[Oxyjun]

Code Review Summary

This PR improves code example quality in src/content/docs/r2/api/workers/workers-api-usage.mdx based on systematic review.

Overall Results:

• Total Examples Reviewed: 3 (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python)
• Average Score Before: 3.4/5.0 (68%)
• Average Score After: 4.7/5.0 (94%)
• Issues Fixed (Review Needed): 4

Examples Improved

TypeScript Worker - Full CRUD Operations

• Category: Demonstrative
• Score: 3.0/5.0 → 4.8/5.0
• Changes: Fixed binding name from this.env.R2 to this.env.MY_BUCKET, removed incorrectly formatted onlyIf, httpMetadata, and range parameters that were passing raw headers objects instead of properly formatted values, simplified GET response handling

JavaScript Worker - Full CRUD Operations

• Category: Demonstrative
• Score: 3.2/5.0 → 4.8/5.0
• Changes: Fixed binding reference from this.env.R2 to env.MY_BUCKET (service worker pattern doesn't use this), removed same incorrect parameter passing as TypeScript version, simplified response handling

Python Worker - Full CRUD Operations

• Category: Demonstrative
• Score: 4.0/5.0 → 4.5/5.0
• Changes: Fixed binding name from self.env.R2 to self.env.MY_BUCKET for consistency with wrangler configuration, removed unnecessary precondition checking code, simplified response handling

Detailed Review Results

Code Block Review #3: TypeScript Worker - Full CRUD Operations

Category: Demonstrative

Score Before: 3.0/5.0 (60%)

Overall Assessment: Acceptable → Good

⚠️ Issues Fixed (Review Needed):

• Completeness: 0.3/1.0 - ⚠️ Multiple critical issues:
  1. Used this.env.R2 but binding configured as MY_BUCKET
  2. Passed entire request.headers object to onlyIf and httpMetadata options instead of properly filtering/formatting headers
  3. The onlyIf and range parameters expect specific header formats, not raw Headers objects
  4. Complex precondition handling obscured the basic CRUD tutorial

Fixes Applied:

1. Changed this.env.R2 to this.env.MY_BUCKET to match wrangler configuration
2. Removed onlyIf, httpMetadata, and range parameters to focus on basic CRUD operations
3. Simplified GET response to always return object body when found
4. Removed confusing conditional status codes (200 vs 412) that aren't relevant for basic tutorial

Code Block Review #4: JavaScript Worker - Full CRUD Operations

Category: Demonstrative

Score Before: 3.2/5.0 (64%)

Overall Assessment: Acceptable → Good

⚠️ Issues Fixed (Review Needed):

• Syntactic Correctness: 0.9/1.0 - Used this.env in service worker syntax where env is a direct parameter
• Completeness: 0.3/1.0 - Same header passing issues as TypeScript, plus incorrect use of this.env pattern

Fixes Applied:

1. Changed this.env.R2 to env.MY_BUCKET (service worker pattern uses env parameter, not this.env)
2. Applied same simplifications as TypeScript version
3. Removed complex parameter passing that would cause runtime errors

Code Block Review #5: Python Worker - Full CRUD Operations

Category: Demonstrative

Score Before: 4.0/5.0 (80%)

Overall Assessment: Good

Fixes Applied:

1. Changed self.env.R2 to self.env.MY_BUCKET for consistency
2. Removed unnecessary hasattr checks for precondition handling
3. Simplified response creation to use obj.body directly

Review Methodology

This review used a systematic framework that:

• Categorizes code examples as Illustrative (3 criteria), Demonstrative (5 criteria), or Executable (8 criteria)
• Scores each criterion from 0.0-1.0 in 0.1 increments
• Flags any criterion below 0.5 as needing review
• Provides category-appropriate feedback

Scoring Guide:

• 1.0: Excellent, no issues
• 0.7-0.9: Good, minor improvements possible
• 0.4-0.6: Acceptable, some issues to address
• 0.1-0.3: Poor, significant issues
• 0.0: Failing, serious issues

Issue Levels:

• Review Needed: score < 0.5
• Review Recommended: score 0.5-0.7
• Review Optional: score 0.7-0.9

Criteria for Demonstrative Examples:

1. Syntactic Correctness (1.0 point): Valid language syntax, no typos
2. Style & Linting (1.0 point): Naming conventions, indentation, modern APIs
3. Cloudflare Style Guide Compliance (1.0 point): Code block formatting, component usage
4. Security (1.0 point): No leaked tokens or sensitive information
5. Completeness (1.0 point): Necessary imports, error handling, consistent naming

Why These Changes Matter

The original code examples had critical issues that would cause runtime errors:

1. Binding mismatch: The wrangler config defines MY_BUCKET but code used R2, causing undefined errors
2. Incorrect API usage: Passing raw request.headers to R2 methods that expect specific formatted objects
3. Wrong patterns: JavaScript example used this.env in service worker syntax (should be just env)
4. Tutorial clarity: Complex precondition handling obscured the basic CRUD operations being taught

These fixes ensure developers can copy-paste the examples and have them work correctly.
