Websocket to Container

Forwarding a Websocket request to a Container

WebSocket requests are automatically forwarded to a container using the default fetch method on the Container class:

JavaScript
import { Container, getContainer } from "@cloudflare/containers";
export class MyContainer extends Container {
defaultPort = 8080;
sleepAfter = "2m";
}
export default {
async fetch(request, env) {
// gets default instance and forwards websocket from outside Worker
return getContainer(env.MY_CONTAINER).fetch(request);
},
};
