ززين Express

Hello, I’m Allie!•12/3/23, 6:57 PM

You can’t host an Express app on Cloudflare, so that might be why

U sure?

ززين U sure?

zegevlier•12/4/23, 1:37 PM

Not directly at least. You would need to modify it to use another router such as Hono instead of express

zegevlier•12/4/23, 1:38 PM

Also, asking "U sure?" makes it sound like you know something that says the opposite, which I don't believe is the case here

I saw a couple people using express to host but no tutorial found just making sure

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:41 PM

Is it the same?

zegevlier•12/4/23, 1:43 PM

No, it's something else?

zegevlier•12/4/23, 1:43 PM

Hono is similar to express, but it's a different library

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:43 PM

Similar tho

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:43 PM

Same things it hosts a web right?

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

Any docs?

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

For both making a hono web app and hosting it in cloudflare

ززين Any docs?

zegevlier•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

Have you tried looking for them?

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

For cloudflare hosting yes

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

But hono no

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

Yeah mb i should have looked for the hono docs

zegevlier•12/4/23, 1:44 PM

We're happy to help you here if you have any issues, but we can't do everything for you

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:45 PM

Yes i understand that thank you

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:45 PM

Any docs to host a hono app on cloudflare?

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:45 PM

Ill search for hono

زينOP•12/4/23, 1:48 PM

@zegevlier hono is for ts i want to host a js app

Hello, I’m Allie!•12/4/23, 1:54 PM

TS is transpiled to JS, so it will still work

gralzer•12/4/23, 6:03 PM

Hello, I have a couple questions. Would be great if someone could answer these because I really cant find a solution to this.

Is using mailchannels the currently easiest way to send email from a statically deployed next.js website contact form?
Where can I get the cfid if I am not using workers but CF functions?
How can I test my implementation before deploying it to production? I am currently testing on my x.pages.dev site before assigning my domain with the domain lockdown dns record to it.

I mean any of them would just be an API call so not really the "easiest" but I think the only one with a predefined plugin so
The error message should tell you but it should be
```
x.pages.dev
```
```
x.pages.dev
```
or
```
yourdomain.com
```
```
yourdomain.com
```
You should be able to test while its on
```
x.pages.dev
```
```
x.pages.dev
```
but you wouldnt be able to test it locally since the request needs to come from a CF worker

gralzer•12/4/23, 6:24 PM

Thanks, I will try it.

Typescript is converted to JavaScript when compiling/transpiling. Anything that will work in Typescript will work in JavaScript as well.

Isaac McFadyen•12/4/23, 7:12 PM

So you can just use Hono with JS fine

gralzer•12/4/23, 8:40 PM

I just cant wrap my head around this... I copied the entire script from the cloudflare documentation. While building my site it acknowledges that I have a function, I can also see it in functions section of my page as the _middleware.ts:onRequest when I submit the simple form I copied from the documentation, I cant see anything in my network tab, it just doesnt work

Hey all, I have a quick question about setting up my dev environment. I'm working with Pages Functions in TypeScript through VSCode and I was wondering if there is any method to get syntax highlighting / autocomplete for the top level

onRequest

onRequest

onRequestGet

onRequestGet

/... functions?

Hello, I’m Allie!•12/6/23, 6:44 PM

You can type it with

PagesFunction

PagesFunction

HHello, I’m Allie!You can type it with `PagesFunction`?

Fenix•12/6/23, 7:05 PM

To get the correct param/return types yes, but I mean to get top level autocomplete for the function name itself i.e. type onReq -> see options for onRequest/onRequestGet/etc. for 'naming safety' if that makes sense?

Fenix•12/6/23, 7:06 PM

Basically to auto-complete the options of the Functions API itself https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/functions/api-reference/

Hello, I’m Allie!•12/6/23, 7:07 PM

Oh, then no

Fenix•12/6/23, 7:08 PM

Ah, well, thanks for the confirmation either way
