SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing JavaScript and TypeScript projects often requires juggling separate tools for package management, bundling, testing, and script execution, which slows down development and complicates monorepo setups. ## Core Features & Use Cases - bunx Command Execution: Run CLI tools like eslint, prettier, and create-vite without global installs or version drift. - Workspace Monorepo Management: Define workspaces in package.json, link local packages with the workspace:* protocol, and run filtered commands across packages. - Lockfile and Dependency Reproducibility: Generate and commit bun.lockb, install with --frozen-lockfile in CI, and pin exact dependency versions. - Built-in Bundling and Testing: Bundle TypeScript with bun build and run tests with the native bun test runner, no external tools required. - Use Case: A team maintaining a monorepo with a Next.js app and shared packages uses bun install at the root, bun --filter web run dev for development, and bun test --recursive in CI for fast, reproducible builds. ## Quick Start Set up a Bun monorepo with workspaces for my packages and apps directories, then show me how to run dev and tests across them.

Frequently Asked Questions about bun-runtime

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Bun monorepo with workspaces?▼

Define workspaces in the root package.json with paths like packages/* and apps/*, then run bun install at the root. Use the workspace:* protocol in dependencies to link local packages, and run commands per workspace with bun --filter.

What is bunx and how does it differ from npx?▼

bunx runs CLI tools without global installs, fetching the latest or pinned version into a temporary directory each time. It replaces npx for commands like eslint, prettier, and create-vite, avoiding global environment pollution.

Should I commit bun.lockb to git?▼

Yes, commit bun.lockb to version control for reproducible installs across machines and CI. It is a compact binary lockfile, and CI pipelines should use bun install --frozen-lockfile to guarantee exact dependency versions.

Can I use Bun with Next.js and Vite projects?▼

Yes, scaffold projects with bunx create-next-app or bunx create-vite, then use bun install, bun run dev, and bun run build. Bun handles TypeScript natively without a separate transpile step.

Will my existing npm packages work with Bun?▼

Most npm packages work because Bun is npm-compatible, but you should test critical dependencies first since some edge cases differ from Node.js. Avoid mixing package managers like npm or yarn inside a Bun project.

Why is Bun faster than Node.js for startup and installs?▼

Bun is written in Rust, uses the JavaScriptCore engine, ships as a single binary, and supports TypeScript natively without transpilation. Typical workflows see roughly 4x faster startup and significantly faster package installs.
