JavaScript Examples - General edge functions on firewall example

A general example for edge functions to run on Edge Firewall. The sample code exemplifies the following capabilities:

  • event.deny()
  • event.drop()
  • event.addRequestHeader()
  • event.addResponseHeader()
  • event.respondWith()
  • event.continue()
async function firewallHandler(event) {
// Access the value of x-deny, one of the headers
let condition = event.request.headers.get("x-deny");
if (condition) {
// event.deny() triggers a default 403 Response
event.deny();
}
let anotherCondition = event.request.headers.get("x-drop"); // Access the value of x-drop, , one of the headers
if (anotherCondition) {
// event.drop() drops the connection without returning a Response
event.drop();
}
// Access the value of x-third, one of the headers
let aThirdCondition = event.request.headers.get("x-third");
if (aThirdCondition) {
// event.addRequestHeader() adds a new header to the Request object, passing key:"value".
event.addRequestHeader("X-New-Request-Header", "Hello");
}
// Access the value of x-fourth, one of the headers
let aFourthCondition = event.request.headers.get("x-fourth");
if (aFourthCondition) {
// event.addResponseHeader() adds a new header to the Response object
// that will be delivered after accessing the origin.
event.addResponseHeader("X-New-Response-Header", "Bye");
}
// The metadata object contains the attributes of the request
if (event.request.metadata["remote_addr"] == "127.0.0.1") {
// event.respondWith(new Response()) allows you to serve your own Response
event.respondWith(new Response('{"my_custom_response": true}', {
status: 599,
headers: { "content-type": "application/json" }
}));
}
// If the request was not denied or dropped and did not have a Response returned,
// it is necessary to continue the processing, and to do so use use -> event.continue()
// Do not forget this command, otherwise the request won't continue!
event.continue();
}
addEventListener("firewall", (event) => event.waitUntil(firewallHandler(event)));
