Adding a Backend Feature

You are adding a new API endpoint or backend capability to the FoxESS Cloudflare Worker.

Before Starting

1. •Read src/worker.js to understand the routing pattern
2. •Read src/lib/foxess.js to understand shared helpers
3. •Read wrangler.jsonc for Worker configuration

Architecture

• •src/worker.js — single entry point, routes requests by url.pathname
• •src/lib/foxess.js — shared helpers (FoxESS API calls, auth, CORS, caching)
• •Static assets from public/ served via env.ASSETS.fetch(request)
• •All /api/* routes handled by the Worker; everything else falls through to static assets

Adding a New API Endpoint

1. •

   Add route in src/worker.js following the existing if/else if pattern:

   javascript

   } else if (path === '/api/your-endpoint') {
     if (!validateApiKey(request, env)) {
       response = new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: 'Unauthorized' }), {
         status: 401, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
       });
     } else {
       // Your logic here
       response = new Response(JSON.stringify(data), {
         headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
       });
     }
   

2. •

   Add shared helpers to src/lib/foxess.js if reusable:

   • •Export the function: export async function yourHelper(env) { ... }
   • •Import in worker.js: add to the existing import statement
3. •

   Use caching if calling an external API:

   javascript

   var ttl = parseInt(env.CACHE_TTL) || 60;
   var cached = await cachedFetch('unique-cache-key', function() {
     return yourFetchFunction(env);
   }, ttl);
   

4. •

   Auth: Use validateApiKey(request, env) for protected endpoints. Only /api/health is public.

5. •

   CORS: Handled automatically at the end of the fetch handler — no per-route CORS needed.

FoxESS API Integration

When calling a new FoxESS endpoint:

1. •Use createFoxESSHeaders(path, env.FOXESS_API_KEY) for auth headers
2. •Base URL: https://www.foxesscloud.com
3. •POST with JSON body, include sn: env.FOXESS_DEVICE_SN
4. •Signature uses literal \r\n (escaped, not actual CRLF) — see generateSignature()

Adding Environment Variables

1. •Add in Cloudflare Dashboard (Settings > Variables and Secrets)
2. •Access via env.VARIABLE_NAME in Worker code
3. •Document in README.md and CLAUDE.md environment variables tables

After Implementation

1. •Test locally with npx wrangler dev if possible
2. •Update API Routes tables in README.md and CLAUDE.md
3. •Ask the user if they want to commit and push
4. •If committing, use a concise message with Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
5. •Run /reflect to update documentation
