Configuration
Wrangler optionally uses a wrangler.toml
configuration file to customize the development and deployment setup for a Worker.
It is best practice to treat wrangler.toml
as the source of truth for configuring a Worker.
Sample wrangler.toml
configuration
Environments
The configuration for a Worker can become complex when you define different environments, and each environment has its own configuration. There is a default (top-level) environment and named environments that provide environment-specific configuration.
These are defined under [env.name]
keys, such as [env.staging]
which you can then preview or deploy with the -e
/ --env
flag in the wrangler
commands like npx wrangler deploy --env staging
.
The majority of keys are inheritable, meaning that top-level configuration can be used in environments. Bindings, such as vars
or kv_namespaces
, are not inheritable and need to be defined explicitly.
Further, there are a few keys that can only appear at the top-level.
Top-level only keys
Top-level keys apply to the Worker as a whole (and therefore all environments). They cannot be defined within named environments.
-

boolean optional- Whether Wrangler should keep variables configured in the dashboard on deploy. Refer to source of truth.

Example:
Bundling
Wrangler can operate in two modes: the default bundling mode and --no-bundle
mode.
In bundling mode, Wrangler will traverse all the imports of your code and generate a single JavaScript “entry-point” file.
Imported source code is “inlined/bundled” into this entry-point file.
It is also possible to include additional modules into your Worker, which are uploaded alongside the entry-point.
You specify which additional modules should be included into your Worker using the rules
key, making these modules available to be imported when your Worker is invoked.
The rules
key will be an array of the below object.
-
type
string required- The type of module. Must be one of:
ESModule
,CommonJS
,CompiledWasm
,Text
orData
.
- The type of module. Must be one of:
-

["**/*.md"]
). Refer to glob ↗.
- An array of glob rules (for example,
-
fallthrough
boolean optional- When set to
true
on a rule, this allows you to have multiple rules for the sameType
.
- When set to
Example:
Importing modules within a Worker
You can import and refer to these modules within your Worker, like so:
Find additional modules
Normally Wrangler will only include additional modules that are statically imported in your source code as in the example above.
By setting find_additional_modules
to true
in your configuration file, Wrangler will traverse the file tree below base_dir
.
Any files that match rules
will also be included as unbundled, external modules in the deployed Worker.
base_dir
defaults to the directory containing your main
entrypoint.
See https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/bundling/ ↗ for more details and examples.
Local development settings
You can configure various aspects of local development, such as the local protocol or port.
ip

Example:
Secrets
Secrets are a type of binding that allow you to attach encrypted text values to your Worker.
When developing your Worker or Pages Function, create a .dev.vars
file in the root of your project to define secrets that will be used when running wrangler dev
or wrangler pages dev
, as opposed to using environment variables in wrangler.toml
. This works both in local and remote development modes.
The .dev.vars
file should be formatted like a dotenv
file, such as KEY="VALUE"
:
You can set secrets per environment by creating additional files with the naming convention .dev.vars.<environment-name>
. Like other environment variables, secrets are non-inheritable and must be defined per environment.
Module Aliasing
You can configure Wrangler to replace all calls to import a particular package with a module of your choice, by configuring the alias
field:
With the configuration above, any calls to import
or require()
the module foo
will be aliased to point to your replacement module:
Example: Aliasing dependencies from NPM
You can use module aliasing to provide an implementation of an NPM package that does not work on Workers — even if you only rely on that NPM package indirectly, as a dependency of one of your Worker’s dependencies.
For example, some NPM packages depend on node-fetch
↗, a package that provided a polyfill of the fetch()
API, before it was built into Node.js.
node-fetch
isn’t needed in Workers, because the fetch()
API is provided by the Workers runtime. And node-fetch
doesn’t work on Workers, because it relies on currently unsupported Node.js APIs from the http
/https
modules.
You can alias all imports of node-fetch
to instead point directly to the fetch()
API that is built into the Workers runtime:
Example: Aliasing Node.js APIs
You can use module aliasing to provide your own polyfill implementation of a Node.js API that is not yet available in the Workers runtime.
For example, let’s say the NPM package you rely on calls fs.readFile
↗. You can alias the fs module by adding the following to your Worker’s wrangler.toml:
In many cases, this allows you to work provide just enough of an API to make a dependency work. You can learn more about Cloudflare Workers’ support for Node.js APIs on the Cloudflare Workers Node.js API documentation page.
Source maps
Source maps translate compiled and minified code back to the original code that you wrote. Source maps are combined with the stack trace returned by the JavaScript runtime to present you with a stack trace.

Proxy support
Corporate networks will often have proxies on their networks and this can sometimes cause connectivity issues. To configure Wrangler with the appropriate proxy details, use the below environmental variables:
https_proxy
HTTPS_PROXY
http_proxy
HTTP_PROXY
To configure this on macOS, add HTTP_PROXY=http://<YOUR_PROXY_HOST>:<YOUR_PROXY_PORT>
before your Wrangler commands.
Example:
If your IT team has configured your computer’s proxy settings, be aware that the first non-empty environment variable in this list will be used when Wrangler makes outgoing requests.
For example, if both https_proxy
and http_proxy
are set, Wrangler will only use https_proxy
for outgoing requests.
Source of truth
We recommend treating your wrangler.toml
file as the source of truth for your Worker configuration, and to avoid making changes to your Worker via the Cloudflare dashboard if you are using Wrangler.
If you need to make changes to your Worker from the Cloudflare dashboard, the dashboard will generate a TOML snippet for you to copy into your wrangler.toml
file, which will help ensure your wrangler.toml
file is always up to date.
If you change your environment variables in the Cloudflare dashboard, Wrangler will override them the next time you deploy. If you want to disable this behavior, add keep_vars = true
to your wrangler.toml
.
If you change your routes in the dashboard, Wrangler will override them in the next deploy with the routes you have set in your wrangler.toml
. To manage routes via the Cloudflare dashboard only, remove any route and routes keys from your wrangler.toml
file. Then add workers_dev = false
to your wrangler.toml
file. For more information, refer to Deprecations.
Wrangler will not delete your secrets (encrypted environment variables) unless you run wrangler secret delete <key>
