3. Publish Configuration (Optional)

Publish the D1 configuration file to customize security and performance settings:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=d1-config

This creates config/d1.php with all available options.

4. Add Database Connection

Update your config/database.php file to include the D1 connection:

'connections' => [
    // ... your existing connections
    
    'd1' => [
        'driver' => 'd1',
        'prefix' => '',
        'database' => env('CLOUDFLARE_D1_DATABASE_ID', ''),
        'api' => 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4',
        'auth' => [
            'token' => env('CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN', ''),
            'account_id' => env('CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID', ''),
        ],
        // Optional: Security and performance configuration
        'rate_limit' => [
            'enabled' => env('D1_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED', true),
            'max_attempts' => env('D1_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_ATTEMPTS', 100),
            'decay_seconds' => env('D1_RATE_LIMIT_DECAY_SECONDS', 60),
        ],
        'retry' => [
            'enabled' => env('D1_RETRY_ENABLED', true),
            'max_retries' => env('D1_RETRY_MAX_RETRIES', 3),
        ],
        'cache' => [
            'enabled' => env('D1_CACHE_ENABLED', true),
            'ttl' => env('D1_CACHE_TTL', 300),
        ],
    ],
],

4. Set Default Connection (Optional)

To use D1 as your default database connection:

'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'd1'),

Or in your .env:

DB_CONNECTION=d1

Usage

Using Eloquent Models

Once configured, you can use D1 just like any Laravel database connection:

use App\Models\User;

// Create a new user
$user = User::create([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => 'john@example.com',
]);

// Query users
$users = User::where('email', 'john@example.com')->get();

// Update
$user->update(['name' => 'Jane Doe']);

// Delete
$user->delete();

Using Query Builder

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

// Select
$users = DB::connection('d1')
    ->table('users')
    ->where('status', 'active')
    ->get();

// Insert
DB::connection('d1')->table('users')->insert([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => 'john@example.com',
]);

// Update
DB::connection('d1')
    ->table('users')
    ->where('id', 1)
    ->update(['status' => 'inactive']);

// Raw queries
$results = DB::connection('d1')->select(
    'SELECT * FROM users WHERE created_at > ?',
    [now()->subDays(30)]
);

Using Migrations

Create migrations just like you would for any Laravel database:

php artisan make:migration create_users_table

Then in your migration:

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::connection('d1')->create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email')->unique();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down(): void
    {
        Schema::connection('d1')->dropIfExists('users');
    }
};

Run migrations:

php artisan migrate --database=d1

Using Raw PDO (Advanced)

For advanced use cases, you can use the PDO interface directly:

use dmits\db1\D1\Pdo\D1Pdo;
use dmits\db1\CloudflareD1Connector;

$pdo = new D1Pdo(
    dsn: 'sqlite::memory:', // DSN is not used, but required for PDO
    connector: new CloudflareD1Connector(
        database: env('CLOUDFLARE_D1_DATABASE_ID'),
        token: env('CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN'),
        accountId: env('CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID'),
        apiUrl: 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4',
    ),
);

$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?');
$stmt->execute([1]);
$user = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

How It Works

Cloudflare D1 doesn't support direct SQL protocol connections. This package:

Intercepts Laravel database queries through the d1 driver
Converts queries and bindings to Cloudflare D1 API format
Sends requests to Cloudflare's D1 /query endpoint
Returns results in a format compatible with Laravel's database layer

All of this happens transparently - you use D1 exactly like you would MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite.

Testing

This package includes comprehensive test coverage for security and performance.

Start the Test Worker

In one terminal:

cd tests/worker
npm ci
npm run start

The worker will start on http://127.0.0.1:8787.

Run Tests

# Run all tests
composer test

# Run security tests only
composer test:security

# Run performance tests only
composer test:performance

# Run specific test suite
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/D1Test.php
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/SecurityTest.php
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/PerformanceTest.php

Security Audit

Check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies:

composer audit
composer security-check  # Runs audit + security tests

Testing Configuration

For testing, use these environment variables:

# Required for testing
CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN=test
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=1234
CLOUDFLARE_D1_DATABASE_ID=DB1
DB_CONNECTION=d1

# Optional: Disable security features for testing
D1_SECURE_MODE=false
D1_ALLOW_SCHEMA_OPERATIONS=true
D1_CACHE_ENABLED=false
D1_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=false
D1_RETRY_ENABLED=false

And in your test configuration, point to the local worker:

'api' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8787/api/client/v4',

Security

Security is our top priority. This package implements comprehensive security measures:

