## `Bun.CryptoHasher`
|
||||
|
||||
_Bun only_. Hardware-accelerated cryptographic hash functions. This is the class used internally by `crypto.createHash()` and provides a more direct interface for high-performance hashing operations.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a hasher
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { CryptoHasher } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
const hasher = new CryptoHasher("sha256");
|
||||
console.log(hasher.algorithm); // => "sha256"
|
||||
console.log(hasher.byteLength); // => 32 (SHA-256 output size)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating with data
|
||||
|
||||
The `update()` method adds data to be hashed. It can be called multiple times to process data incrementally.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const hasher = new CryptoHasher("sha256");
|
||||
|
||||
// Add data in chunks
|
||||
hasher.update("Hello");
|
||||
hasher.update(" ");
|
||||
hasher.update("World");
|
||||
|
||||
// Different data types supported
|
||||
hasher.update(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]));
|
||||
hasher.update(Buffer.from("more data"));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting the final hash
|
||||
|
||||
Use `digest()` to finalize the hash and get the result. This resets the hasher so it can be reused.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const hasher = new CryptoHasher("sha256");
|
||||
hasher.update("Hello World");
|
||||
|
||||
// Get hash as different formats
|
||||
const hexHash = hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
console.log(hexHash); // => "a591a6d40bf420404a011733cfb7b190d62c65bf0bcda32b57b277d9ad9f146e"
|
||||
|
||||
// Hasher is reset, can be reused
|
||||
hasher.update("New data");
|
||||
const buffer = hasher.digest(); // Returns Buffer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Copying hashers
|
||||
|
||||
The `copy()` method creates a deep copy of the hasher's current state, useful for computing multiple hashes from a common prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const hasher = new CryptoHasher("sha256");
|
||||
hasher.update("Common prefix: ");
|
||||
|
||||
// Create copies for different suffixes
|
||||
const copy1 = hasher.copy();
|
||||
const copy2 = hasher.copy();
|
||||
|
||||
copy1.update("suffix 1");
|
||||
copy2.update("suffix 2");
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(copy1.digest("hex")); // Hash of "Common prefix: suffix 1"
|
||||
console.log(copy2.digest("hex")); // Hash of "Common prefix: suffix 2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported algorithms
|
||||
|
||||
The following cryptographic hash algorithms are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// SHA family
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("sha1");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("sha224");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("sha256");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("sha384");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("sha512");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("sha512-256");
|
||||
|
||||
// BLAKE2 family (very fast)
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("blake2b256");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("blake2b512");
|
||||
|
||||
// MD family (not recommended for security)
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("md4");
|
||||
new CryptoHasher("md5");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
`CryptoHasher` uses hardware acceleration when available and is optimized for high throughput:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Benchmark different algorithms
|
||||
const algorithms = ["sha256", "blake2b256", "md5"];
|
||||
const data = "x".repeat(1024 * 1024); // 1MB of data
|
||||
|
||||
for (const algo of algorithms) {
|
||||
const hasher = new CryptoHasher(algo);
|
||||
console.time(algo);
|
||||
hasher.update(data);
|
||||
const hash = hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
console.timeEnd(algo);
|
||||
console.log(`${algo}: ${hash.slice(0, 16)}...`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming large files
|
||||
|
||||
For processing large files efficiently:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
async function hashFile(path: string, algorithm = "sha256"): Promise<string> {
|
||||
const hasher = new CryptoHasher(algorithm);
|
||||
const file = Bun.file(path);
|
||||
|
||||
// Process file in chunks
|
||||
const stream = file.stream();
|
||||
const reader = stream.getReader();
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
while (true) {
|
||||
const { done, value } = await reader.read();
|
||||
if (done) break;
|
||||
|
||||
hasher.update(value);
|
||||
}
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
reader.releaseLock();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const hash = await hashFile("large-file.bin");
|
||||
console.log(`File hash: ${hash}`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with crypto module
|
||||
|
||||
`CryptoHasher` is the underlying implementation for Node.js-compatible crypto functions:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import crypto from "crypto";
|
||||
import { CryptoHasher } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
// These are equivalent:
|
||||
const nodeHash = crypto.createHash("sha256").update("data").digest("hex");
|
||||
const bunHash = new CryptoHasher("sha256").update("data").digest("hex");
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(nodeHash === bunHash); // => true
|
||||

## Individual Hash Algorithm Classes
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the generic `Bun.CryptoHasher`, Bun provides individual classes for each supported hash algorithm. These offer a more direct API and can be slightly more performant for specific use cases.
