application generator

The create-cloudflare generator wraps Cloudflare’s create-cloudflare (C3) CLI to scaffold a Worker project, then makes it Nx-ready with Wrangler target inference and workspace-managed dependencies.

Aliases: c3, application, app

Usage

bunx nx g @naxodev/nx-cloudflare:application my-worker

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
directory	string	(required)	The directory of the new application. Takes the first positional argument.
name	string		The name of the application. Must match ^[a-zA-Z][^:]*$.
type	string		Worker template forwarded to C3 --type (e.g. hello-world, hello-world-durable-object, scheduled, queues, openapi).
framework	string		Web framework forwarded to C3 --framework (e.g. react, hono, next, astro, svelte, vue).
template	string		Remote git template forwarded to C3 --template.
lang	ts | js | python	ts	Language of the generated scaffold, forwarded to C3 --lang.
c3Version	string	2.70.0	Override the pinned create-cloudflare version to invoke.
c3Args	string[]		Additional raw flags forwarded to C3. Generator-controlled flags (git, deploy, open, auto-update) cannot be overridden.
tags	string		Comma-separated tags added to the application (used for linting).
useProjectJson	boolean	false	Write an explicit project.json. Off by default — the worker is registered from its package.json and Wrangler config via target inference.
skipFormat	boolean	false	Skip formatting files.

Notes

Provide exactly one of type, framework, or template to control the C3 scaffold non-interactively. If none are provided, C3’s interactive prompts guide selection.

Verify

bunx nx show project my-worker

The project appears in the graph with inferred serve, deploy, and typegen targets — no project.json required.
