Build your project (if applicable). This command looks at your wrangler.toml
file and reacts to the "type"
value specified.
When using type = "webpack"
, Wrangler will build the Worker using its internal webpack installation. When using type = "javascript"
, the build.command
, if defined, will run.
--env
optional- If defined, Wrangler will load the matching environment’s configuration before building. Refer to Environments for more information.
Authorize Wrangler with your Cloudflare account. This will open a login page in your browser and request your account access permissions. This command is the alternative to wrangler config
and it uses OAuth tokens.
All of the arguments and flags to this command are optional:
--scopes-list
optional- List all the available OAuth scopes with descriptions.
--scopes $SCOPES
optional- Allows to choose your set of OAuth scopes. The set of scopes must be entered in a whitespace-separated list,
for example,
wrangler login --scopes account:read user:read
.
- Allows to choose your set of OAuth scopes. The set of scopes must be entered in a whitespace-separated list,
for example,
wrangler login
uses all the available scopes by default if no flags are provided.
Remove Wrangler’s authorization for accessing your account. This command will invalidate your current OAuth token and delete the configuration file, if present.
This command only invalidates OAuth tokens acquired through the wrangler login
command. However, it will try to delete the configuration file regardless of your authorization method.
If you wish to delete your API token, log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and go to Overview > Get your API token in the right side menu > select the three-dot menu on your Wrangler token and select Delete if you wish to delete your API token.
Configure Wrangler so that it may acquire a Cloudflare API Token or Global API key, instead of OAuth tokens, in order to access and manage account resources.
--api-key
optional- To provide your email and global API key instead of a token. (This is not recommended for security reasons.)
You can also use environment variables to authenticate, or wrangler login
to authorize with OAuth tokens.
Publish your Worker to Cloudflare. Several keys in your wrangler.toml
file determine whether you are publishing to a *.workers.dev
subdomain or a custom domain. However, custom domains must be proxied (orange-clouded) through Cloudflare. Refer to the Get started guide for more information.
--env
optional- If defined, Wrangler will load the matching environment’s configuration before building and deploying. Refer to Environments for more information.
To use this command, the following fields are required in your wrangler.toml
file:
-
name
string- The name of the Workers project. This is both the directory name and
name
property in the generatedwrangler.toml
configuration file.
- The name of the Workers project. This is both the directory name and
-
type
string- The type of project; one of
webpack
,javascript
, orrust
.
- The type of project; one of
-
account_id
string- The Cloudflare account ID. This can be found in the Cloudflare dashboard, for example,

.
- The Cloudflare account ID. This can be found in the Cloudflare dashboard, for example,
You can publish to <your-worker>.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev ↗ or to a custom domain.
When you publish changes to an existing Worker script, all new requests will automatically route to the updated version of the Worker without downtime. Any inflight requests will continue running on the previous version until completion. Once all inflight requests have finished complete, the previous Worker version will be purged and will no longer handle requests.
To publish to *.workers.dev
↗, you will first need to have a subdomain registered. You can register a subdomain by executing the wrangler subdomain
command.
After you have registered a subdomain, add workers_dev
to your wrangler.toml
file.
workers_dev
bool- When
true
, indicates that the Worker should be deployed to a*.workers.dev
domain.
- When
To publish to your own domain, specify these three fields in your wrangler.toml
file.
-
zone_id
string- The Cloudflare zone ID, for example,
zone_id = "b6558acaf2b4cad1f2b51c5236a6b972"
, which can be found in the Cloudflare dashboard ↗.
- The Cloudflare zone ID, for example,
-
route

To publish your code to multiple domains, refer to the documentation for environments.
wrangler dev
is a command that establishes a connection between localhost
and a global network server that operates your Worker in development. A cloudflared
tunnel forwards all requests to the global network server, which continuously updates as your Worker code changes. This allows full access to Workers KV, Durable Objects and other Cloudflare developer platform products. The dev
command is a way to test your Worker while developing.
-

These arguments can also be set in your wrangler.toml
file. Refer to the wrangler dev
configuration documentation for more information.
You should run wrangler dev
from your Worker directory. Wrangler will run a local server accepting requests, executing your Worker, and forwarding them to a host. If you want to use another host other than your zone or tutorials.cloudflare.com
, you can specify with --host example.com
.
With wrangler dev
running, you can send HTTP requests to localhost:8787
and your Worker should execute as expected. You will also see console.log
messages and exceptions appearing in your terminal. If either of these things do not happen, or you think the output is incorrect, file an issue ↗.
Start a session to livestream logs from a deployed Worker.
--format $FORMAT
json|pretty- The format of the log entries.