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Hash Classes
|
||||
|
||||
The following individual hash classes are available:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Bun.MD4` - MD4 hash algorithm (16 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.MD5` - MD5 hash algorithm (16 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.SHA1` - SHA-1 hash algorithm (20 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.SHA224` - SHA-224 hash algorithm (28 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.SHA256` - SHA-256 hash algorithm (32 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.SHA384` - SHA-384 hash algorithm (48 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.SHA512` - SHA-512 hash algorithm (64 bytes)
|
||||
- `Bun.SHA512_256` - SHA-512/256 hash algorithm (32 bytes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Instance Methods
|
||||
|
||||
Each hash class provides the same interface:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Create a new hasher instance
|
||||
const hasher = new Bun.SHA256();
|
||||
|
||||
// Update with data (can be called multiple times)
|
||||
hasher.update("hello");
|
||||
hasher.update(" world");
|
||||
|
||||
// Get the final hash
|
||||
const hash = hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
console.log(hash);
|
||||
// => "b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `.update()` method accepts strings, `TypedArray`, `ArrayBuffer`, and `Blob` objects:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const hasher = new Bun.SHA256();
|
||||
hasher.update("hello");
|
||||
hasher.update(new Uint8Array([32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100])); // " world"
|
||||
hasher.update(new ArrayBuffer(1));
|
||||
|
||||
const result = hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `.digest()` method can return the hash in different formats:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const hasher = new Bun.SHA256();
|
||||
hasher.update("hello world");
|
||||
|
||||
// As a Uint8Array (default)
|
||||
const bytes = hasher.digest();
|
||||
|
||||
// As a hex string
|
||||
const hex = hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
|
||||
// As a base64 string
|
||||
const base64 = hasher.digest("base64");
|
||||
|
||||
// As a base64url string
|
||||
const base64url = hasher.digest("base64url");
|
||||
|
||||
// Write directly into a TypedArray (more efficient)
|
||||
const buffer = new Uint8Array(32);
|
||||
hasher.digest(buffer);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{% callout %}
|
||||
**Important**: Once `.digest()` is called on a hasher instance, it cannot be reused. Calling `.update()` or `.digest()` again will throw an error. Create a new instance for each hash operation.
|
||||
{% /callout %}
|
||||
|
||||
### Static Methods
|
||||
|
||||
Each hash class also provides a static `.hash()` method for one-shot hashing:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Hash a string and return as hex
|
||||
const hex = Bun.SHA256.hash("hello world", "hex");
|
||||
// => "b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"
|
||||
|
||||
// Hash and return as Uint8Array
|
||||
const bytes = Bun.SHA256.hash("hello world");
|
||||
|
||||
// Hash directly into a buffer (most efficient)
|
||||
const buffer = new Uint8Array(32);
|
||||
Bun.SHA256.hash("hello world", buffer);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Properties
|
||||
|
||||
Each hash class has a static `byteLength` property indicating the output size:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
console.log(Bun.SHA256.byteLength); // => 32
|
||||
console.log(Bun.SHA1.byteLength); // => 20
|
||||
console.log(Bun.MD5.byteLength); // => 16
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
{% callout type="warning" %}
|
||||
**Legacy Algorithms**: MD4, MD5, and SHA1 are considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security-sensitive applications. They are provided for compatibility with legacy systems only.
|
||||
|
||||
- **MD4**: Severely broken, avoid entirely
|
||||
- **MD5**: Vulnerable to collision attacks, suitable only for checksums
|
||||
- **SHA1**: Deprecated due to collision vulnerabilities, avoid for new applications
|
||||
|
||||
For new applications, use SHA-256 or higher.
|
||||
{% /callout %}
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
The individual hash classes are optimized for performance:
|
||||
|
||||
- **SHA-256**: Excellent balance of security and performance, recommended for most use cases
|
||||
- **SHA-512**: Faster than SHA-256 on 64-bit systems, larger output
|
||||
- **SHA-384**: Truncated SHA-512, good compromise between SHA-256 and SHA-512
|
||||
- **SHA-224**: Truncated SHA-256, smaller output when space is constrained
|
||||
- **SHA-512/256**: Modern variant of SHA-512 with 256-bit output
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Using instance methods for incremental hashing
|
||||
const hasher = new Bun.SHA256();
|
||||
hasher.update("The quick brown fox ");
|
||||
hasher.update("jumps over the lazy dog");
|
||||
const hash = hasher.digest("hex");
|
||||
|
||||
// Using static method for one-shot hashing
|
||||
const quickHash = Bun.SHA256.hash("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", "hex");
|
||||
|
||||
// Both produce the same result
|
||||
console.log(hash === quickHash); // => true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Hashing Large Data
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// For large data, use the static method or write into a buffer
|
||||
const data = new Uint8Array(1024 * 1024); // 1MB of data
|
||||
crypto.getRandomValues(data);
|
||||
|
||||
// Method 1: Static method
|
||||
const hash1 = Bun.SHA256.hash(data, "hex");
|
||||
|
||||
// Method 2: Write into existing buffer (avoids allocation)
|
||||
const output = new Uint8Array(32);
|
||||
Bun.SHA256.hash(data, output);
|
||||
const hash2 = Array.from(output, byte => byte.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(hash1 === hash2); // => true
|
||||
```
|
||||

## `Bun.zstdCompressSync()`
|
||||
|
||||
Compresses a `Uint8Array`, `Buffer`, `ArrayBuffer`, or `string` using the [Zstandard](https://facebook.github.io/zstd/) compression algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const input = "hello world".repeat(100);

|
||||
console.log(compressed.length); // => 25 (significantly smaller!)
|
||||
```
|

Zstandard provides excellent compression ratios with fast decompression speeds, making it ideal for applications where data is compressed once but decompressed frequently.
