  3  globs: "*.ts, *.tsx, *.html, *.css, *.js, *.jsx, package.json"

  6  
  7  Default to using Bun instead of Node.js.
  8  
  9  - Use `bun <file>` instead of `node <file>` or `ts-node <file>`
 10  - Use `bun test` instead of `jest` or `vitest`
 11  - Use `bun build <file.html|file.ts|file.css>` instead of `webpack` or `esbuild`
 12  - Use `bun install` instead of `npm install` or `yarn install` or `pnpm install`
 13  - Use `bun run <script>` instead of `npm run <script>` or `yarn run <script>` or `pnpm run <script>`
 14  - Use `bunx <package> <command>` instead of `npx <package> <command>`
 15  - Bun automatically loads .env, so don't use dotenv.
 16  
 17  ## APIs
 18  
 19  - `Bun.serve()` supports WebSockets, HTTPS, and routes. Don't use `express`.
 20  - `bun:sqlite` for SQLite. Don't use `better-sqlite3`.
 21  - `Bun.redis` for Redis. Don't use `ioredis`.
 22  - `Bun.sql` for Postgres. Don't use `pg` or `postgres.js`.
 23  - `WebSocket` is built-in. Don't use `ws`.
 24  - Prefer `Bun.file` over `node:fs`'s readFile/writeFile
 25  - Bun.$`ls` instead of execa.
 26  
 27  ## Testing
 28  
 29  Use `bun test` to run tests.
 30  
 31  ```ts#index.test.ts
 32  import { test, expect } from "bun:test";
 33  
 34  test("hello world", () => {
 35    expect(1).toBe(1);
 36  });
 37  ```
 38  
 39  ## Frontend
 40  
 41  Use HTML imports with `Bun.serve()`. Don't use `vite`. HTML imports fully support React, CSS, Tailwind.
 42  
 43  Server:
 44  
 45  ```ts#index.ts
 46  import index from "./index.html"
 47  
 48  Bun.serve({
 49    routes: {
 50      "/": index,
 51      "/api/users/:id": {
 52        GET: (req) => {
 53          return new Response(JSON.stringify({ id: req.params.id }));
 54        },
 55      },
 56    },
 57    // optional websocket support
 58    websocket: {
 59      open: (ws) => {
 60        ws.send("Hello, world!");
 61      },
 62      message: (ws, message) => {
 63        ws.send(message);
 64      },
 65      close: (ws) => {
 66        // handle close
 67      }
 68    },
 69    development: {
 70      hmr: true,
 71      console: true,
 72    }
 73  })
 74  ```
 75  
 76  HTML files can import .tsx, .jsx or .js files directly and Bun's bundler will transpile & bundle automatically. `<link>` tags can point to stylesheets and Bun's CSS bundler will bundle.
 77  
 78  ```html#index.html
 79  <html>
 80    <body>
 81      <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
 82      <script type="module" src="./frontend.tsx"></script>
 83    </body>
 84  </html>
 85  ```
 86  
 87  With the following `frontend.tsx`:
 88  
 89  ```tsx#frontend.tsx
 90  import React from "react";
 91  import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
 92  
 93  // import .css files directly and it works
 94  import './index.css';
 95  
 96  const root = createRoot(document.body);
 97  
 98  export default function Frontend() {
 99    return <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;
100  }
101  
102  root.render(<Frontend />);
103  ```
104  
105  Then, run index.ts
106  
107  ```sh
108  bun --hot ./index.ts
109  ```
