levi

The AppHost Framework for Cloudflare

Declare your entire Cloudflare application topology — Workers, D1, KV, R2, Queues, Durable Objects, AI, Domains — in a single typed TypeScript file. Levi generates valid wrangler.jsonc configs, provisions resources, and orchestrates deployment.

Levi does not replace Wrangler. It orchestrates it.

npm install -D @flarefound/levi

Quick Start

npx levi init          # scaffold a project (vinext, hono, or raw)
npx levi build         # generate wrangler.jsonc for every worker
npx levi dev           # local dev — spawns wrangler dev per worker
npx levi deploy        # deploy in dependency order

The AppHost File

One file. Full type safety. Zero lock-in.

// levi.app.ts
import { FlareApp } from "@flarefound/levi";

const app = new FlareApp("my-saas", {
  compatibility_date: "2026-04-01",
});

// Storage
const db = app.addD1("main-db", { migrations: "./migrations" });
const cache = app.addKV("sessions", { ttl: 3600 });
const uploads = app.addR2("user-uploads");

// Queue + consumer
const jobs = app.addQueue("background-jobs", { retries: 3 });

// AI
const ai = app.addWorkersAI();

// API worker — binds to everything
const api = app.addWorker("api", {
  framework: "hono",
  entrypoint: "./packages/api/src/index.ts",
  bindings: { DB: db, CACHE: cache, UPLOADS: uploads, JOBS: jobs, AI: ai },
  routes: ["api.acme.com/*"],
  crons: [{ pattern: "0 */6 * * *" }],
});

// Job runner — consumes the queue
app.addWorker("job-runner", {
  entrypoint: "./packages/jobs/src/index.ts",
  bindings: { DB: db, AI: ai },
  consumers: [{ queue: jobs, maxBatchSize: 10 }],
});

// vinext frontend — service binding to API
app.addWorker("web", {
  framework: "vinext",
  entrypoint: "./packages/web",
  bindings: { API: api.asService(), CACHE: cache },
  routes: ["acme.com/*"],
});

// Domains
app.addDomain("acme.com", { ssl: "full_strict", redirectWww: true });
app.addDomain("api.acme.com", { ssl: "full_strict" });

export default app;

Run levi build and Levi generates a complete, valid wrangler.jsonc for each worker — with all bindings, routes, crons, migrations, and compatibility flags resolved.

What Levi Generates

.levi/
├── workers/
│   ├── api/wrangler.jsonc          ← D1, KV, R2, Queue, AI bindings
│   ├── job-runner/wrangler.jsonc   ← D1, AI bindings + queue consumer
│   └── web/wrangler.jsonc          ← service binding + vinext assets config
└── graph.json                      ← serialized dependency graph

Every generated config is a standalone, valid wrangler.jsonc. If you eject from Levi, you copy these files and you're done.

Cloudflare Primitive Coverage

Every Cloudflare primitive gets a typed builder method with full IntelliSense:

CLI Commands

npx levi init              # scaffold a project
npx levi build             # generate wrangler.jsonc configs
npx levi build --env prod  # generate configs for specific environment
npx levi dev                # local dev with live reload
npx levi dev --env local   # dev with local environment
npx levi deploy            # provision + deploy all workers
npx levi deploy --env prod # deploy to specific environment
npx levi provision         # create Cloudflare resources only
npx levi diff              # compare local vs deployed configs
npx levi dashboard         # ASCII topology dashboard

Programmatic API

The same package works as a library:

import { FlareApp, WranglerGenerator } from "@flarefound/levi";

const app = new FlareApp("my-app", { compatibility_date: "2026-04-01" });
const db = app.addD1("db");
const api = app.addWorker("api", {
  entrypoint: "./src/index.ts",
  bindings: { DB: db },
});

// Validate the graph
const result = app.build();
console.log(result.deployOrder); // ["db", "api"]

// Generate wrangler configs
const gen = new WranglerGenerator(app);
for (const [name, config] of gen.generateAll()) {
  console.log(name, WranglerGenerator.serialize(config));
}

DNS Provisioning

Levi provisions custom domains via the Cloudflare REST API:

app.addDomain("api.example.com", {
  ssl: "full_strict",
  redirectWww: true,
});

export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your-token
npx levi provision

Creates DNS records, configures SSL mode, and sets up www redirects — all idempotent.

vinext First-Class Support

vinext is the recommended frontend framework. framework: "vinext" auto-configures:

• SSR entry point (dist/server/index.js)
• Static assets serving (dist/client/)
• nodejs_compat compatibility flag
• Service bindings for frontend-to-API communication

TanStack SPA Support

TanStack SPA is a pure client-side frontend using Vite + React + TanStack Query + TanStack Router. framework: "tanstack" auto-configures:

• Static assets serving (dist/client/)
• Service binding to connected API workers
• No SSR — all data fetching via TanStack Query

const api = app.addWorker("api", {
  framework: "hono",
  entrypoint: "./src/api/index.ts",
  bindings: { DB: db },
});

const web = app.addWorker("web", {
  framework: "tanstack",
  entrypoint: "./src/web",
  bindings: { API: api.asService() },
});

Zero Lock-in

Levi generates standard wrangler.jsonc files. At any point:

npx levi eject

This copies the configs to your project root. Delete Levi, and you're running on pure Wrangler. No proprietary SDK, no platform dependency, no vendor lock-in.

Design Principles

1. Wrangler is the engine. Levi is the driver. Never reimplement what Wrangler does.
2. TypeScript-first. The apphost file is the single source of truth. All configs are generated.
3. Expose everything. Every Cloudflare primitive gets a typed builder. No magic.
4. Local dev is first-class. levi dev runs all workers locally with correct bindings.
5. Incremental adoption. Use Levi for one worker or a 12-service monorepo.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18
• Wrangler >= 3.0 (peer dependency)
• Cloudflare account (for deployment)
