Discretize serverless apply

Since we use a strictly static site we have to use serverless functions for the application process. This projects contains the serverless function for cloudflare workers, that we use to handle incoming applications.

Two things happen:

1. The incoming application gets saved into a google sheet, which is behind a nocodeapi.com endpoint
2. A discord broadcast is sent via a webhook

Local development

1. Create the file wrangler.toml with your account cloudflare account id

name = "discretize-serverless-apply"
type = "javascript"

account_id = "$accountId"
workers_dev = true
route = ""
zone_id = ""
compatibility_date = "2021-10-08"

2. Setup the secrets:

ORIGIN_URL is the url to the website

$ wrangler secret put DISCORD_WEBHOOK
$ wrangler secret put NOCODEAPI_URL
$ wrangler secret put ORIGIN_URL

3. Then, after installing wrangler you should be able to execcute wrangler dev to launch the development server.

Publishing

If you setup your wrangler.toml correctly, all that is required for publishing is executing wrangler publish
