudflare plugin which seems to turn your project into SSR

I did some more careful reading and building sample projects. And either there is a bug or cloudflare needs to update their documentation about deploying an astro site. My observations:

if you deploy an astro site using the astro cloudflare plugin (SSR), you cannot use the /functions directory. you must use astro endpoints
if you deploy astro static site (don't use astro cloudflare plugin), you can use the /functions directory

no where in the official documentation does it clearly mention this. either in cloudflare docs or astro docs:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/framework-guides/deploy-an-astro-site/
https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/cloudflare/

replicate the issue with SSR:

pnpm create astro@latest # choose basic site, accept defaults
cd yourproject
pnpm run astro add cloudflare
# open astro.config.js and modify adapter line to look like this:
#   adapter: cloudflare({mode: "directory"})
mkdir functions
touch functions/hello.js
# add code to hello.js
# add code to a src/pages/index.astro to call to hello function.
# maybe add a button so when you click it calls fetch('/hello')
# run project locally:
wrangler pages dev -- npm run dev
# click button and you will see the function is called successfully
# now push your project up to github. and connect cloudflare to github repo, deploy it.
# you will see that you get a 404 when it tries to fetch('/hello')

pnpm create astro@latest # choose basic site, accept defaults
cd yourproject
pnpm run astro add cloudflare
# open astro.config.js and modify adapter line to look like this:
#   adapter: cloudflare({mode: "directory"})
mkdir functions
touch functions/hello.js
# add code to hello.js
# add code to a src/pages/index.astro to call to hello function.
# maybe add a button so when you click it calls fetch('/hello')
# run project locally:
wrangler pages dev -- npm run dev
# click button and you will see the function is called successfully
# now push your project up to github. and connect cloudflare to github repo, deploy it.
# you will see that you get a 404 when it tries to fetch('/hello')

both astro and cloudflare docs need to be updated to make this limitation clear IMO. the cloudfare docs make it seem as though you can use the functions directory while using SSR but this is not the case. (unless i'm doing something wrong)
