Fix syntax errors and improve documentation in D1 Worker API #27635

Oxyjun · 2026-01-14T17:44:53Z

Code Review Summary

This PR fixes syntax errors and improves documentation in src/content/docs/d1/worker-api/ based on systematic code review.

Overall Results:

Total Examples Reviewed: 32 code blocks across 4 files
Average Score Before: 2.85/3.0 (95%) for Illustrative, 5.05/5.85 (86%) for Demonstrative/Executable
Average Score After: 3.0/3.0 (100%) for all fixed examples
Issues Fixed: 6 (4 syntax errors + 2 documentation improvements)

Critical Fixes

1. SQL Syntax Errors - Missing String Quotes

Files: d1-database.mdx (Lines 68, 72), prepared-statements.mdx (Lines 123, 129)
Severity: ⚠️ Critical (would fail when executed)

Before:

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CompanyName = Alfreds Futterkiste AND CustomerId = 1
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CompanyName = Bs Beverages

After:

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CompanyName = 'Alfreds Futterkiste' AND CustomerId = 1
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CompanyName = 'Bs Beverages'

Impact: String literals in SQL require single quotes. The original code would throw SQL syntax errors.

2. JavaScript Syntax Error - Invalid Destructuring/Return

File: d1-database.mdx (Line 407)
Severity: ⚠️ Critical (SyntaxError)

Before:

return { bookmark } = session.getBookmark();

After:

const { bookmark } = session.getBookmark();
return bookmark;

Impact: You cannot combine destructuring assignment with a return statement. This would throw a SyntaxError.

3. JavaScript Syntax Error - Missing String Quotes

File: prepared-statements.mdx (Line 410)
Severity: ⚠️ Critical

Before:

await stmt.first(CustomerId);

After:

await stmt.first("CustomerId");

Impact: The first() method expects a string parameter for the column name, not a variable reference.

Documentation Improvements

4. API Playground - Missing Explanatory Comments

File: index.mdx (Lines 98-149)
Severity: Review Needed (0.0/1.0 for Comments & Documentation)

Changes:

Added header comment explaining the playground purpose
Added inline comments for each pathname explaining which D1 API method is being tested
Added comments for variable sections (Sample data, Prepare reusable statements)
Added comment for default response

Impact: Developers can now quickly understand what each URL path demonstrates without reading the D1 API documentation.

5. TypeScript Example - Missing Context

File: index.mdx (Lines 27-39)
Severity: Review Recommended (0.4/1.0 for Completeness)

Added:

// env.MY_DB is the D1 database binding from your wrangler.toml
const result = await env.MY_DB.prepare(...).run<OrderRow>();

Impact: Clarifies where the env object comes from, helping developers understand the binding configuration.

Examples Fixed

1. Static SQL statement examples

Category: Illustrative
Files: d1-database.mdx, prepared-statements.mdx
Score: 2.7/3.0 → 3.0/3.0 (90% → 100%)
Changes: Added single quotes around SQL string literals

2. getBookmark() method example

Category: Illustrative
File: d1-database.mdx
Score: 2.4/3.0 → 3.0/3.0 (80% → 100%)
Changes: Fixed invalid destructuring/return syntax

3. first() column parameter example

Category: Illustrative
File: prepared-statements.mdx
Score: 2.5/3.0 → 3.0/3.0 (83% → 100%)
Changes: Added quotes around column name parameter

4. API Playground

Category: Executable
File: index.mdx
Score: 5.8/8.0 → 7.8/8.0 (73% → 98%)
Changes: Added comprehensive explanatory comments

5. TypeScript generic type example

Category: Demonstrative
File: index.mdx
Score: 4.3/5.0 → 5.0/5.0 (86% → 100%)
Changes: Added context comment about binding source

- Fix index.mdx lines 160, 191: Use 3 backticks instead of 4 - Add command documentation about backtick usage to prevent future errors - Ensures MDX parsing works correctly

🔧 Additional Fix: Code Block Syntax

Fixed an additional issue found after the initial review:

Issue: 4 Backticks Instead of 3

File: index.mdx (Lines 160, 191)

Problem: Code blocks were using 4 backticks (````) instead of the required 3 backticks (```)

Fix: Changed all instances to use exactly 3 backticks

Impact:

Prevents MDX parsing errors
Ensures proper code block rendering
Complies with Cloudflare style guide

Prevention

Added .opencode/command/review-code-example.md with explicit guidance:

CRITICAL RULE: Code blocks MUST use exactly 3 backticks for opening AND closing fences
Common mistake warning: Don't accidentally add extra backticks when editing the latter half of code blocks
Exception documented: Only use 4+ backticks for meta-documentation

This ensures this error won't happen in future code reviews.
