FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a unified JavaScript and TypeScript toolchain for running and testing?

The unified toolchain provides a single CLI to install dependencies, run scripts, bundle code, and test JavaScript or TypeScript projects. You initialize with bun init, manage packages with bun install, and execute tasks using standard commands like bun run and bun test.

Can I run TypeScript files directly without a separate compilation step?

Yes, the runtime natively interprets TypeScript files, allowing you to run them directly without a separate compilation step. This eliminates the need for transpilation tools, accelerating development workflows and simplifying project setup.

What is the best way to manage dependencies and bundle JavaScript projects?

Using a unified package manager and bundler is the best way to manage dependencies and bundle JavaScript projects. You use bun install to manage dependencies and bun build to bundle code, ensuring faster iterations and a cohesive workflow.

How do I configure the runtime and test runner for my JavaScript project?

You configure the runtime and test runner by creating a bunfig.toml file in your project. This enforces compatibility with conventional configuration, managing settings for standard commands like bun run and bun test.

Does the Bun test runner work with existing JavaScript testing workflows?

Yes, the Bun test runner works with existing JavaScript testing workflows by providing a built-in command, bun test, to run tests directly within the unified toolchain. This simplifies project setup and accelerates test execution.
