The experimental cloudflare_durable preset existed mainly to send WebSocket upgrades to a Durable Object, which gives shared pub/sub and hibernation. This PR moves that into cloudflare_module before RC, and makes cloudflare-dev behave the same way.

The crossws Cloudflare adapter already sends handleUpgrade to env[bindingName] when that binding exists, and falls back to a plain Worker WebSocket when it doesn't. So the module entry only needs to export the class.

This PR now also includes #4851 and #4852, so there is one PR to merge. It resolves #4847.

Changes

Production (cloudflare_module)

  • The cloudflare_module entry now exports the $DurableObject class, moved to runtime/_durable.ts. Its adapter now uses bindingName: "$DurableObject" and instanceName: "server". The instance name is the same as before, so existing Durable Object state and connections carry over.
    • Without the binding (the default), nothing changes: upgrades are handled in the Worker.
    • With the binding declared in wrangler, upgrades go to the Durable Object, and the cloudflare:durable:init and cloudflare:durable:alarm hooks fire.
  • cloudflare_durable is now a deprecated preset that extends cloudflare_module and logs a warning. Existing configs keep working with the same wrangler setup.
  • Removed ctxExt.durableFetch. It was never passed to user code.

Dev (cloudflare-dev, miniflare runner)

  • When the Wrangler config declares $DurableObject (as a binding or in exports, in the selected environment, from the file or from the inline cloudflare.wrangler config), the dev entry exports the same class from _durable.ts. A binding counts when it has no script_name, or when its script_name is the Worker's own name (<name>-<env> or the env's name), as in wrangler dev.
    • Nitro builder: the existing cloudflare-server-entry wrapper (server entry exports) also re-exports the class, so the entry is still wrapped only once.
    • Vite: the preset registers #nitro/virtual/dev-worker-exports, which #nitro/virtual/server-entry exposes and vite/dev-entry.mjs merges into the Worker exports. The class runs in the module runner and shares module state with the routes.
  • Updates env-runner to 0.3.7 and sets its new crossws runner option (feat(miniflare): crossws option for crossws Cloudflare options unjs/env-runner#88) to bindingName: "$DurableObject", instanceName: "server" in the miniflare runner options (src/dev/runner-deps.ts). Upgrades go to the same Durable Object instance as in production, and the dev entries stay generic ({ resolve }).
  • The class is only exported when it is declared. Otherwise env-runner warns about an undeclared Durable Object, and with Vite it restarts Miniflare. Because of this, you have to restart the dev server after adding or removing the binding. The docs say this.
  • WebSocket route hooks in cloudflare-dev (fix(cloudflare): call websocket hooks in cloudflare-dev #4851) needed env-runner 0.3.5, which is covered by the bump; only the test is added here.

Docs

  • The separate "Workers with Durable Objects" section is now "WebSockets with Durable Objects" under Workers, with a note on local dev. Added a migration note and a pub/sub tip in the WebSocket docs.

Testing

  • cloudflare-module: the built entry exports $DurableObject, and Miniflare serves app routes through it when the binding is declared. With the binding, WebSocket pub/sub reaches the other peer and the peer is handled by the server instance. Without the binding, the Worker handles the connection with no pub/sub, as before.
  • cloudflare-dev: one WebSocket test for each of nitro builder and Vite, with and without the binding. It checks that the route's hooks run, that pub/sub between two peers works only with the binding, and that upgrades reach the server instance. The binding is declared with a self-named script_name in a Wrangler env. The binding cases fail when the class is not exported (HTTP 500), when the self-named script_name is not recognized, or without the crossws runner option (instance crossws).
  • cloudflare-dev, cloudflare-module, nitro-dev and test/vite/websocket tests pass on rollup and rolldown, and typecheck and lint pass.

Not verified: the cloudflare:durable:alarm hook in dev, and bindings declared only through CLOUDFLARE_ENV (the code handles it, but no test covers it).

