  • Node Test Runner vs Bun Test Runner (with TypeScript and ESM)
    1 project | dev.to | 26 Apr 2024
    It has a decent compatibility with both Jest and Vitest's APIs (you can track progress here so you can use it as almost a drop-in replacement for either. Just as Node's, it has describe/it, mock, test and others, but with the expect syntax (which I find more readable). For example:
  • SPA-Like Navigation Preserving Web Component State
    2 projects | dev.to | 25 Apr 2024
    In this third and final article in the series on HTML Streaming, we will explore the practical implementation of the Diff DOM Streaming library in web browsing. This approach will allow any website using web components to retain its state during browsing. We will discuss in detail how to achieve this step by step using VanillaJS and Bun.
  • React Server Components Example with Next.js
    9 projects | dev.to | 16 Apr 2024
    At Node Conference 2023, Jarred Sumner (creator of Bun) showed a demo of server components in Bun, so there is at least partial support in that ecosystem. The Bun repo provides bun-plugin-server-components as the official plugin for server components. And while I haven’t looked at it in-depth, Marz claims to be a “React Server Components Framework for Bun”.

  • Bun 1.1
    17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Apr 2024
    Looks like it, it seems the 2% are mostly odd platform specific issues that the authors' did not deem very important (my assumption for the release happening anyway). AFAIK this[1] PR tries to fix them.

  • Bun-ify Your Project
    1 project | dev.to | 6 Mar 2024
    Bun has a solution for it. First of all, it already has a list of trusted dependencies. For them, Bun will execute all necessary scripts by default. Otherwise, you can add it to trustedDependecies in your package.json file. In Bun community usage of trustedDependencies is a hot topic. There are several suggestions on how to improve it.
  • I have created a small anti-depression script

    Install Node.js (or Bun, or Deno, or whatever JS runtime you prefer) if it's not there
  • JSR: The JavaScript Registry
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Mar 2024
    I think maybe I was unclear. I'm talking about writing libraries that abstract across these differences and provide a single API, as sibling describes. I already know it's possible. I made a simple filesystem abstraction here[0] and a very simple HTTP library that uses it here[1]. They both work in Node/Deno and the browser. Unfortunately I ran into issues with Bun's slice implementation[2]. But I suspect there's a much better way of detecting and using the different backends.
