Minimal Typescript client implementing the KV Connect protocol. Access Deno KV remotely from any Javascript environment like Node, Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Deno, or the browser.
- Use
makeRemoteServiceto provide your access token and configure optional setup params - Use the returned service to call
openKv(equiv toDeno.openKv) - The
KVinstance returned can be interacted with via the standard KV api in any Javascript environment.

}All KVKey types are fully supported, as they don't use V8 serialization.
Deno KV values support any structured-serializable JavaScript values, using V8's internal serializer. This makes client interaction from pure Javascript environment without access to V8 internals... tricky.
A default V8 serializer is included that supports a limited subset of values (see below), but can optionally treat the values as opaque bytes using the wrapUnknownValues option. This is often good enough for listing/migrating/logic that behaves on keys only.
We may be able to leverage denoland/v8_valueserializer for a WASM implementation of V8's serializer in the future!
KV value types supported by the default serializer:
| Type | Supported |
|---|---|
null |
✅ |
undefined |
✅ |
true/false |
✅ |
Uint8Array |
✅ |
string |
✅ |
PRs to v8.ts welcome - this would benefit everyone using this library!
If you have access to the V8 serializer on your runtime (like the serialize/deserialize in Node's v8 module), you can pass it into the encodeV8 and decodeV8 options to get full value support. Note you must be using the version that the Deno KV service uses, so this works on Node 18+ only.
