SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bun Runtime helps you choose and correctly use Bun instead of Node so you can get faster installs, run scripts quickly, and use a built-in test runner without breaking your workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Drop-in Node-compatible runtime: Run JavaScript/TypeScript with Bun’s performance-focused runtime and supported Node-compatible APIs.
  • Fast package management and locking: Use bun install with bun.lock (or bun.lockb on older versions) for reproducible setups.
  • Integrated bundling and testing: Build and test using Bun tooling such as bun build and bun test with a Jest-like API.
  • Migration and platform guidance: Migrate from node workflows, and configure Bun for deployments (including Vercel runtime settings).

Quick Start

Use Bun for a new project by running bun install, then start your app with bun run dev and verify everything with bun test.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate from Node to Bun without breaking my existing workflow?

To migrate from Node to Bun, use its drop-in Node-compatible runtime to run JavaScript and TypeScript scripts directly. You can adopt Bun incrementally for faster package management and built-in testing without breaking your existing development workflow.

How do I set up a new JavaScript project using Bun?

To set up a new JavaScript project using Bun, run `bun install` to configure packages using the `bun.lock` lockfile for reproducible setups, then start your application with `bun run dev` and verify functionality using `bun test`.

Does Bun work with Vercel for production runtime deployment configuration?

Yes, Bun works with Vercel for deployment. The runtime provides specific platform guidance to configure Vercel runtime settings, allowing you to deploy your fast, Node-compatible JavaScript applications while maintaining Bun's performance benefits.

How do I run TypeScript files directly without a separate compilation step?

You can run TypeScript files directly without compilation by using Bun's performance-focused runtime. Execute your scripts using `bun run` or `bun x`, which natively supports TypeScript execution and Node-compatible APIs out of the box.

Can I use Bun as a replacement for Jest for local testing?

Yes, you can use Bun as a replacement for Jest by running `bun test`. It provides an integrated test runner with a Jest-like API, allowing you to execute local tests quickly without requiring additional testing dependencies.

What is the correct lockfile behavior when using Bun for package management?

The correct lockfile behavior when using Bun for package management involves using `bun install` to generate and manage `bun.lock` for reproducible setups, or `bun.lockb` on older versions, ensuring fast and consistent package locking across environments.
