This is a demo project demonstrating the integration of Turso into a Cloudflare Workers TypeScript/JavaScript project.

prerequisites

• A Cloudflare account.
• The latest LTS version of Node.js installed on your machine.
• The Cloudflare wrangler package: Install it by running - npm install -g wrangler.

Setting up the database

Install the Turso CLI.

Create a new turso database.

turso db create web-frameworks

We use "web-frameworks" as the database name here, though you can use any database name of choice.

Access the database through the Turso CLI shell.

turso db shell web-frameworks

Create database tables and indexes

Here's the SQL statement to create a frameworks table.

-- create a "frameworks" table
create table frameworks (
  id integer primary key,
  name varchar (50) not null,
  language varchar (50) not null,
  url text not null,
  stars integer not null
);

For unique column insertions, add accompanying unique indexes.

-- name column unique index
create unique index idx_frameworks_name ON frameworks (name);

-- url column unique index
create unique index idx_frameworks_url ON frameworks (url);

Seed the database with some data.

insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Vue".js , "JavaScript", "https://github.com/vuejs/vue", 203000);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("React", "JavaScript", "https://github.com/facebook/react", 206000);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Angular", "TypeScript", "https://github.com/angular/angular", 87400);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("ASP.NET Core", "C#", "https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore", 31400);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Express", "JavaScript", "https://github.com/expressjs/express", 60500);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Django", "Python", "https://github.com/django/django", 69800);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Ruby on Rails", "Ruby", "https://github.com/rails/rails", 52600);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Spring", "Java", "https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework", 51400);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Laravel", "PHP", "https://github.com/laravel/laravel", 73100);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Flask", "Python", "https://github.com/pallets/flask", 62500);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Ruby", "Ruby", "https://github.com/ruby/ruby", 41000);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Symfony", "PHP", "https://github.com/symfony/symfony", 28200);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("CodeIgniter", "PHP", "https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter", 18200);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("CakePHP", "PHP", "https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp", 8600);
insert into frameworks(name, language, url, stars) values("Qwik", "TypeScript", "https://github.com/BuilderIO/qwik", 16400);

Set up Turso on the project

To access the data stored inside your database, you need the Turso database url and an authentication token.

To obtain the database url, run the following command:

turso db show web-frameworks --url

Add this environment secret to the Cloudflare Workers project by running the following command on the project's root.

wrangler secret put TURSO_DB_URL

Copy the resulting URL from the previous Turso command and it when asked to Enter a secret value:.

And, to create an authentication token for your database, run:

turso db tokens create web-frameworks

Again, add this environment secret to the Workers project by running the following command.

wrangler secret put TURSO_DB_AUTH_TOKEN

Copy the resulting token from the previous Turso command and it when asked to Enter a secret value:.

Development

Run npm install to install the project's dependencies.

Run npm run start to authenticate this workers project with your Cloudflare account and initiate the dev server.