|

// => { fast: 2776, balanced: 1064, small: 1049 }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `level` parameter must be between 1 and 22. Higher levels provide better compression at the cost of slower compression speed.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Invalid level throws an error
|
||||
Bun.zstdCompressSync("data", { level: 0 }); // Error: Compression level must be between 1 and 22
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.zstdDecompressSync()`
|
||||
|
||||
Decompresses data that was compressed with Zstandard.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const input = "hello world".repeat(100);
|
||||
const compressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(input, { level: 6 });
|
||||
const decompressed = Bun.zstdDecompressSync(compressed);
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(decompressed));
|
||||
// => "hello worldhello world..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The function automatically detects the format and decompresses accordingly:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Works with any input type that was compressed
|
||||
const stringCompressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync("text data");
|
||||
const bufferCompressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(Buffer.from("binary data"));
|
||||
const uint8Compressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(new TextEncoder().encode("encoded data"));
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(Bun.zstdDecompressSync(stringCompressed)));
|
||||
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(Bun.zstdDecompressSync(bufferCompressed)));
|
||||
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(Bun.zstdDecompressSync(uint8Compressed)));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.zstdCompress()`
|
||||
|
||||
Asynchronously compresses data using Zstandard. This is useful for large data that might block the event loop if compressed synchronously.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const largeData = "large dataset ".repeat(100000);
|
||||
|
||||
// Won't block the event loop
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(largeData, { level: 9 });
|
||||
console.log(`Compressed ${largeData.length} bytes to ${compressed.length} bytes`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The async version accepts the same compression levels and options as the sync version:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Different compression levels
|
||||
const level1 = await Bun.zstdCompress(data, { level: 1 }); // Fast
|
||||
const level12 = await Bun.zstdCompress(data, { level: 12 }); // Balanced
|
||||
const level22 = await Bun.zstdCompress(data, { level: 22 }); // Maximum compression
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.zstdDecompress()`
|
||||
|
||||
Asynchronously decompresses Zstandard-compressed data.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const data = "hello world ".repeat(10000);
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(data, { level: 6 });
|
||||
const decompressed = await Bun.zstdDecompress(compressed);
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(decompressed) === data); // => true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both async compression functions return `Promise<Buffer>`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Type annotations for clarity
|
||||
const compressed: Promise<Buffer> = Bun.zstdCompress("data");
|
||||
const decompressed: Promise<Buffer> = Bun.zstdDecompress(compressed);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Zstandard performance characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
Zstandard offers excellent performance compared to other compression algorithms:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Compression ratio**: Generally better than gzip, competitive with brotli
|
||||
- **Compression speed**: Faster than brotli, similar to gzip
|
||||
- **Decompression speed**: Much faster than gzip and brotli
|
||||
- **Memory usage**: Moderate, scales with compression level
|
||||

|
||||
## Working with files
|
||||
|
||||
Compress and decompress files efficiently:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Compress a file
|
||||
const file = Bun.file("large-document.txt");
|
||||
const content = await file.bytes();
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(content, { level: 9 });
|
||||
await Bun.write("large-document.txt.zst", compressed);
|
||||
|
||||
// Decompress a file
|
||||
const compressedFile = Bun.file("large-document.txt.zst");
|
||||
const compressedData = await compressedFile.bytes();
|
||||
const decompressed = await Bun.zstdDecompress(compressedData);
|
||||
await Bun.write("large-document-restored.txt", decompressed);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## HTTP compression with Zstandard
|
||||
|
||||
Modern browsers support Zstandard for HTTP compression. Check the `Accept-Encoding` header:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const server = Bun.serve({
|
||||
async fetch(req) {
|
||||
const acceptEncoding = req.headers.get("Accept-Encoding") || "";
|
||||
const responseData = "Large response content...".repeat(1000);
|
||||
|
||||
if (acceptEncoding.includes("zstd")) {
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(responseData, { level: 6 });
|
||||
return new Response(compressed, {
|
||||
headers: {
|
||||
"Content-Encoding": "zstd",
|
||||
"Content-Type": "text/plain",
|
||||
"Content-Length": compressed.length.toString(),
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Fallback to uncompressed
|
||||
return new Response(responseData, {
|
||||
headers: { "Content-Type": "text/plain" }
|
||||
});
|
||||
},
|
||||
port: 3000,
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error handling
|
||||
|
||||
All Zstandard functions will throw errors for invalid input:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// Invalid compression level
|
||||
Bun.zstdCompressSync("data", { level: 25 });
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error(error.message); // => "Compression level must be between 1 and 22"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// Invalid compressed data
|
||||
Bun.zstdDecompressSync("not compressed");
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Decompression failed"); // => Throws decompression error
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Async error handling
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await Bun.zstdDecompress("invalid compressed data");
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Async decompression failed:", error.message);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.inspect()`
|
||||
|
||||
Serializes an object to a `string` exactly as it would be printed by `console.log`.
