Worker Tools

Worker Tools are a collection of TypeScript libraries for writing web servers in Worker Runtimes such as Cloudflare Workers and Deno Deploy.

Tools

• 🧭 Worker Router — Complete routing solution that works across CF Workers, Deno and Service Workers
• 🔋 Worker Middleware — A suite of standalone HTTP server-side middleware with TypeScript support
• 📄 Worker HTML — HTML templating and streaming response library
• 📦 Storage Area — Key-value store abstraction across Cloudflare KV, Deno and browsers.
• 🆗 Response Creators — Factory functions for responses with pre-filled status and status text
• 🎏 Stream Response — Use async generators to build streaming responses for SSE, etc...
• 🥏 JSON Fetch — Drop-in replacements for Fetch API classes with first class support for JSON.
• 🦑 JSON Stream — Streaming JSON parser/stingifier with 1st class support for WHATWG/web streams.
• 🧱 Structured JSON — Stringify and parse JavaScript values according to Structured Clone Algorithm
• 🍪 Request Cookie Store — An implementation of the Cookie Store API for use in request handlers.
• ⏱ Extendable Promise — A promise that can be delayed/extended via repeated calls to waitUntil.

Worker Tools also includes a number of polyfills that help bridge the gap between different Worker Runtimes:

• ✏️ HTML Rewriter — Cloudflare's HTML Rewriter for use in Deno, browsers, etc...
• 📍 Location Polyfill — A Location polyfill for Cloudflare Workers.
• 🦕 Deno Fetch Event Adapter — Dispatches global fetch events using Deno’s native HTTP server.

Worker Tools also maintains a number of (web-) services:

• ⚙️ workers.js.org — Educational site about the state of Worker Runtimes.
• 🦕 ghuc.cc — Import modules directly from GitHub into Deno with a familiar API.

*[SSE]: Server Sent Events

Worker Tools can be used independently or as a web framework via Shed.

How to Use

Deno users can import Worker Tools directly from GitHub as they are written in TypeScript with fully qualified import specifiers:

import * as shed from 'https://ghuc.cc/worker-tools/shed/index.ts'

For other runtimes such as module bundlers, webpack or esbuild, Worker Tools are distributed as node-ified modules that can be installed via npm and behave like regular npm modules

npm install @worker-tools/shed
