Deploying to Cloudflare Workers

This guide walks you through deploying a Discord bot built with Dressed to Cloudflare Workers.

Deploying is the last step in building your bot, it will be where Discord can send interactions and events even when you're not developing it.

Setup

1. If you don't have a workers project yet, create a wrangler.jsonc file:

   {
     "name": "", // The name of your worker. Alphanumeric characters and dashes only
     "compatibility_date": "" // Today's date as: yyyy-mm-dd
   }

2. Add the following to your wrangler.jsonc:

   "main": "src/index.ts",
   "build": { "command": "dressed build" },
   "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"]

3. Create or update src/index.ts:

   // @ts-ignore Generated after build
   import { commands, components, events } from "../.dressed";
   import { handleRequest, setupCommands, setupComponents, setupEvents } from "dressed/server";
    
   export default {
     fetch: (req: Request, _env: never, ctx: { waitUntil: <T>(f: T) => T }) =>
       handleRequest(
         req,
         (...p) => ctx.waitUntil(setupCommands(commands)(...p)),
         (...p) => ctx.waitUntil(setupComponents(components)(...p)),
         (...p) => ctx.waitUntil(setupEvents(events)(...p))
       ),
   };

Environment variables

If you are creating a new project, you will need to upload the environment variables DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY, DISCORD_TOKEN, and DISCORD_APP_ID. Cloudflare documentation.

Here is an example of how you could add them:

• Development: .env file
• Production: bunx wrangler secret put <SECRET_NAME>

Upload

You now can upload it to Cloudflare however you like, either through linking to GitHub, or using the CLI:

bunx wrangler deploy

Your bot should now be accessible at <project>.<user>.workers.dev.
