Websocket to Container
Forwarding a Websocket request to a Container
WebSocket requests are automatically forwarded to a container using the default fetch
method on the Container class:
import { Container, getContainer } from "@cloudflare/containers";
export class MyContainer extends Container {  defaultPort = 8080;  sleepAfter = "2m";}
export default {  async fetch(request, env) {    // gets default instance and forwards websocket from outside Worker    return getContainer(env.MY_CONTAINER).fetch(request);  },};View a full example in the Container class repository ↗.
