Learn how to execute TypeScript files directly using Bun's built-in transpiler, configure the bunfig.toml for experimental features, and manage the trade-off between execution speed and type safety.
Stop waiting for tsc. Learn how Bun's integrated SWC transpiler allows you to run TypeScript files directly in memory for a zero-setup development workflow.
Learn how Bun’s esbuild‑based bundler gives you instant builds for small JavaScript projects, with a concrete example, trade‑offs and next steps.
Bun lets you execute TypeScript files without a separate compiler step. This guide shows how Bun’s built‑in transpiler works, a full runnable example, and the key limitations and pitfalls you should avoid.
Stop fighting with Jest configurations. Learn how Bun's integrated test runner eliminates the need for separate compilers and assertion libraries for TypeScript projects.
Bun’s single‑pass bundler slashes build times by up to 80% in large monorepos. A hands‑on example shows how to bundle TypeScript, JSX, and CSS with one command, compare timing to esbuild, and discuss trade‑offs like dynamic imports and code splitting.
Stop fighting with native C++ bindings. Learn how Bun's built‑in sqlite module eliminates installation overhead and improves local persistence performance through synchronous execution.
Learn how to produce a single, executable JavaScript bundle from a TypeScript codebase using Bun v0.7+, verify the output, and recover from common bundling issues.