|
||||
@@ -631,6 +882,331 @@ const foo = new Foo();
|
||||
console.log(foo); // => "foo"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.indexOfLine()`
|
||||
|
||||
`Bun.indexOfLine(buffer: Uint8Array | string, index: number): number`
|
||||
|
||||
Finds the line boundary (start of line) for a given byte or character index within a text buffer. This is useful for converting byte offsets to line/column positions for error reporting, syntax highlighting, or text editor features.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const text = "Hello\nWorld\nFrom\nBun";
|
||||
|
||||
// Find which line contains character at index 8
|
||||
const lineStart = Bun.indexOfLine(text, 8);
|
||||
console.log(lineStart); // => 6 (start of "World" line)
|
||||
|
||||
// The character at index 8 is 'r' in "World"
|
||||
console.log(text[8]); // => 'r'
|
||||
console.log(text.slice(lineStart, text.indexOf('\n', lineStart)));
|
||||
// => "World"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This works with both strings and byte buffers:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const buffer = new TextEncoder().encode("Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
|
||||
const lineStart = Bun.indexOfLine(buffer, 10); // index 10 is in "Line 2"
|
||||
console.log(lineStart); // => 7 (start of "Line 2")
|
||||
|
||||
// Convert back to string to verify
|
||||
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
|
||||
const lineEnd = buffer.indexOf(0x0a, lineStart); // 0x0a is '\n'
|
||||
const line = decoder.decode(buffer.slice(lineStart, lineEnd === -1 ? undefined : lineEnd));
|
||||
console.log(line); // => "Line 2"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Useful for building development tools like linters, formatters, or language servers:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
function getLineAndColumn(text: string, index: number) {
|
||||
const lineStart = Bun.indexOfLine(text, index);
|
||||
const lineNumber = text.slice(0, lineStart).split('\n').length;
|
||||
const column = index - lineStart + 1;
|
||||
return { line: lineNumber, column };
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const position = getLineAndColumn("Hello\nWorld\nFrom\nBun", 8);
|
||||
console.log(position); // => { line: 2, column: 3 }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.shellEscape()`
|
||||
|
||||
`Bun.shellEscape(input: string): string`
|
||||
|
||||
Escapes a string for safe use in shell commands by adding appropriate quoting and escaping special characters. This prevents shell injection vulnerabilities when constructing commands dynamically.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const userInput = "file with spaces & special chars.txt";
|
||||
const escaped = Bun.shellEscape(userInput);
|
||||
console.log(escaped); // => 'file with spaces & special chars.txt'
|
||||
|
||||
// Safe to use in shell commands
|
||||
const command = `ls ${escaped}`;
|
||||
console.log(command); // => ls 'file with spaces & special chars.txt'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It handles various special characters that have meaning in shells:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Characters that need escaping
|
||||
Bun.shellEscape("hello; rm -rf /"); // => 'hello; rm -rf /'
|
||||
Bun.shellEscape("$HOME/file"); // => '$HOME/file'
|
||||
Bun.shellEscape("`whoami`"); // => '`whoami`'
|
||||
Bun.shellEscape("a\"quote\""); // => 'a"quote"'
|
||||
|
||||
// Already safe strings pass through unchanged
|
||||
Bun.shellEscape("simple-filename.txt"); // => simple-filename.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Essential for safely constructing shell commands with user input:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
function safeCopy(source: string, destination: string) {
|
||||
const safeSource = Bun.shellEscape(source);
|
||||
const safeDest = Bun.shellEscape(destination);
|
||||
|
||||
// Now safe to execute
|
||||
const proc = Bun.spawn({
|
||||
cmd: ["sh", "-c", `cp ${safeSource} ${safeDest}`],
|
||||
stderr: "pipe"
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return proc;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// This won't execute malicious commands
|
||||
safeCopy("normal.txt", "evil; rm -rf /");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.allocUnsafe()`
|
||||
|
||||
`Bun.allocUnsafe(size: number): Uint8Array`
|
||||
|
||||
Allocates a `Uint8Array` of the specified size without initializing the memory. This is faster than `new Uint8Array(size)` but the buffer contains arbitrary data from previously freed memory.
