deploy_dir v0.1.5

ci

deploy_dir is a CLI tool for hosting static web sites in Deno Deploy.

deploy_dir reads the contents of a directory and package them as source code for Deno Deploy or CloudFlare workers.

Note: This tool is not suitable for hosting large static contents like videos, audios, high-res images, etc.

Bonus: This tool also works for CloudFlare Workers if you pass --js option.

Install

Deno >= 1.10 is recommended.

deno install -qf --allow-read=. --allow-write=. https://deno.land/x/deploy_dir@v0.1.5/cli.ts

Usage

The basic usage of the CLI is:

deploy_dir dist -o deploy.ts

This command reads the files under ./dist/ directory and writes the source code for Deno Deploy to ./deploy.ts

You can check the behavior of this deployment by using deployctl command:

deployctl run deploy.ts

This serves the contents of the source directory such as http://localhost:8080/foo.txt , http://localhost:8080/bar.ts , etc (Note: The directory index path maps to dir/index.html automatically)

CLI usage

deploy_dir supports the following options:

Usage: deploy_dir <dir> [-h][-v][-o <filename>][--js][-r <path>]

Read the files under the given directory and outputs the source code for Deno Deploy
which serves the contents of the given directory.

Options:
  -r, --root <path>           Specifies the root path of the deployed static files. Default is '/'.
  -o, --output <filename>     Specifies the output filename. If not specified, the tool shows the source code to stdout.
  --js                        Output source code as plain JavaScript. Default is false. Set this true if you want to deploy to CloudFlare Workers.
  -y, --yes                   Answers yes when the tool ask for overwriting the output.
  -v, --version               Shows the version number.
  -h, --help                  Shows the help message.

Example:
  deploy_dir dist/ -o deploy.ts
                              Reads the files under dist/ directory and outputs 'deploy.ts' file which
                              serves the contents under dist/ as deno deploy worker.

Internals

The output source typically looks like the below:

const dirData: Record<string, Uint8Array> = {};
dirData["/bar.ts"] = [
  Uint8Array.from(atob("Y29uc29sZS5sb2coImJhciIpOwo="), (c) => c.charCodeAt(0)),
  "text/typescript",
];
dirData["/foo.txt"] = [
  Uint8Array.from(atob("Zm9vCg=="), (c) => c.charCodeAt(0)),
  "text/plain",
];
addEventListener("fetch", (e) => {
  const { pathname } = new URL(e.request.url);
  const data = dirData[pathname];
  if (data) {
    const [bytes, mediaType] = data;
    e.respondWith(
      new Response(bytes, { headers: { "content-type": mediaType } }),
    );
    return;
  }
  e.respondWith(new Response("404 Not Found", { status: 404 }));
});

You can extend this deploy source code by removing the last line e.respondWith(new Response("404 Not Found", { status: 404 })); and replace it with your own handler.
