Cloudflare Wrangler

👩 💻 Developing

wrangler dev

src/index.ts calls the request handler in src/handler.ts, and will return the request method for the given request.

🧪 Testing

This template comes with jest tests which simply test that the request handler can handle each request method. npm test will run your tests.

👀 Previewing and Publishing

wrangler preview wrangler publish

For information on how to preview and publish your worker, please see the Wrangler docs.

Private repos

In order to work with private repos you need to set GITHUB_TOKEN variable to your wrangler.toml file. You can create a personal access token here, create it with the repo permissions.

Reuse any available types if possible

Proxy release files through worker

Intent

Enable private Github repos to provide Tauri's updater with the necessary update files. Right now a Github-authenticated worker can get the necessary release information, but the Tauri client can't access the files.

Security is outside the scope of this issue and depends on updates with Tauri: tauri-apps/tauri#3896

Questions / Considerations

• Limitations with workers? Bandwidth, CPU etc.
  As far as I can tell, there aren't any Cloudflare limits that affect this use case.

Implementation

• Create a route, /latest/$filename. This route gets the latest release from the repo, filters assets by file name, requests the file, and feeds the request as the response.
• Change the response to Tauri's updater request from the github file url to the proxied route. We can base this off of a defined GITHUB_SECRET for now, or add an additional flag.

Investigate adding 1-click deploy button