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ Warning**: The allocated memory is not zeroed and may contain sensitive data from previous allocations. Only use this when you'll immediately overwrite all bytes or when performance is critical and you understand the security implications.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Faster allocation (but contains arbitrary data)
|
||||
const buffer = Bun.allocUnsafe(1024);
|
||||
console.log(buffer[0]); // => some random value (could be anything)
|
||||
|
||||
// Compare with safe allocation
|
||||
const safeBuffer = new Uint8Array(1024);
|
||||
console.log(safeBuffer[0]); // => 0 (always zeroed)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Best used when you'll immediately fill the entire buffer:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
function readFileToBuffer(path: string): Uint8Array {
|
||||
const file = Bun.file(path);
|
||||
const size = file.size;
|
||||
|
||||
// Safe to use allocUnsafe since we'll overwrite everything
|
||||
const buffer = Bun.allocUnsafe(size);
|
||||
|
||||
// Fill the entire buffer with file data
|
||||
const bytes = file.bytes();
|
||||
buffer.set(bytes);
|
||||
|
||||
return buffer;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Performance comparison:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Benchmarking allocation methods
|
||||
const size = 1024 * 1024; // 1MB
|
||||
|
||||
const start1 = Bun.nanoseconds();
|
||||
const safe = new Uint8Array(size);
|
||||
const safeTime = Bun.nanoseconds() - start1;
|
||||
|
||||
const start2 = Bun.nanoseconds();
|
||||
const unsafe = Bun.allocUnsafe(size);
|
||||
const unsafeTime = Bun.nanoseconds() - start2;
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(`Safe allocation: ${safeTime} ns`);
|
||||
console.log(`Unsafe allocation: ${unsafeTime} ns`);
|
||||
// Unsafe is typically 2-10x faster for large allocations
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.shrink()`
|
||||
|
||||
`Bun.shrink(object: object): object`
|
||||
|
||||
Optimizes the memory layout of an object by shrinking its internal representation. This is most effective after adding and removing many properties, which can leave gaps in the object's property storage.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const obj = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4, e: 5 };
|
||||
|
||||
// Add and remove many properties (creates fragmentation)
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
|
||||
obj[`temp${i}`] = i;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
|
||||
delete obj[`temp${i}`];
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Object now has fragmented memory layout
|
||||
console.log(Object.keys(obj)); // => ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
|
||||
|
||||
// Optimize memory layout
|
||||
Bun.shrink(obj);
|
||||
// Returns the same object, but with optimized internal structure
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Useful for long-lived objects that undergo many property changes:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
class Cache {
|
||||
private data = {};
|
||||
|
||||
set(key: string, value: any) {
|
||||
this.data[key] = value;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
delete(key: string) {
|
||||
delete this.data[key];
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Optimize after batch operations
|
||||
optimize() {
|
||||
return Bun.shrink(this.data);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const cache = new Cache();
|
||||
// ... many set/delete operations
|
||||
cache.optimize(); // Reclaim fragmented memory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The function returns the same object (doesn't create a copy):
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const original = { foo: "bar" };
|
||||
const shrunk = Bun.shrink(original);
|
||||
console.log(original === shrunk); // => true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: This is a performance optimization hint. The JavaScript engine may ignore it if the object is already optimally laid out or if shrinking wouldn't provide benefits.
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.gc()`
|
||||
|
||||
`Bun.gc(force?: boolean): void`
|
||||
|
||||
Manually trigger JavaScript garbage collection. Useful for testing memory behavior or forcing cleanup at specific times.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Request garbage collection
|
||||
Bun.gc();
|
||||
|
||||
// Force synchronous garbage collection (blocking)
|
||||
Bun.gc(true);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `force` (`boolean`, optional): If `true`, runs garbage collection synchronously (blocking). Default is asynchronous.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Manual garbage collection is generally not recommended in production applications. The JavaScript engine's automatic GC is typically more efficient.
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.generateHeapSnapshot()`
|
||||
|
||||
Generate detailed memory usage snapshots for debugging and profiling.
|
||||
|
||||
### JSC Format (Safari/Bun Inspector)
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const snapshot = Bun.generateHeapSnapshot(); // defaults to "jsc"
|
||||
const snapshot = Bun.generateHeapSnapshot("jsc");
|
||||
|
||||
// Use with `bun --inspect` or Safari Web Inspector
|
||||
console.log(snapshot); // HeapSnapshot object
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### V8 Format (Chrome DevTools)
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const snapshot = Bun.generateHeapSnapshot("v8");
|
||||
|
||||
// Save to file for Chrome DevTools
|
||||
await Bun.write("heap.heapsnapshot", snapshot);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Formats:**
|
||||
- `"jsc"` (default): Returns a `HeapSnapshot` object compatible with Safari Web Inspector and `bun --inspect`
|
||||
- `"v8"`: Returns a JSON string compatible with Chrome DevTools
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in development:**
|
||||
1. Generate snapshot: `const snap = Bun.generateHeapSnapshot("v8")`
|
||||
2. Save to file: `await Bun.write("memory.heapsnapshot", snap)`
|
||||
3. Open in Chrome DevTools > Memory tab > Load snapshot
|
||||
4. Analyze memory usage, object references, and potential leaks
|
||||
|
||||
## `Bun.mmap()`
|
||||
|
||||
`Bun.mmap(path: string): Uint8Array`
|
||||
|
||||
Memory-maps a file, creating a `Uint8Array` that directly accesses the file's contents in memory without copying. This provides very fast access to large files and allows the operating system to manage memory efficiently.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Map a large file into memory
|
||||
const mapped = Bun.mmap("/path/to/large-file.bin");
|
||||
|
||||
// Access file contents directly
|
||||
console.log(mapped.length); // File size in bytes
|
||||
console.log(mapped[0]); // First byte
|
||||
console.log(mapped.slice(0, 100)); // First 100 bytes
|
||||
|
||||
// No explicit cleanup needed - GC will handle unmapping
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Particularly efficient for large files:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Reading a 1GB file with mmap vs traditional methods
|
||||
const largeMapped = Bun.mmap("/path/to/1gb-file.bin");
|
||||
// ↑ Very fast, no copying
|
||||
|
||||
const largeLoaded = await Bun.file("/path/to/1gb-file.bin").arrayBuffer();
|
||||
// ↑ Slower, copies entire file into memory
|
||||
|
||||
// Both provide same data, but mmap is faster and uses less memory
|
||||
console.log(largeMapped[1000] === new Uint8Array(largeLoaded)[1000]); // => true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Great for processing large data files:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
function processLogFile(path: string) {
|
||||
const data = Bun.mmap(path);
|
||||
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
|
||||
|
||||
let lineStart = 0;
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
|
||||
if (data[i] === 0x0a) { // newline

## `Bun.nanoseconds()`
|

|
||||
Returns the number of nanoseconds since the current `bun` process started, as a `number`. Useful for high-precision timing and benchmarking.
