README

When TYPO3 is running behind Cloudflare's CDN, this extension is a perfect companion for you.

Installation

You can install this extension by using composer:

composer req b13/cloudflare-cdn

Usage

By default, EXT:cloudflare_cdn ships with a cdn:purge CLI command to purge a full CDN zone or a specific URL within the CDN zone.

It is possible to purge a single or multiple URLs

./vendor/bin/typo3 cdn:purge --url=https://www.exmaple.com/page1 --url=https://www.exmaple.com/page2

or purge a whole CDN Zone

./vendor/bin/typo3 cdn:purge --zone=my-zone-id

Integration into TYPO3 Backend

EXT:cloudflare_cdn can be used in conjunction with TYPO3's Proxy Cache Manager Extension.

Using the Cloudflare CDN Adapter for EXT:proxycachemanager flushes page caches directly when modifying a page. This is perfect if you're dealing with Cloudflare CDN that not just caches your static assets but also your pages.

For this, ensure to set the class \B13\CloudflareCDN\Provider\CloudflareProxyProvider in the settings of EXT:proxycachemanager.

Configuration

This extension purges CDN caches via cURL requests wrapped in Guzzle's API (bundled in TYPO3).

For this, you need a Cloudflare API Token.

API Tokens are generated from the User Profile 'API Tokens' page (see https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens)

Get your Zone ID via Dash in your Zone on the right-side menu.

Ensure to set the environment variable CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN.

Please note that the ProxyProvider needs additional configuration for each zone in

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['cloudflare']['zones'] = [
    'example.com' => 'ZONE_ID'
];

This way, you can use multiple domains in one TYPO3 installation having CDN support.
