Default starter for AssemblyScript

A basic starter kit that demonstrates routing, simple synthetic responses and overriding caching rules.

Platform:
Compute@Edge
Language:
AssemblyScript
Repo:
https://github.com/fastly/compute-starter-kit-assemblyscript-default

Use this starter

Using the Fastly CLI, create a new project using this starter somewhere on your computer:

$ fastly compute init --from=https://github.com/fastly/compute-starter-kit-assemblyscript-default

Or click the button below to create a GitHub repository, provision a Fastly service, and set up continuous deployment:

Deploy to Fastly

Features

  • Allow only requests with particular HTTP methods
  • Match request URL path and methods for routing
  • Build synthetic responses at the edge

Understanding the code

This starter is intentionally lightweight, and requires no dependencies aside from the @fastly/as-compute npm package. It will help you understand the basics of processing requests at the edge using Fastly. This starter includes implementations of common patterns explained in our using Compute@Edge and VCL migration guides.

The starter doesn't require the use of any backends. Once deployed, you will have a Fastly service running on Compute@Edge that can generate synthetic responses at the edge.