|
||||
`Bun.nanoseconds(): number`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the number of nanoseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC), as a `number`. This provides the highest precision timing available and is useful for high-precision benchmarking and performance measurement.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
Bun.nanoseconds();
|
||||
// => 7288958

// ... some operation

## `Bun.unsafe` ⚠️
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ DANGER ZONE**: The `Bun.unsafe` namespace contains extremely dangerous low-level operations that can crash your application, corrupt memory, or leak sensitive data. Only use these APIs if you know exactly what you're doing and understand the risks.
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.unsafe.arrayBufferToString()`
|
||||
|
||||
Cast bytes to a `string` without copying. This is the fastest way to get a `String` from a `Uint8Array` or `ArrayBuffer`.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const bytes = new Uint8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]); // "hello"
|
||||
const str = Bun.unsafe.arrayBufferToString(bytes);
|
||||
console.log(str); // => "hello"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ Critical warnings:**
|
||||
- **Only use this for ASCII strings**. Non-ASCII characters may crash your application or cause confusing bugs like `"foo" !== "foo"`
|
||||
- **The input buffer must not be garbage collected**. Hold a reference to the buffer for the string's entire lifetime
|
||||
- **Memory corruption risk**: Incorrect usage can lead to security vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.unsafe.gcAggressionLevel()`
|
||||
|
||||
Force the garbage collector to run extremely often, especially useful for debugging memory issues in tests.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Get current level
|
||||
const currentLevel = Bun.unsafe.gcAggressionLevel();
|
||||
|
||||
// Set aggressive GC for debugging
|
||||
const previousLevel = Bun.unsafe.gcAggressionLevel(2);
|
||||
|
||||
// Later, restore original level
|
||||
Bun.unsafe.gcAggressionLevel(previousLevel);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Levels:**
|
||||
- `0`: Default, disabled
|
||||
- `1`: Asynchronously call GC more often
|
||||
- `2`: Synchronously call GC more often (most aggressive)
|
||||
|
||||
**Environment variable**: `BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL` is also supported.
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.unsafe.mimallocDump()`
|
||||
|
||||
Dump the mimalloc heap to the console for debugging memory usage. Only available on macOS.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Dump heap statistics to console
|
||||
Bun.unsafe.mimallocDump();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.unsafe.segfault()` ☠️
|
||||
|
||||
**☠️ EXTREMELY DANGEROUS**: Immediately crashes the process with a segmentation fault. Only used for testing crash handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// This will immediately crash your program
|
||||
Bun.unsafe.segfault(); // Process terminates with segfault
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
**Never use this in production code.**

||||
|
||||
## `Bun.CSRF`
|
||||
|
||||
A utility namespace for generating and verifying CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens. CSRF tokens help protect web applications against CSRF attacks by ensuring that state-changing requests originate from the same site that served the form.
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.CSRF.generate(secret?, options?)`
|
||||
|
||||
Generates a CSRF token using the specified secret and options.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { CSRF } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate with default secret
|
||||
const token = CSRF.generate();
|
||||
console.log(token); // => "base64url-encoded-token"
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate with custom secret
|
||||
const tokenWithSecret = CSRF.generate("my-secret-key");
|
||||
console.log(tokenWithSecret); // => "base64url-encoded-token"
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate with options
|
||||
const customToken = CSRF.generate("my-secret", {
|
||||
encoding: "hex",
|
||||
expiresIn: 60 * 60 * 1000, // 1 hour in milliseconds
|
||||
algorithm: "sha256"
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `secret` (`string`, optional): Secret key for token generation. If not provided, uses a default internal secret
|
||||
- `options` (`CSRFGenerateOptions`, optional): Configuration options
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
- `encoding` (`"base64url" | "base64" | "hex"`): Output encoding format (default: `"base64url"`)
|
||||
- `expiresIn` (`number`): Token expiration time in milliseconds (default: 24 hours)
|
||||
- `algorithm` (`CSRFAlgorithm`): Hash algorithm to use (default: `"sha256"`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Supported algorithms:**
|
||||
- `"blake2b256"` - BLAKE2b with 256-bit output
|
||||
- `"blake2b512"` - BLAKE2b with 512-bit output
|
||||
- `"sha256"` - SHA-256 (default)
|
||||
- `"sha384"` - SHA-384
|
||||
- `"sha512"` - SHA-512
|
||||
- `"sha512-256"` - SHA-512/256
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:** `string` - The generated CSRF token
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.CSRF.verify(token, options?)`
|
||||
|
||||
