Accessing files in a worker

Let's say I have files like this in a worker, the data.json file may not always be a JSON file (nothing insane, just some js files or small scripts). I couldn't find any information on how could I access it from the main entrypoint. How could I do this without making a wasteful API request like this: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/worker-script-download-worker

You can import it as a module e.g import json from './data.json' This will be uploaded with the worker

This works when wrangler is doing the bundling, but not in quick edit which is what is seemingly used there:

Cannot find module './data.json'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'node', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option?ts(2792)

I know you can import files in quickedit since one of the templates does it with a html file and a js file, but not 100% sure why it hates json specifically

Oh that's fun

You can though, do what the playground template does and just have data.js with

export default {
    name: "Example API",
    tags: ["example", "api", "response"],
};

export default {
    name: "Example API",
    tags: ["example", "api", "response"],
};

But let's say it's not even a JS file, but a small database template for example, so there's no way to access it and I basically have to cram it in a JS file?

Hello, I’m Allie!•6mo ago

Only if you use QuickEdit. wrangler can be massaged into accepting any file format you throw at it
