Elm on Cloudflare Workers with KV

Elm is a perfect fit actually, since you can hardly do anything other than HTTP and accessing the Cloudflare KV store.

Setup

  1. After logging into cloudflare click on Get started with Workers, or go to https://dash.cloudflare.com/{account_id}/workers/kv/namespaces
  2. Click on KV and add a namespace; copy and paste the id into wrangler.toml under [[kv-namespaces]] > id
  3. Click on Workers tab on top and create a worker; set the worker name in your wrangler.toml
  4. Click on {} Editor > KV tab > + Add binding button to bind your KV namespace to a JS global variable name (the variable name can be different from the namespace name)
    • i think you'll need to Save and deploy button below for it to take effect

After these are setup, you can make preview locally; your browser will automatically load a page running your worker on Cloudflare.