Verifies a CSRF token against the specified secret and constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { CSRF } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
const secret = "my-secret-key";
|
||||
const token = CSRF.generate(secret);
|
||||
|
||||
// Verify with same secret
|
||||
const isValid = CSRF.verify(token, { secret });
|
||||
console.log(isValid); // => true
|
||||
|
||||
// Verify with wrong secret
|
||||
const isInvalid = CSRF.verify(token, { secret: "wrong-secret" });
|
||||
console.log(isInvalid); // => false
|
||||
|
||||
// Verify with maxAge constraint
|
||||
const isExpired = CSRF.verify(token, {
|
||||
secret,
|
||||
maxAge: 1000 // 1 second
|
||||
});
|
||||
// If more than 1 second has passed, this will return false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `token` (`string`): The CSRF token to verify
|
||||
- `options` (`CSRFVerifyOptions`, optional): Verification options
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
- `secret` (`string`, optional): Secret key used for verification. If not provided, uses the default internal secret
|
||||
- `encoding` (`"base64url" | "base64" | "hex"`): Token encoding format (default: `"base64url"`)
|
||||
- `maxAge` (`number`, optional): Maximum age in milliseconds. If specified, tokens older than this will be rejected
|
||||
- `algorithm` (`CSRFAlgorithm`): Hash algorithm used (must match the one used for generation)
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:** `boolean` - `true` if the token is valid, `false` otherwise
|
||||
|
||||
### Security considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- **Secret management**: Use a cryptographically secure, randomly generated secret that's unique to your application
|
||||
- **Token lifetime**: Set appropriate expiration times - shorter is more secure but may affect user experience
|
||||
- **Transport security**: Always transmit CSRF tokens over HTTPS in production
|
||||
- **Storage**: Store tokens securely (e.g., in HTTP-only cookies or secure session storage)
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Express.js integration
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { CSRF } from "bun";
|
||||
import express from "express";
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
const secret = process.env.CSRF_SECRET || "your-secret-key";

||||
app.use((req, res, next) => {
|
||||
if (req.method === "GET") {
|
||||
res.locals.csrfToken = CSRF.generate(secret);
|
||||
}
|
||||
next();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Middleware to verify CSRF token
|
||||
app.use((req, res, next) => {
|
||||
if (["POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH"].includes(req.method)) {
|
||||
const token = req.body._csrf || req.headers["x-csrf-token"];
|
||||
|
||||
if (!token || !CSRF.verify(token, { secret })) {
|
||||
return res.status(403).json({ error: "Invalid CSRF token" });
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
next();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Route that requires CSRF protection
|
||||
app.post("/api/data", (req, res) => {
|
||||
// This route is now protected against CSRF attacks
|
||||
res.json({ message: "Data updated successfully" });
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: HTML form integration
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- In your HTML template -->
|
||||
<form method="POST" action="/submit">
|
||||
<input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="${csrfToken}">
|
||||
<input type="text" name="data" required>
|
||||
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error handling
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
import { CSRF } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// Generate token
|
||||
const token = CSRF.generate("my-secret");
|
||||
|
||||
// Verify token
|
||||
const isValid = CSRF.verify(token, { secret: "my-secret" });
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
if (error.message.includes("secret")) {
|
||||
console.error("Invalid secret provided");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
console.error("CSRF operation failed:", error.message);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Common error scenarios:
|
||||
- Empty or invalid token strings throw verification errors
|
||||
- Empty secret strings throw generation/verification errors
|
||||
- Invalid encoding options are handled gracefully
|
||||
- Malformed tokens return `false` rather than throwing

- **Read-only**: The `embeddedFiles` array and individual files cannot be modified at runtime
|
||||
- **Empty when not compiled**: Returns an empty array when running with `bun run` (not compiled)
|
||||
- **Hash suffixes**: Filenames include content hashes for cache busting (e.g., `style-a1b2c3.css`)
|
||||
- **MIME type detection**: File types are automatically detected from file extensions
|
||||
- **Memory efficient**: Files are lazily loaded - accessing content triggers reading from the embedded data
|
||||
- **Lexicographic ordering**: Files are sorted alphabetically by their embedded names
|
||||
|
||||
### Use cases
|
||||
|
||||
- **Static assets**: Serve CSS, images, fonts directly from the executable
|
||||
- **Configuration files**: Embed JSON/YAML config that's read at runtime
|
||||
- **Templates**: Include HTML/text templates in the binary
|
||||
- **Data files**: Ship with necessary data files without external dependencies
|
||||
- **Web assets**: Bundle frontend resources with backend services
|
||||
|
||||
The list of embedded files excludes bundled source code like `.ts` and `.js` files.

