when creating a new cf project using cli

npm create cloudflare@latest

npm create cloudflare@latest

npm create cloudflare@latest

npm create cloudflare@latest at what point should I set/configure/press button/do something to select worker instead of pages project?

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 9:38 AM

in other words how does one control what (workers or pages) the project ends up as when creating a cloudflare project?

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 9:50 AM

so I created a project using above command and selecting a framework and got the logs as in the attached image that says compiled worker successfullycompiled worker successfully and I thought it was a worker project

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 9:51 AM

however when I run

wrangler dev

wrangler dev

I got the following error: ✘ [ERROR] It looks like you've run a Workers-specific command in a Pages project.✘ [ERROR] It looks like you've run a Workers-specific command in a Pages project.

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 9:51 AM

is pages and workers are names for the category that describes architecture of how the project was built?

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 9:53 AM

I know immediate response most likely be like everything is in the docseverything is in the docs but still struggling to understand what the difference is. my goal now is to try to deploy a small web app using cloudflare workers

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 9:53 AM

workers because that is what better-auth seems to support and not available in the pages

which framework? some frameworks need you to pass in an experimental flag (npm create cloudflare@latest -- --experimental), while some you can just choose workers or pages after you select the framework. it probably *is *easiest to look in the docs for the framework you're trying to use, they have the relevant command at the top

bkyervOP•3/18/25, 10:31 AM

astro

Wonky Onion•3/18/25, 10:32 AM

yeah that needs the flag - npm create cloudflare@latest my-astro-app -- --framework=astro --experimental

is it possible to setup a wildcard based route for an email worker? The e-mail address i need to process is like "test+123123@something.com" where 123123 can change

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:02 PM

yep, looks like it, even the + character is not supported

Ashley•3/18/25, 2:09 PM

You can setup a catch-all though, so it would catch all email sent to your domain - no idea if the catch-all catches wildcards with +’s, but perhaps an option

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:17 PM

so i'm using az e-mail provider already(zoho mail) and if i setup a catch-all in cloudflare, that won't affect my other already working e-mail addresses?

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:24 PM

yes, the point is that i'm trying to process the e-mail with code and the e-mail address woudl contain the user id

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:24 PM

so trying to find an easy way to do that, email workers seemed like a good option

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/18/25, 2:25 PM

Would it work if you put it on a subdomain?

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:25 PM

i think you can't setup catch-all for subdomains, on cloudflare at least

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:25 PM

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/18/25, 2:28 PM

What if you set a forward in Zoho, toward a subdomain? So forward to auto@sub.doma.in?

damn, turns out theres webhook support in zoho mail itself

Chaika•3/18/25, 2:32 PM

You can use a wildcard catch-all, and then parse the email address out

Ppeterviszt i think you can't setup catch-all for subdomains, on cloudflare at least

Chaika•3/18/25, 2:33 PM

Catch-all would apply to subdomains but you can't configure per subdomain, if that makes sense. You could just add a subdomain and not your root domain to email routing, or just handle it all through a worker

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:34 PM

but if i enable catch-all, i need to update the mx records to cloudflare's server, no? In that case i would lose access to Zoho Mail.

Chaika•3/18/25, 2:36 PM

If you wanted emails for your apex/root (email@domain.com) to go to Cloudflare, yea you'd have to pick one or the other. Could just use a subdomain though (email@sub.domain.com)

Chaika•3/18/25, 2:37 PM

that's a limitation in just how email works

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:39 PM

subdomain would be fine, but it says "Subdomains are dependent on domain. If domain is disabled, subdomains will be disabled too." on the email routing settings screen(where it displays what MX records i need to setup)

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:40 PM

or i should just ignore that and set up the cloudflare mx records for a subdomain?

Ppeterviszt subdomain would be fine, but it says "Subdomains are dependent on domain. If dom...

Chaika•3/18/25, 2:45 PM

annoyingly that's still wrong in the ui. It's indeed not true, just tested again now, you can receive mail on subdomains without enabling the domain itself

Chaika•3/18/25, 2:45 PM

you can just add a subdomain under Email routing settings, it'll do the records for you

Hebilicious•3/18/25, 2:48 PM

Hello, does anyone knows if I can install a non js dependency in Workers Build ? I tried adding a build variable

UNSTABLE_PRE_BUILD
curl -fsSL https://d2lang.com/install.sh | sh -s --

UNSTABLE_PRE_BUILD
curl -fsSL https://d2lang.com/install.sh | sh -s --

but it's not working like it did with Pages before
Edit : Figured it out, using

SKIP_DEPENDENCY_INSTALL

SKIP_DEPENDENCY_INSTALL

and modifying the build command to install and export the PATH before running the js deps install and build works, altough not very ergonomic.

peterviszt•3/18/25, 2:53 PM

So basically i setup a subdomain with cloudflare MX, setup catch-all and since the MX is only on the subdomain, it will only catch-all the subdomain email address, which then i can forward to a worker. In theory this could work.

An EmailEvent is the event type to programmatically process your emails with a Worker. You can reject, forward, or drop emails according to the logic you construct in your Worker.

peterviszt•3/18/25, 7:41 PM

I can only see reject, forward or reply. I just don't want to do anything with it. Just return false from the worker?

Chaika•3/18/25, 7:42 PM

I believe if you just do nothing it would get "dropped". Worth noting the dashboard shows all emails handled by Workers as "dropped" regardless of what you do with it

Chaika•3/18/25, 7:42 PM

there's no return

When I added a custom domain to my CF worker It changes host name in the browser URL. Url for my worker is https://wf-worker.support-c31.workers.dev/ However, I have added this custom domain wfweb.whoisfreaks.com. Attached is an image of worker code. PLease look into this issue.

Hard@Work•3/18/25, 9:25 PM

I'm not sure I understand what the issue is. Can you try explaining a bit deeper?

Keebs•3/18/25, 9:25 PM

anyone know if i can run wrangler with astro so it rebuilds on dev?

Usama Shabbir•3/18/25, 9:29 PM

@Hard@Work Previously, I have 3 application two of them are dynamic and one is static and all three of them were on a single domain. Now I want to use CF pages for my static website. and two application remains intact. Then I have added subdomains for other two applications and used a worker to route traffic to all three applications but issue is that my CF worker is changing host.

When I type

https://wfweb.whoisfreaks.com/tools/whois/lookup

https://wfweb.whoisfreaks.com/tools/whois/lookup

ideally this url remains same in the browser but it changes to

https://tools-cf-worker.whoisfreaks.com/tools/whois/lookup

https://tools-cf-worker.whoisfreaks.com/tools/whois/lookup

Usama Shabbir•3/18/25, 9:31 PM

@Hard@Work my worker works fine with it's original URl

https://wf-worker.support-c31.workers.dev/

https://wf-worker.support-c31.workers.dev/

IN this case when I go to

https://wf-worker.support-c31.workers.dev/tools/whois/lookup

https://wf-worker.support-c31.workers.dev/tools/whois/lookup

my host does not changes. This issue occurs when I add a custom domain to that worker.
