Stons Center

Detroit Pistons web app for news, roster, stats and live scores. Live at stonscenter.com.

One Cloudflare Worker serves the whole thing:

• client/ — Vite + React + Tailwind SPA, served as static assets.
• worker/ — the API and an hourly cron. The cron pulls Pistons news from Google News RSS and ESPN's team feed (merged; Google throttles Cloudflare some hours), the roster from nba.com (ESPN as fallback), attaches per-game stats from ESPN, and stores two JSON blobs in KV. /api/news and /api/roster read them back. Schedules and live scores come from ESPN straight from the browser.

Everything runs on the Cloudflare free tier.

Develop

npm install
npm --prefix client install
npm run build          # builds client/dist
npm run dev            # Worker + static assets on http://localhost:8787

npm run dev runs with --test-scheduled, so you can fire the cron by hand:

curl 'http://localhost:8787/__scheduled?cron=0+*+*+*+*'
curl http://localhost:8787/api/status

For hot reload on the client, run npm run dev in client/ in a second terminal. Vite proxies /api to the Worker on 8787.

Deploy

Pushes to master deploy through Workers Builds (Cloudflare's Git integration). Build command npm run build, deploy command npx wrangler deploy. To deploy by hand:

npm run deploy

Check it is healthy

curl https://stonscenter.com/api/status

Shows the last cron run and whether each job succeeded.

Run the cron by hand

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $REFRESH_TOKEN" https://stonscenter.com/api/refresh

REFRESH_TOKEN is a Worker secret (wrangler secret put REFRESH_TOKEN). For local dev put it in .dev.vars.
