Cloudflare Hono Template Commands

Specialized commands for building edge-first applications with Cloudflare Workers and Hono.

Overview

The Cloudflare template provides 10 commands optimized for edge computing, serverless APIs, and Cloudflare's ecosystem of services.

Available Commands

API Development

• add-api-route - Create RESTful API endpoints with Hono
• add-middleware - Add custom middleware for request processing
• implement-queue - Set up queue processing with Cloudflare Queues

Storage & Data

• add-r2-storage - Configure R2 object storage for files
• setup-database - Set up D1 SQLite database

Infrastructure

• add-worker-cron - Schedule recurring tasks with Cron Triggers
• setup-analytics - Integrate Cloudflare Analytics
• setup-auth - Implement authentication (JWT, OAuth)

Deployment

• deploy-worker - Deploy to Cloudflare Workers
• deploy - Full deployment pipeline

Usage Examples

Creating an API

/template add-api-route /api/users GET,POST,PUT,DELETE
/template add-middleware rate-limiting
/template add-middleware cors

Setting Up Storage

/template add-r2-storage user-uploads
/template setup-database user-data

Authentication Setup

/template setup-auth jwt
/template add-middleware auth-required

Deployment

/template deploy-worker production
/template setup-analytics

Key Features

Edge-First Architecture

All commands generate code optimized for edge runtime:

• Minimal cold starts
• Global distribution
• Low latency responses

Cloudflare Services Integration

Commands integrate seamlessly with:

• Workers KV for session storage
• R2 for object storage
• D1 for SQL databases
• Queues for async processing
• Analytics for monitoring

Type Safety

• Full TypeScript support
• Hono's type-safe routing
• Generated types for all services

Best Practices

1. Start with API Routes: Define your API structure first
2. Add Middleware Early: Security and CORS from the beginning
3. Use R2 for Files: Don't store files in KV
4. Monitor Performance: Enable analytics early
5. Test Locally: Use wrangler dev for local testing

Common Workflows

Building a REST API

/template add-api-route /api/auth/login POST
/template add-api-route /api/auth/logout POST
/template setup-auth jwt
/template add-middleware auth-required

File Upload System

/template add-r2-storage uploads
/template add-api-route /api/upload POST
/template add-middleware file-size-limit

Background Processing

/template implement-queue email-queue
/template add-worker-cron cleanup-job "0 2 * * *"

Integration with Core Prompts

Use Cloudflare commands with core Orchestre prompts:

# Plan the architecture
/orchestrate "Build image processing API"

# Implement with template commands
/template add-api-route /api/images/process POST
/template add-r2-storage processed-images
/template implement-queue image-processing

# Review and document
/review
/document-feature "Image processing pipeline"