✅ Input Validation - All parameters are validated before use
✅ Path Traversal Protection - Prevents URL manipulation attacks
✅ Error Message Sanitization - Prevents information disclosure (DB-IDs masked in production)
✅ HTTPS Enforcement - Secure communication in production
✅ SQL Injection Prevention - Parameterized queries + query structure validation
✅ Rate Limiting - Prevents API abuse (configurable per connection)
✅ Query Validation - Blocks dangerous SQL keywords (DROP, TRUNCATE, etc.)
✅ Secure Credentials - Config-based secrets management
✅ CSRF/XSS Protection - Security middleware available
✅ Authorization Policies - Policies/Gates for D1 access control

Security Configuration

Publish the configuration file to customize security settings:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=d1-config

Then configure in config/d1.php:

'security' => [
    'secure_mode' => true,              // Enable strict validation
    'mask_db_ids' => true,               // Mask DB IDs in error messages (production)
    'validate_queries' => true,          // Validate SQL query structure
    'allow_schema_operations' => false,  // Block CREATE/DROP/ALTER in production
],

Security Best Practices

Never commit credentials - Always use environment variables
Use HTTPS - Only allow HTTP for localhost in development
Validate input - Use Laravel's validation in your application layer
Use Query Builder - Prefer Eloquent/Query Builder over raw SQL
Keep updated - Regularly update dependencies: composer audit
Enable secure mode - Set D1_SECURE_MODE=true in production
Use rate limiting - Configure appropriate limits for your use case
Monitor error logs - Watch for suspicious patterns

Reporting Security Issues

Please do not create public issues for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, email d.mueller@dustiiin.de with details. We respond to security reports within 48 hours.

Limitations

D1 supports SQLite syntax but has some limitations compared to full SQLite
Transactions are supported but work differently than traditional databases
Some advanced SQLite features may not be available
Queries are executed via API, so there's network latency

Refer to Cloudflare D1 documentation for full feature details.

Troubleshooting

Connection Errors

Error: "Invalid database ID format"

Verify your CLOUDFLARE_D1_DATABASE_ID is a valid UUID
Check that the database ID exists in your Cloudflare account

Error: "Authentication failed"

Verify your API token has D1 read/write permissions
Check that your CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID is correct
Ensure your token hasn't expired

Query Errors

Error: "SQL query cannot be empty"

Ensure you're not passing empty queries
Check that your migrations ran successfully

Error: "Unsupported fetch mode"

Currently supports PDO::FETCH_ASSOC and PDO::FETCH_OBJ
Use Eloquent or Query Builder for best compatibility

Performance

This package is optimized for high performance with zero overhead:

✅ Query Caching - Automatic caching for SELECT queries (Redis/Memcached)
✅ Query Batching - Batch multiple queries into single requests (respects 100KB limit)
✅ Bulk Insert Optimization - 20x faster bulk inserts via optimized SQL
✅ Connection Pooling - Efficient connection management
✅ Retry with Exponential Backoff - Handles EU-D1 dropouts automatically
✅ Rate Limiting - Prevents API abuse while maintaining performance
✅ Zero Overhead - Direct REST API, minimal latency (<50ms per query)

Performance Configuration

'performance' => [
    'cache_enabled' => true,           // Enable query result caching
    'cache_ttl' => 300,                // Cache TTL in seconds (5 minutes)
    'batch_enabled' => true,           // Enable query batching
    'batch_max_size' => 102400,        // Max batch size (100KB)
    'batch_max_queries' => 100,        // Max queries per batch
],

'retry' => [
    'enabled' => true,                 // Enable automatic retries
    'max_retries' => 3,                 // Max retry attempts
    'initial_delay_ms' => 100,         // Initial delay (exponential backoff)
    'max_delay_ms' => 5000,            // Maximum delay
    'backoff_multiplier' => 2.0,       // Backoff multiplier
],

Performance Benchmarks

1000 Inserts: <200ms total (with batching)
Query Validation: <5ms per query
Cache Operations: <5ms per operation
Rate Limiter: <100ms for 1000 operations
Bulk Insert Optimization: 20x faster than individual inserts

Run performance tests:

composer test:performance

EU D1 Optimization

For EU-based applications, configure EU endpoint for lower latency:

'eu' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'api_url' => 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4', // EU endpoint
],

EU D1 Tips:

Use EU endpoint for EU users (lower latency)
Enable retry logic for handling transient dropouts
Use caching to reduce API calls
Batch queries when possible
Monitor slow queries (>1000ms logged automatically)
