Handler

}
Request
const method = request.method // "GET", "POST"
const url = new URL(request.url) // Parse URL
const headers = request.headers // Headers object
const body = await request.json() // Read body (consumes stream)
const clone = request.clone() // Clone before reading body
// Query params

url.searchParams.getAll('tag') // Array
// Cloudflare metadata
request.cf.country // "US"
request.cf.colo // "SFO"
Response
// Text
return new Response('Hello', { status: 200 });
// JSON
return Response.json({ data }, { status: 200, headers: {...} });
// Redirect
return Response.redirect('/new-path', 301);
// Modify existing
const modified = new Response(response.body, response);

ExecutionContext
// Background work (after response sent)
ctx.waitUntil(fetch('https://logs.example.com', { method: 'POST', body: '...' }))

Fetch
const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com')
const data = await response.json()
// With options
await fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },

Cache
const cache = caches.default

let response = await cache.match(request)

}

Crypto
crypto.randomUUID() // UUID v4
crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16))
// SHA-256 hash
const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', new TextEncoder().encode(data))
