Deploying static site to Workers is now easier. When you run wrangler deploy [directory] or wrangler deploy --assets [directory] without an existing configuration file, Wrangler CLI now guides you through the deployment process with interactive prompts.

Before: Required remembering multiple flags and parameters

wrangler deploy --assets ./dist --compatibility-date 2025-09-09 --name my-project

After: Simple directory deployment with guided setup

wrangler deploy dist
# Interactive prompts handle the rest as shown in the example flow below

Interactive prompts for missing configuration:

• Wrangler detects when you're trying to deploy a directory of static assets
• Prompts you to confirm the deployment type
• Asks for a project name (with smart defaults)
• Automatically sets the compatibility date to today

Automatic configuration generation:

• Creates a wrangler.jsonc file with your deployment settings
• Stores your choices for future deployments
• Eliminates the need to remember complex command-line flags

# Deploy your built static site
wrangler deploy dist
# Wrangler will prompt:
✔ It looks like you are trying to deploy a directory of static assets only. Is this correct? … yes
✔ What do you want to name your project? … my-astro-site
# Automatically generates a wrangler.jsonc file and adds it to your project:
{
  "name": "my-astro-site",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-09-09",
  "assets": {
    "directory": "dist"
  }
}
# Next time you run wrangler deploy, this will use the configuration in your newly generated wrangler.jsonc file
wrangler deploy

• You must use Wrangler version 4.24.4 or later in order to use this feature
