Template: worker-rust

A template for kick starting a Cloudflare worker project using workers-rs.

This template is designed for compiling Rust to WebAssembly and publishing the resulting worker to Cloudflare's edge infrastructure.

Setup

To create a my-project directory using this template, run:

$ npm init cloudflare my-project worker-rust
# or
$ yarn create cloudflare my-project worker-rust
# or
$ pnpm create cloudflare my-project worker-rust

Note: Each command invokes create-cloudflare for project creation.

Usage

This template starts you off with a src/lib.rs file, acting as an entrypoint for requests hitting your Worker. Feel free to add more code in this file, or create Rust modules anywhere else for this project to use.

With wrangler, you can build, test, and deploy your Worker with the following commands:

# run your Worker in an ideal development workflow (with a local server, file watcher & more)
$ npm run dev

# deploy your Worker globally to the Cloudflare network (update your wrangler.toml file for configuration)
$ npm run deploy

WebAssembly

workers-rs (the Rust SDK for Cloudflare Workers used in this template) is meant to be executed as compiled WebAssembly, and as such so must all the code you write and depend upon. All crates and modules used in Rust-based Workers projects have to compile to the wasm32-unknown-unknown triple.

Read more about this on the workers-rs project README.

Issues

If you have any problems with the worker crate, please open an issue on the upstream project issue tracker on the workers-rs repository.
