Edge Security Acceleration:EdgeKV API

Constructor

Creates an EdgeKV instance for a specified namespace.

• Syntax

  const edgeKv = new EdgeKV({ namespace: "ns"});

• Parameters

  Parameter	Description
  namespace	The namespace you created in the console. You can view your namespaces in the namespace list.

get

Reads data from a namespace.

• Syntax

  get(key[, {type: “type”}])

• Parameters

  Parameter	Description
  key	The key to retrieve, specified as a string.
  type	The return type. You can specify one of the following values: stream (default): Returns the value as a ReadableStream. text: Returns the value as a string. json: Parses the value as JSON and returns the resulting object. arrayBuffer: Returns the value as an ArrayBuffer.

• Return value

  Returns a Promise. You can use await to ensure the operation is complete.

  • If the key is not found, the promise resolves with undefined.

  • If an exception occurs and the operation fails, the promise is rejected with an Error object.

• Sample Code

  addEventListener("fetch", event => {
    event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
  })
  
  async function handleRequest(request) {
    try {
      const edgeKV = new EdgeKV({ namespace: "ns" });
      let getType = { type: "text" };
      let value = await edgeKV.get("key", getType);
      if (value === undefined) {
        return "EdgeKV get: key not found";
      } else {
        return new Response(value);
      }
    } catch (e) {
      return "EdgeKV get error" + e;
    }
  }

delete

Deletes a key-value pair from a namespace.

• Syntax

  delete(key)

• Parameters

  Parameter	Description
  key	The key to delete, specified as a string.

• Return value

  Returns a Promise. You can use await to ensure the operation is complete.

  • If the deletion is successful, the promise resolves with true.

  • If the deletion fails, the promise resolves with false.

  • If an exception occurs, the promise is rejected with an Error object.

• Sample Code

  addEventListener("fetch", event => {
    event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
  })
  
  async function handleRequest() {
    try {
      const edgeKV = new EdgeKV({ namespace: "ns" });
      let resp = await edgeKV.delete("key");
      if (resp) {
        return "EdgeKV delete success";
      } else {
        return "EdgeKV delete failed";
      }
    }
    catch (e) {
      return "EdgeKV delete error" + e;
    }
  }

JavaScript exception handling

When an exception occurs, a JS error is returned. If you want to ignore this error, you must catch it in your JS code. Otherwise, a 599 status code is returned and the request automatically falls back to the fallback origin server for a retry. The fallback origin server is the origin server that you configured when you added the domain name to CDN/DCDN.