📝 Walkthrough

The Cloudflare module now exports $DurableObject and uses the durable WebSocket adapter. Development builds detect Durable Object bindings and route WebSocket upgrades through them. The deprecated cloudflare_durable preset uses cloudflare_module. Tests and documentation cover the updated behavior.

Changes: Cloudflare Durable Object consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unify Durable Object runtime
src/presets/cloudflare/runtime/_durable.ts, src/presets/cloudflare/runtime/cloudflare-module.ts, src/presets/cloudflare/preset.ts
The runtime exports the WebSocket adapter and $DurableObject. The durable runtime no longer provides the previous request handler. The deprecated preset uses cloudflare-module and emits a warning.
Wire Durable Object exports
src/presets/cloudflare/entry-exports.ts, src/presets/cloudflare/utils.ts, src/presets/cloudflare/preset.ts
Entry setup detects Durable Object declarations from Wrangler or inline configuration. It adds $DurableObject exports for standard and Vite development builds.
Route built-in development exports
src/build/virtual/server-entry.ts, src/runtime/virtual/server-entry.ts, src/runtime/internal/vite/dev-entry.mjs, src/runtime/internal/vite/dev-worker.mjs, src/presets/_nitro/runtime/nitro-dev.ts
Generated entries include built-in Worker exports. Vite development entries merge built-in and user exports. WebSocket options target the $DurableObject binding and server instance.
Verify binding and WebSocket behavior
test/presets/cloudflare-module.test.ts, test/presets/cloudflare-dev.test.ts, test/presets/fixtures/websocket-pubsub.ts
Tests check namespace requests and WebSocket pub/sub with and without a Durable Object binding. The fixture subscribes peers to chat and publishes prefixed messages.
Document migration and WebSocket behavior
docs/1.docs/50.websocket.md, docs/1.docs/99.migration.md, docs/2.deploy/20.providers/cloudflare.md
Documentation describes WebSocket behavior, Durable Object setup, local development support, the deprecated preset, and migration to cloudflare_module.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0085e

Miniflare development can fail when a Durable Object binding names its own Worker. Include that local binding in export detection before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0085e

The shared Durable Object path is explicitly configured, and the existing object identity and application-hook dispatch are preserved. No introduced security defect was established. Configuration edge cases and interrupted connection recovery remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The evidenced shared-state scope is the fixed server instance in the configured Durable Object namespace. Connections admitted by the application can share pub/sub topics there; the instance name is not a per-user or per-tenant isolation mechanism. This shared topology already existed in the durable preset and is now available through the module preset.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Client-controlled upgrade headers trigger the feature-gated transport branch, but the inspected routing identifiers are fixed constants rather than URL or message values. Application route-hook resolution remains present. Whether the external adapter enforces every failure-path guarantee is outside the inspected source coverage.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The moved Durable Object retains initialization and alarm scheduling through waitUntil and the existing message and close callbacks. Tests include ordinary socket and runtime cleanup, but do not establish recovery during partial upgrades, hibernation, concurrent reload, or rollback. Those unresolved transitions limit assurance rather than demonstrate a newly introduced security failure.

127-162: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Wait for the full negative-case timeout.

The binding-disabled branch waits only 100 ms after a.next("sent"), then closes both sockets. A regression that forwards pub:hi asynchronously after that window can pass without being observed. Assert that b.next("pub:hi") times out instead.

Suggested fix
         if (binding) {
           await b.next("pub:hi");
         } else {
-          await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 100));
+          await expect(b.next("pub:hi")).rejects.toThrow(
+            'Timed out waiting for "pub:hi"'
+          );
         }

The module entry exports the `$DurableObject` class and forwards WebSocket
upgrades to it when its binding is declared. `cloudflare_durable` is deprecated.
When the Wrangler config declares the `$DurableObject` binding, the cloudflare-dev entry exports the built-in class (nitro builder and Vite) and upgrades are forwarded to instance `server`, like in production.

Also covers websocket route hooks in `cloudflare-dev` (fixed by env-runner 0.3.5, #4851).
