Start from scratch

To start from scratch to create a Workers Site, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have the latest version of Wrangler and Node.js installed.

2. In your terminal run wrangler generate --site <project-name>, replacing <project-name> with the name of your project. For example, I’ll create a project called my-site by running this command:

   $ wrangler generate --site my-site

   This command creates the following:

   • public: The static assets for your project. By default it contains an index.html and a favicon.ico.
   • workers-site: The JavaScript for serving your assets. You don’t need to edit this- but if you want to see how it works or add more functionality to your Worker, you can edit workers-site/index.js.
   • wrangler.toml: Your configuration file. You’ll configure your account and project information here.

3. Add your account_id your wrangler.toml. You can find your account_id on the right sidebar of the Workers or Overview Dashboard. Note: You may need to scroll down! For more details on finding your account_id visit Getting started.

4. You can preview your site by running:

   $ wrangler preview --watch

5. Decide where you’d like to publish your site to: a workers.dev subdomain or your personal domain registered with Cloudflare.

   Then, update your wrangler.toml:

   Personal Domain: Add your zone_id and a route.

   zone_id = "42ef.."route = "example.com/*"

   workers.dev: Set workers_dev to true. This is the default.

6. Run:

   $ wrangler publish
