Deploy an existing static site

Workers Sites require Wrangler — make sure to use the latest version.

To deploy a pre-existing static site project, start with a pre-generated site. Workers Sites works with all static site generators, for example:

• Hugo
• Gatsby , requires Node
• Jekyll , requires Ruby
• Eleventy , requires Node
• WordPress (refer to the tutorial on deploying static WordPress sites with Pages)

​​ Getting started

1. Run the wrangler init command in the root of your project’s directory to generate a basic Worker:

   This command adds/update the following files:

   • wrangler.toml: The file containing project configuration.
   • package.json: Wrangler devDependencies are added.
   • tsconfig.json: Added if not already there to support writing the Worker in TypeScript.
   • src/index.ts: A basic Cloudflare Worker, written in TypeScript.

2. Add your site’s build/output directory to the wrangler.toml file:

   The default directories for the most popular static site generators are listed below:

   • Hugo: public
   • Gatsby: public
   • Jekyll: _site
   • Eleventy: _site

3. Install the @cloudflare/kv-asset-handler package in your project:

4. Replace the contents of src/index.ts with the following code snippet:

5. Run wrangler dev or npx wrangler deploy to preview or deploy your site on Cloudflare. Wrangler will automatically upload the assets found in the configured directory.

6. Deploy your site to a custom domain that you own and have already attached as a Cloudflare zone. Add a route property to the wrangler.toml file.
