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.

Frequently Asked Questions about bun-runtime

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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.
