 If your build tooling already produces build artifacts suitable for direct deployment to Cloudflare, you can opt out of bundling by using the `--no-bundle` command line flag: `npx wrangler deploy --no-bundle`. If you opt out of bundling, Wrangler will not process your code and some features introduced by Wrangler bundling (for example minification, and polyfills injection) will not be available.
 
 Use [Custom Builds](/workers/wrangler/custom-builds/) to customize what Wrangler will bundle and upload to the Cloudflare global network when you use [`wrangler dev`](/workers/wrangler/commands/#dev) and [`wrangler deploy`](/workers/wrangler/commands/#deploy).

To manage routes via the Cloudflare dashboard only, remove any route and routes keys from your Wrangler configuration file. Then add `workers_dev = false` to your Wrangler configuration file.

+## Generated Wrangler configuration
+
+:::note
+
+This section describes a feature that can be implemented by frameworks and other build tools that are integrating with Wrangler.
+
+It is unlikely that an application developer will need to use this feature, but it is documented here to help you understand when Wrangler is using a generated configuration rather than the original, user's configuration.
+
+:::
+
+Some framework tools, or custom pre-build processes, generate a modified Wrangler configuration to be used to deploy the Worker code.
+In this case, the tool may also create a special `.wrangler/deploy/config.json` file that redirects Wrangler to use the generated configuration rather than the original, user's configuration.
+
+Wrangler uses this generated configuration only for the following deploy and dev related commands:
+
+- `wrangler deploy`
+- `wrangler dev`
+- `wrangler versions upload`
+- `wrangler versions deploy`
+- `wrangler pages deploy`
+- `wrangler pages build`
+- `wrangler pages build-env`
+
+When running these commands, Wrangler looks up the directory tree from the current working directory for a file at the path `.wrangler/deploy/config.json`.
+This file must contain only a single JSON object of the form:
+
+```json
+{ "configPath": "../../path/to/wrangler.json" }
+```
+
+When this `config.json` file exists, Wrangler will follow the `configPath` (relative to the `.wrangler/deploy/config.json` file) to find the generated Wrangler configuration file to load and use in the current command.
+Wrangler will display messaging to the user to indicate that the configuration has been redirected to a different file than the user's configuration file.
+
+### Custom build tool example
+
+A common example of using a redirected configuration is where a custom build tool, or framework, wants to modify the user's configuration to be used when deploying, by generating a new configuration in a `dist` directory.
+
+- First, the user writes code that uses Cloudflare Workers resources, configured via a user's `wrangler.toml` file.
+
+  ```toml
+  name = "my-worker"
+  main = "src/index.ts"
+  [[kv_namespaces]]
+  binding = "<BINDING_NAME1>"
+  id = "<NAMESPACE_ID1>"
+  ```
+
+  Note that this configuration points `main` at the user's code entry-point.
+
+- Then, the user runs a custom build, which might read the user's `wrangler.toml` to find the source code entry-point:
+
+  ```bash
+  > my-tool build
+  ```
+
+- This `my-tool` generates a `dist` directory that contains both compiled code and a new generated deployment configuration file.
+  It also creates a `.wrangler/deploy/config.json` file that redirects Wrangler to the new, generated deployment configuration file:
+
+  <FileTree>
+
+  - dist
+    - index.js
+    - wrangler.json
+  - .wrangler
+    - deploy
+      - config.json
+
+  </FileTree>
+
+  The generated `dist/wrangler.json` might contain:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+  	"name": "my-worker",
+  	"main": "./index.js",
+  	"kv_namespaces": [{ "binding": "<BINDING_NAME1>", "id": "<NAMESPACE_ID1>" }]
+  }
+  ```
+
+  Note that, now, the `main` property points to the generated code entry-point.
+
+  And the `.wrangler/deploy/config.json` contains the path to the generated configuration file:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+  	"configPath": "../../dist/wrangler.json"
+  }
+  ```
