i started the project from cloudflare pages -> selecting remixjs template last time

predaytorOP•5/11/25, 8:50 AM

yeah, it should be considered deprecated by now

0x146231489231923•5/11/25, 8:51 AM

i thought pages is newer than worker? based on their released date

0x146231489231923•5/11/25, 8:53 AM

worker released around 2017, pages around 2020

Cloudflare added pages exclusive features from pages (e.g. static assets) to workers by now, so there is afaik nothing in pages that worker can't do.
This makes pages superfluous

predaytorOP•5/11/25, 9:05 AM

it was newer, but workers supercedes it in most cases by now

nobrainer choice is to use workers now? it has the most resources and development support from cloudflare

Hi, have anyone been trying this new feature that generates correct types for bound services? I couldn't make it work with the version on pre-release channel.

https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/pull/9175

My command: wrangler types -c wrangler.jsonc -c ../services/auth/wrangler.jsoncwrangler types -c wrangler.jsonc -c ../services/auth/wrangler.jsonc

Still creates FetcherFetcher without import.

what does it mean for a worker to return a zip as response?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 1:29 PM

where does the zip go?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 1:30 PM

talking about this

LLordSilver what does it mean for a worker to return a zip as response?

sathoro•5/11/25, 1:54 PM

it would "go" to whatever requests that route and gets the zip response?

Ssathoro it would "go" to whatever requests that route and gets the zip response?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 2:10 PM

if i am the one calling the worker, would i pay for the time that it takes to download the zip?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 2:10 PM

could R2 receive the response? or you need to add the binding and write the file yourself?

sathoro•5/11/25, 2:11 PM

You are only billed for CPU time so no. Yes you can write streams to R2, but you need the binding in the worker.

LordSilver•5/11/25, 2:21 PM

i meant, u still need to set up the operation with the sdk, it's not like r2 will accept the lambda response like if it was a client

sathoro•5/11/25, 2:35 PM

... what? inside a worker it's 2 lines of code to upload it to R2. an SDK and lambda is not involved

sathoro•5/11/25, 2:36 PM

you can upload a response stream directly to R2

LordSilver•5/11/25, 4:53 PM

why jsonc is new the standard for wrangler?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 4:53 PM

in what way is it superior to toml?

Kotkoroid•5/11/25, 5:00 PM

Cleaner if you have more environments

LordSilver•5/11/25, 5:01 PM

can u show code snippets?

Kotkoroid•5/11/25, 5:02 PM

What do u mean

LordSilver•5/11/25, 5:05 PM

why so many warnings

SuperHelpflare•5/11/25, 5:09 PM

Cloudflare Workers (and Pages Functions) runs on the V8 JavaScript engine, the same one used in Google Chrome.

Workers is different from Node.js. This means that certain features built in to Node do not work in Workers and cannot be used.

These features are not available:
- any kind of filesystem, unless you use an in-memory polyfill
- incoming TCP connections (outgoing are available using the TCP Socket API)
- any kind of UDP connections, both incoming and outgoing

These features may be available with a polyfill or the
nodejs_compat
nodejs_compat
flag:
- some built-in Node modules, such as

path

path

buffer

buffer

, cryptocrypto, and others

i used teh code from the example

LordSilver•5/11/25, 5:16 PM

is this redundant?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 5:19 PM

mmm ok i deployed it

sathoro•5/11/25, 5:19 PM

toml gets absolutely disgusting very quickly lol

LordSilver•5/11/25, 5:41 PM

how is it possible the trace shows 23s, while the worker actually returned after 12s?

something is off

Hi, are alternative methods of reading local files in workers really that hard?

filyys•5/11/25, 6:55 PM

I'm not sure how to approach it as everything I try, doesn't work out

SuperHelpflare•5/11/25, 6:55 PM

Please do not post your question in multiple channels/post it multiple times per the rules at #

welcome-and-rules. It creates confusion for people trying to help you and doesn't get your issue or question solved any faster.

filyys•5/11/25, 6:56 PM

Sorry, I wasn't sure if my post was visible

filyys•5/11/25, 6:56 PM

Thanks for the answer though, it's definitely going to help

LordSilver•5/11/25, 7:00 PM

how can u enable JS rendering on browser rendering api for playwright?

LordSilver•5/11/25, 7:00 PM

i noticed it doesn't render the page if it requires JS

Lucas Delbel•5/11/25, 7:20 PM

Hello guys, does anyone have a suggestion on a fast and easy-to-implement solution to push notifications from the workers to the pages? Maybe a pub-sub, or websocket-based tool?

maguayo•5/12/25, 6:45 AM

I am aware Spain LaLiga blocks some Cloudflare IPs.. But do we have a list of blocks? If we had I could create a monitor checker or sometrhing to alert me.
