πŸ”₯ Miniflare

Miniflare is a simulator for developing and testing Cloudflare Workers.

  • πŸŽ‰ Fun: develop workers easily with detailed logging, file watching and pretty error pages supporting source maps.
  • πŸ”‹ Full-featured: supports most Workers features, including KV, Durable Objects, WebSockets, modules and more.
  • ⚑ Fully-local: test and develop Workers without an internet connection. Reload code on change quickly.

It's an alternative to wrangler dev, written in TypeScript, that runs your workers in a sandbox implementing Workers' runtime APIs.

See https://miniflare.dev for more detailed documentation.
