Yeah thought that was the case, hopefully nevika can help as I might be able to launch this weekend

Agreed here! Even if a quick hack to allow paid accounts to have larger limits would be super helpful.

Any ETA on being able to run next startnext start to gain ISR functionality in our Nextjs apps? Thanks

Aiden•5/21/22, 1:10 PM

Is there anyway to download a zip of a pages build? Not sure why some assets aren't serving

want to look at the bundle that pages is using, because it's fine when I build locally.

do you mean ssr? if so then you need to wait till next supports cf pages and not the other way around

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:37 PM

We can use next buildnext build and next exportnext export but we can't use next startnext start because there is no node env to run with CF Pages.

Do you know of a way to write content to disk and keep it there, after build? Or is CF Pages filesystem ephemeral like Heroku?

Thanks

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:38 PM

Also, anyone know the env URL & Port for fetching from functions during build? thanks

kian•5/21/22, 3:39 PM

next startnext start will never work since Pages isn't made for you to start your own server anyways

kavinplays•5/21/22, 3:39 PM

i don't think that you understand how pages works, when you do next build and next export, you write content to kv and save it there

kian•5/21/22, 3:40 PM

Anything you do in the build process & write to your output folder will be available when deployed but not for you to fetch in any manner like fsfs

kavinplays•5/21/22, 3:40 PM

you can use functions to store content in kv i think

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:47 PM

interesting. so CF Pages is writing to KV by default? or is this something we have to do during the build?

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:48 PM

yeah, if I have the mental model wrong for how all this is supposed to work, no goody

kian•5/21/22, 3:49 PM

build command -> throws stuff to /output-folder/output-folder -> /output-folder/output-folder contents are deployed globally (KV)

kian•5/21/22, 3:49 PM

if present, /functions/functions folder -> built into a Worker -> ditto, deployed

kian•5/21/22, 3:50 PM

vastly simplified but you get the idea

kian•5/21/22, 3:50 PM

there is no environment for your own 'server' as such - just Workers & KV

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:51 PM

so we can write to global output folder after build then?

kian•5/21/22, 3:51 PM

There is no 'folder' after the build process is done

kian•5/21/22, 3:51 PM

The KV is abstracted away from you

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:52 PM

ah ha, ok, abstracted away

kian•5/21/22, 3:52 PM

Any dynamic functionality you want after building your static assets has to be done with Functions

kian•5/21/22, 3:52 PM

so you could have your own KV, sure

kian•5/21/22, 3:52 PM

https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/functions/#kv-namespace

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:52 PM

client creates new URL, content at URL is stored in KV, Function retrieves that content to serve new page back to client

kian•5/21/22, 3:53 PM

If that's how you want your site to work, sure

kian•5/21/22, 3:53 PM

Functions are only required if you want dynamic content

kian•5/21/22, 3:53 PM

If you just have static pages and assets, the build process handles everything

kian•5/21/22, 3:53 PM

i.e your site has something where users can make their own blog posts - you could store that content in KV & have a function for your /posts/posts page that fetches them all & renders them

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:54 PM

yes, it is a dynamic site, and now I am at a junction, deciding if I keep with CF pages or try deploying to a different platform where next startnext start and ISR/SSR work out of the box

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:57 PM

thanks for the info, at a crossroads here.

One more question please. During the build, is there a way to access Functions?

next buildnext build can call getStaticProps during build, and I've got those queries in Functions right now, works fine in dev env using http://localhost:8788

kian•5/21/22, 3:58 PM

Functions are built in the build process so not that I am aware of - but I've also never used nextnext in my life (or any JS framework really) so someone else might have a solution to that problem

Kkian Functions are built in the build process so not that I am aware of - but I've al...

alphaβiota | Ekonavi•5/21/22, 3:59 PM

ok, thank you

Isaac McFadyenOP•5/21/22, 4:00 PM

There's not because at the point of the build the Functions don't yet exist.

kian•5/21/22, 4:00 PM

Your Functions folder is built into a Worker and then deployed alongside your Pages project in general - although I think some frameworks just turn it into a _worker.js_worker.js

Isaac McFadyenOP•5/21/22, 4:00 PM

What you can do is run some Javascript as part of your build step.

Kkian Your Functions folder is built into a Worker and then deployed alongside your Pa...

Isaac McFadyenOP•5/21/22, 4:01 PM

Yeah, SvelteKit does that. Next.JS isn't support yet though

Still the case but by the time Functions go GA (general availability, out of beta basically) it will
