What problem does it solve?
Bun helps you build, run, bundle, and test JavaScript/TypeScript projects faster than using separate Node.js, bundler, and tooling setups.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Single-binary runtime + package manager: Run JS/TS and manage dependencies without switching tools.
- High-performance bundling: Build modern frontends and fullstack apps with bundler features like loaders, CSS support, and minification.
- Native test runner: Execute tests with Bun’s built-in
bun test capabilities for coverage, timeouts, and watch mode.
- Production-ready build options: Create standalone executables and deploy Bun applications across common platforms.
Quick Start
Use Bun to bundle and optimize a fullstack app from TypeScript by asking: "Bundle my TypeScript/React app for production with Bun, using Bun’s fast bundler and minification, and tell me the exact command to run."
