Bun Runtime Development Guide

This skill is intentionally grounded in official Bun documentation. Bun moves quickly, so prefer current docs over hard-coded release timelines or benchmark claims.

Project Setup

Initialize a new project

bun init                      # Interactive setup (package.json + tsconfig.json)
bun init -y                   # Accept defaults
bun create <template> <dir>   # Scaffold from a template

TypeScript notes

• Bun runs TypeScript directly.
• bun init generates a compatible tsconfig.json.
• Add extra typing packages only when your editor/toolchain requires them.

Package Management

Essential commands

bun install
bun add <pkg>
bun add -d <pkg>
bun add -g <pkg>
bun remove <pkg>
bun update
bunx <pkg>

Lockfile

• bun.lock is the default text lockfile format in modern Bun.
• bun.lockb remains supported for compatibility.
• Force text lockfile output:

bun install --save-text-lockfile

Diagnostics and security

bun why <pkg>
bun audit
bun list
bun pm migrate

Monorepo catalogs

Bun supports dependency catalogs in workspace roots:

{
  "workspaces": {
    "packages": ["packages/*"],
    "catalog": {
      "react": "^19.0.0",
      "typescript": "^5.7.0"
    }
  }
}

Reference from packages:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "catalog:"
  }
}

Running Code

bun index.ts
bun run start
bun --watch index.ts
bun --hot index.ts
bun run --parallel script1 script2    # run concurrently
bun run --sequential script1 script2  # run one after another

Environment variables

Bun auto-loads .env files. Order is:

1. .env
2. .env.{NODE_ENV} (development, production, test)
3. .env.local

const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;
const bunApiKey = Bun.env.API_KEY;

HTML entrypoints (zero-config)

bun --hot index.html
bun --watch index.html

HTTP Server

Bun supports route-based servers with Bun.serve().

Bun.serve({
  port: 3000,
  routes: {
    "/": new Response("Hello"),
    "/api/users/:id": (req) => Response.json({ id: req.params.id }),
    "/api/posts": {
      GET: () => Response.json({ posts: [] }),
      POST: async (req) => Response.json(await req.json(), { status: 201 }),
    },
  },
  fetch() {
    return new Response("Not Found", { status: 404 });
  },
});

Built-in API Map

Testing and Bundling

Test runner (bun test)

bun test
bun test --watch
bun test --test-name-pattern "auth"
bun test --bail
bun test --coverage
bun test --coverage-reporter text
bun test --path-ignore-patterns "*/fixtures/*"

Bundling

bun build ./src/index.ts --outdir ./dist
bun build --target=bun ./src/server.ts --outfile ./dist/server.js
bun build --compile ./src/cli.ts --outfile ./dist/my-cli
bun build --compile --target=browser ./src/app.ts  # self-contained HTML output

Node.js Migration Checklist

1. Install Bun and run bun install.
2. Keep existing Node APIs where they work; Bun is highly Node-compatible.
3. Replace tooling incrementally (bun test, bun build, bun run).
4. Adopt Bun-native APIs where they simplify code (Bun.serve, sql, redis, s3, Bun.$).
5. Run your full tests in CI on Bun before removing Node-specific fallbacks.

Update Check

On first use in a session, silently check for a newer version:

1. Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abpai/skills/main/versions.json.
2. Compare the version for bun-expert against this file's metadata.version.
3. If the remote version is newer, pause before the main task and ask: bun-expert update available (local {X.Y} → remote {A.B}). Would you like me to update it for you first? I can run npx skills update bun-expert for you.
4. If the user says yes, run the update before continuing.
5. If the user says no, continue with the current local version.
6. If the fetch fails or web access is unavailable, skip silently.