- Filter by invocation status [possible values:
ok
,error
,canceled
].
- Filter by invocation status [possible values:

After starting wrangler tail
in a directory with a project, you will receive a live feed of console and exception logs for each request your Worker receives.
Like all Wrangler commands, run wrangler tail
from your Worker’s root directory (the directory with your wrangler.toml
file).
Preview your project using the Cloudflare Workers preview service ↗.
Default values indicated by =value.
-
--env $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
optional- If defined, Wrangler will load the matching environment’s configuration. Refer to Environments for more information.
-
--watch
recommended- When enabled, any changes to the Worker project will continually update the preview service with the newest version of your project. By default,
wrangler preview
will only bundle your project a single time.

.
- The body string to post to your preview Worker request. For example,
If you are using kv_namespaces with wrangler preview
, you will need to specify a preview_id
in your wrangler.toml
file before you can start the session. This is so that you do not accidentally write changes to your production namespace while you are developing. You may make preview_id
equal to id
if you would like to preview with your production namespace, but you should ensure that you are not writing values to KV that would break your production Worker.
To create a preview_id
run:
WSL is a Linux environment, so Wrangler attempts to invoke xdg-open
to open your browser. To make wrangler preview
work with WSL, you should set your $BROWSER
to the path of your browser binary:
Spaces in filepaths are not common in Linux, and some programs like xdg-open
will break on paths with spaces ↗. You can work around this by linking the binary to your /usr/local/bin
:
Another option is to install wsl-open ↗ and set the $BROWSER
env variable to wsl-open
via wsl-open -w
. This ensures that xdg-open
uses wsl-open
when it attempts to open your browser.
If you are using WSL 2, you will need to install wsl-open
following their standalone method ↗ rather than through npm
. This is because their npm package has not yet been updated with WSL 2 support.
List or delete a route associated with a domain:
Default values indicated by =value.
--env $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
optional- If defined, the changes will only apply to the specified environment. Refer to Environments for more information.
This command will forward the JSON response from the List Routes API. Each object within the JSON list will include the route id, route pattern, and the assigned Worker name for the route. Piping this through a tool such as jq
will render the output nicely.
Default values indicated by =value.
-
$ID
required- The hash of the route ID to delete.
-
--env $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
optional- If defined, the changes will only apply to the specified environment. Refer to Environments for more information.
Create or change your *.workers.dev
↗ subdomain.
Interact with your secrets.
Create or replace a secret.
You will be prompted to input the secret’s value. This command can receive piped input, so the following example is also possible:
-
name
- The variable name to be accessible in the script.
-
--env $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
optional- If defined, the changes will only apply to the specified environment. Refer to Environments for more information.
Delete a secret from a specific script.
-
name
- The variable name to be accessible in the script.
-
--env $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
optional- If defined, the changes will only apply to the specified environment. Refer to Environments for more information.
List all the secret names bound to a specific script.
--env $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
optional- If defined, only the specified environment’s secrets will be listed. Refer to Environments for more information.
The kv
subcommand allows you to store application data in the Cloudflare network to be accessed from Workers using Workers KV ↗. KV operations are scoped to your account, so in order to use any of these commands, you:
- must configure an
account_id
in your project’swrangler.toml
file. - run all
wrangler kv:<command>
operations in your terminal from the project’s root directory.
To use Workers KV with your Worker, the first thing you must do is create a KV namespace. This is done with
the kv:namespace
subcommand.
The kv:namespace
subcommand takes a new binding name as its argument. A Workers KV namespace will be created using a concatenation of your Worker’s name (from your wrangler.toml
file) and the binding name you provide:
Successful operations will print a new configuration block that should be copied into your wrangler.toml
file. Add the output to the existing kv_namespaces
configuration if already present. You can now access the binding from within a Worker:
To write a value to your KV namespace using Wrangler, run the wrangler kv:key put
subcommand.
Instead of --binding
, you may use --namespace-id
to specify which KV namespace should receive the operation:
Additionally, KV namespaces can be used with environments. This is useful for when you have code that refers to
a KV binding like MY_KV
, and you want to be able to have these bindings point to different namespaces (like
one for staging and one for production).
A wrangler.toml
file with two environments:
To insert a value into a specific KV namespace, you can use:
Since --namespace-id
is always unique (unlike binding names), you do not need to specify an --env
argument.
Most kv
commands require you to specify a namespace. A namespace can be specified in two ways:
-
With a
--binding
:- This can be combined with
--preview
flag to interact with a preview namespace instead of a production namespace.
- This can be combined with
-
With a
--namespace-id
:
Most kv
subcommands also allow you to specify an environment with the optional --env
flag. This allows you to publish Workers running the same code but with different namespaces. For example, you could use separate staging and production namespaces for KV data in your wrangler.toml
file:
With the wrangler.toml
file above, you can specify --env production
when you want to perform a KV action on the namespace MY_KV
under env.production
. For example, with the wrangler.toml
file above, you can get a value out of a production KV instance with:
