To deploy ShortFlare, you need a Cloudflare account with a D1 database and a Worker.
- Create D1 Database: Create a D1 database and add a table named
urls with two text columns: slug and destination. - Create Worker: Create a new Cloudflare Worker.
- Configure Environment Variables: In the Worker settings, add the following keys:
API_TOKEN: A secure token for managing URLs via API.NOT_FOUND_URL: The fallback URL for invalid slugs.TRACKING_API_TOKEN: A token for the analytics API.TRACKING_API_URL: The endpoint for tracking visits (e.g., https://your-frontend-url/api/worker/analytics).
- Bind Database: Bind the D1 database to the Worker using the variable name
DB. - Deploy Code: Replace the
index.js content with the provided ShortFlare worker implementation.
// Example of the core worker logic for handling redirects and API calls
export default {
async fetch(request, env) {
return await handleRequest(request, env);
},
};
async function handleRequest(request, env) {
const url = new URL(request.url);
const path = url.pathname;
if (path.startsWith("/api/")) {
const authHeader = request.headers.get("Authorization");
if (!authHeader || !authHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
}
const token = authHeader.split(" ")[1];
if (token !== env.API_TOKEN) {
return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
}
// API routing logic follows...
}
return handleRedirect(request, env);
}
