You could write a Pages Function to proxy some routes to another backend but that would increase latency and always bill you for Function invocations.

Isaac McFadyen•10/31/24, 9:37 PM

Oh I might have misunderstood. You want to disable that so it still hits the cache?

Exactly

If so there's a setting you can change in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Then change Caching Level to "Ignore Query String"

Isaac McFadyen

Isaac McFadyen•10/31/24, 9:38 PM

Keep in mind that will ignore all query string not just the incremental cache bust there.

Ya I thought about that but it kind of defeats why I wanted to use pages. Which is mostly to make it easy to understand and update for non technical users.

You could also create a Cache Rule that ignores a specific query string value but I believe it requires a Business plan

Mozzy

M

MozzyOP•10/31/24, 9:39 PM

Something I failed to show is that I do need to bust cache if other search params change

Isaac McFadyen

Yeah one sec then

MozzyOP•10/31/24, 9:39 PM

ahh

Isaac McFadyen

I

Isaac McFadyen•10/31/24, 9:40 PM

Unfortunately it requires Enterprise to exclude specific query params actually.

Mozzy

M

MozzyOP•10/31/24, 9:41 PM

would a rewrite middleware that only keeps certain params be enough then?

Mozzy

M

MozzyOP•10/31/24, 9:41 PM

Never done rewrites, so not sure it works

Isaac McFadyen

I

Isaac McFadyen•10/31/24, 9:42 PM

I believe that would work? Always hard to know because different kinds of Rules run in different orders and there's no real reference that I've seen

actual cache runs at the very end though, if the question is "can I use rules to modify what normal cache uses" pretty sure all of them work, transform headers at least def does

ok so I'm doing some research and I dont think i get it. is CF for SaaS basically nginx? I cant use workers/worker routes here? Do I have to get my own server that cloudflare can point to?

This seems to do the trick, however cursed it is

export const stripUnusedSearchParams = createMiddleware<{ Bindings: CloudflareBindings }>(async (c, next) => {
  const url = new URL(c.req.url);
  let foundInvalidSearchParams = false;

  for (const key of url.searchParams.keys()) {
    if (!validSearchParams.includes(key)) {
      url.searchParams.delete(key);
      foundInvalidSearchParams = true;
    }
  }

  if (foundInvalidSearchParams) {
    return c.redirect(url.searchParams.size ? `${url.pathname}?${url.searchParams}` : url.pathname, 302);
  }

  await next();
});

Hey, if I have a RPC Target like so

class Foo extends RpcTarget {
  async fetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
    return new Response('Hello!');
  }
}

class Foo extends RpcTarget {
  async fetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
    return new Response('Hello!');
  }
}

Is there anyway I can just return that response from my worker?

At the moment, I get a type error:

Type '{ clone: Stub<() => Response>; status: number; statusText: string; headers: { get: Stub<(name: string) => string | null>; getAll: Stub<(name: string) => string[]>; ... 9 more ...; [Symbol.iterator]: Stub<...>; }; ... 12 more ...; blob: Stub<...>; } & Disposable' is not assignable to type 'Response'.
  The types of 'clone(...).status' are incompatible between these types.
    Type 'Promise<number>' is not assignable to type 'number'.ts(2322)

Does the

url

field of the draw object need to be a URL, or can it be an image object/blob? I have a second Worker that generates images, to be used as layers in an overlay, but I need to fetch the images to get dimensions before they're drawn as the overlay

You can draw additional images on top of a resized image, with transparency and blending effects. This enables adding of watermarks, logos, signatures, vignettes, and other effects to resized images.

On that same topic, does anyone know how the TCP connection is reused in that example?

They don't seem to be creating a connection explicitly. Is that part handled by hyperdrive?

As far as I can tell it's still a preview feature:

Looks like

actually is supported though.

I don't have a link, but I also came across a GitHub issue where people were having some issues with using it on workers, so I haven't determined if it's a feasible option yet.

TravisTravis

T

TravisTravis•11/4/24, 7:04 PM

I'm considering using drizzle instead, simply because it has edge support, I'd prefer to use prisma if it works well.
