Cloudflare Worker Short URL: Query All Links Feature

Requirement

Hope you can add a feature to query previously added short links from Cloudflare. Otherwise, if the browser cache is wiped, or when I want to query and manage short links on another computer, I have to log into Cloudflare, which is quite troublesome.

When I first designed this short link system, I intended it to be shared among people I know. That's why I used the browser's localStorage — the benefit is that each person only sees the short links they added themselves, without interfering with each other. Later I added a delete feature, so you won't accidentally delete someone else's short links either.

However, since someone specifically asked for it, let me think again — if this system is only used by myself, then the need to read KV is reasonable.

Approach

Refer to the official documentation https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/api/list-keys/

list() can return the full list of keys (i.e., short links). Then query each one separately to get the value (i.e., the long link), and stitch them together into a JSON structure to return to the front-end page.

Design the Data Structure

The JSON structure sent from the front-end to the back-end, design a command qryall

{
  cmd: 'qryall', 
  password: 'bodongshouqulveweifengci'
}

The JSON structure returned from the back-end to the front-end

{
  "status":200,
  "error":"",
  "kvlist":[
    {
      "key":"mtSzm6",
      "value":"https://1way.eu.org/bodongshouqulveweifengci"
    },
    .... etc ...
  ]
}
