astro-cloudflare-media

A development-time Astro integration for managing media uploads to Cloudflare (Stream, R2, Images).

Features

• Video uploads to Cloudflare Stream with direct upload support
• Image uploads to Cloudflare Images with automatic variants
• Audio/file uploads to Cloudflare R2 (S3-compatible)
• Dev-only dashboard at /_media for managing all uploads
• TypeScript API for programmatic access

Installation

npm install astro-cloudflare-media

Configuration

Add the integration to your astro.config.mjs:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import cloudflareMedia from 'astro-cloudflare-media';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    cloudflareMedia({
      // All config is optional - uses environment variables by default
      dashboardRoute: '/_media', // Default dashboard URL
    }),
  ],
});

Environment Variables

Create a .env file with your Cloudflare credentials:

# Required
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

# Optional - for R2
CLOUDFLARE_R2_BUCKET=podcast-media
CLOUDFLARE_R2_PUBLIC_URL=https://media.yourdomain.com

# Optional - for Images
CLOUDFLARE_IMAGES_HASH=your_delivery_hash

Creating a Cloudflare API Token

1. Go to Cloudflare Dashboard → API Tokens
2. Click "Create Token"
3. Select "Create Custom Token"
4. Add these permissions:
   • Account > Cloudflare Stream > Edit
   • Account > Cloudflare Images > Edit
   • Account > Workers R2 Storage > Edit
5. Save and copy your token

Usage

Dashboard

Start your dev server and visit /_media to access the media dashboard:

npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:4321/_media

The dashboard allows you to:

• Upload videos, images, and audio files
• Browse your media library
• Copy URLs for embedding
• Delete media

Programmatic API

You can also use the API directly in your code:

import { CloudflareClient, StreamApi, ImagesApi } from 'astro-cloudflare-media';

// Create client
const client = new CloudflareClient({
  accountId: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID,
  apiToken: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN,
});

// Upload video
const streamApi = new StreamApi(client);
const { uploadURL, uid } = await streamApi.createDirectUpload({
  maxDurationSeconds: 3600,
  metadata: { name: 'My Video' },
});

// Upload image
const imagesApi = new ImagesApi(client);
const image = await imagesApi.upload(file, {
  filename: 'cover.jpg',
  metadata: { episode: '001' },
});

Stream URL Helpers

import { getStreamUrls } from 'astro-cloudflare-media';

const urls = getStreamUrls('your-video-id');

// urls.iframe - Embed URL
// urls.hls - HLS manifest for custom players
// urls.mp4 - Download URL
// urls.thumbnail(0) - Thumbnail at 0 seconds
// urls.gif(0, 5) - Animated GIF from 0-5 seconds

Podcast Integration

This plugin is designed to work seamlessly with podcast content collections.

Content Collection Schema

// src/content/config.ts
import { defineCollection, z } from 'astro:content';

const mediaSchema = z.object({
  audioUrl: z.string(),
  audioDuration: z.number(),
  audioSize: z.number(),
  audioType: z.string().default('audio/mpeg'),
  videoUrl: z.string().optional(),
  streamVideoId: z.string().optional(),
  thumbnail: z.string().optional(),
});

const podcast = defineCollection({
  type: 'content',
  schema: z.object({
    title: z.string(),
    description: z.string(),
    pubDate: z.coerce.date(),
    media: mediaSchema,
    draft: z.boolean().default(false),
  }),
});

export const collections = { podcast };
