Dashboard

Follow this guide to create a Workers application using the Cloudflare dashboard.

Try the Playground

The quickest way to experiment with Cloudflare Workers is in the Playground ↗. The Playground does not require any setup. It is an instant way to preview and test a Worker directly in the browser.

Prerequisites

Create a Cloudflare account, if you have not already.

Setup

To get started with a new Workers application:

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Workers & Pages page.

   Go to Workers & Pages

2. Select Create application. From here, you can:

   • Select from the gallery of production-ready templates
   • Import an existing Git repository on your own account
   • Let Cloudflare clone and bootstrap a public repository containing a Workers application.

3. Once you have connected to your chosen Git provider, configure your project and select Deploy.

4. Cloudflare will kick off a new build and deployment. Once deployed, preview your Worker at its provided workers.dev subdomain.

Continue development

Applications started in the dashboard are set up with Git to help kickstart your development workflow. To continue developing on your repository, you can run:

# clone you repository locally
git clone <git repo URL>

# be sure you are in the root directory
cd <directory>

Now, you can preview and test your changes by running Wrangler in your local development environment. Once you are ready to deploy you can run:

# adds the files to git tracking
git add .

# commits the changes
git commit -m "your message"

# push the changes to your Git provider
git push origin main