## Advanced Macro APIs
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.registerMacro(id, macro)`
|
||||
|
||||
Registers a macro function with a specific numeric ID for internal use by the bundler. This is a low-level API primarily used internally during the bundling process.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// This API is primarily used internally by the bundler
|
||||
// Most users should use import statements with { type: "macro" } instead
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `id` (`number`): A unique numeric identifier for the macro (must be positive, non-zero)
|
||||
- `macro` (`Function`): The macro function to register
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:** `undefined`
|
||||
|
||||
{% callout type="warning" %}
|
||||
**Note** — `Bun.registerMacro()` is an internal API used by Bun's bundler during code generation. User code should not call this function directly. Instead, use the standard `import { myMacro } from "./macro.ts" with { type: "macro" }` syntax to define and use macros.
|
||||
{% /callout %}
|
||||
|
||||
**Security considerations:**
|
||||
- Only callable functions are accepted as macro arguments
|
||||
- Invalid IDs (0, -1, or non-numeric values) will throw an error
|
||||
- This function requires exactly 2 arguments
|
||||
|
||||
The bundler automatically calls `registerMacro()` when it encounters macro imports during the bundling process, assigning unique IDs to each macro and registering them for execution.

name: Compress and decompress data with Zstandard (zstd)
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Bun provides fast, built-in support for [Zstandard compression](https://facebook.github.io/zstd/), a high-performance compression algorithm developed by Facebook. Zstandard offers an excellent balance of compression ratio, speed, and memory usage.
|
||||
|
||||
## Synchronous compression
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Bun.zstdCompressSync()` to synchronously compress data with Zstandard.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const data = "Hello, world! ".repeat(100);
|
||||
const compressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(data);
|
||||
// => Uint8Array
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(`Original: ${data.length} bytes`);
|
||||
console.log(`Compressed: ${compressed.length} bytes`);
|
||||
console.log(`Compression ratio: ${(data.length / compressed.length).toFixed(2)}x`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The function accepts strings, `Uint8Array`, `ArrayBuffer`, `Buffer`, and other binary data types:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// String
|
||||
const textCompressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync("Hello, world!");
|
||||
|
||||
// Buffer
|
||||
const bufferCompressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(Buffer.from("Hello, world!"));
|
||||
|
||||
// Uint8Array
|
||||
const uint8Compressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(new TextEncoder().encode("Hello, world!"));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Synchronous decompression
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Bun.zstdDecompressSync()` to decompress Zstandard-compressed data:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const compressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync("Hello, world!");
|
||||
const decompressed = Bun.zstdDecompressSync(compressed);
|
||||
|
||||
// Convert back to string
|
||||
const text = new TextDecoder().decode(decompressed);
|
||||
console.log(text); // => "Hello, world!"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Asynchronous compression
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Bun.zstdCompress()` for asynchronous compression. This is useful for large data that might block the event loop:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const data = "Hello, world! ".repeat(10000);
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(data);
|
||||
// => Promise<Buffer>
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(`Compressed ${data.length} bytes to ${compressed.length} bytes`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Asynchronous decompression
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Bun.zstdDecompress()` for asynchronous decompression:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress("Hello, world!");
|
||||
const decompressed = await Bun.zstdDecompress(compressed);
|
||||
|
||||
const text = new TextDecoder().decode(decompressed);
|
||||
console.log(text); // => "Hello, world!"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Compression levels
|
||||
|
||||
Zstandard supports compression levels from 1 to 22, where:
|
||||
- **Level 1**: Fastest compression, larger file size
|
||||
- **Level 3**: Default level (good balance of speed and compression)
|
||||
- **Level 19**: Very high compression, slower
|
||||
- **Level 22**: Maximum compression, slowest
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const data = "Hello, world! ".repeat(1000);
|
||||
|
||||
// Fast compression (level 1)
|
||||
const fast = Bun.zstdCompressSync(data, { level: 1 });
|
||||
|
||||
// Balanced compression (level 3, default)
|
||||
const balanced = Bun.zstdCompressSync(data, { level: 3 });
|
||||
|
||||
// High compression (level 19)
|
||||
const small = Bun.zstdCompressSync(data, { level: 19 });
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(`Fast (level 1): ${fast.length} bytes`);
|
||||
console.log(`Balanced (level 3): ${balanced.length} bytes`);
|
||||
console.log(`High (level 19): ${small.length} bytes`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The same level options work for async compression:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(data, { level: 19 });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error handling
|
||||
|
||||
Both sync and async functions will throw errors for invalid input:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// Invalid compression level
|
||||
Bun.zstdCompressSync("data", { level: 0 }); // Error: level must be 1-22
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error(error.message); // => "Compression level must be between 1 and 22"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// Invalid compressed data
|
||||
Bun.zstdDecompressSync("not compressed data");
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Decompression failed:", error.message);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For async functions, handle errors with try/catch or `.catch()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await Bun.zstdDecompress("invalid data");
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Async decompression failed:", error.message);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Working with files
|
||||
|
||||
Compress and decompress files efficiently:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Compress a file
|
||||
const file = Bun.file("large-file.txt");
|
||||
const data = await file.bytes();
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(data, { level: 6 });
|
||||
await Bun.write("large-file.txt.zst", compressed);
|
||||
|
||||
// Decompress a file
|
||||
const compressedFile = Bun.file("large-file.txt.zst");
|
||||
const compressedData = await compressedFile.bytes();
|
||||
const decompressed = await Bun.zstdDecompress(compressedData);
|
||||
await Bun.write("large-file-restored.txt", decompressed);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
Zstandard offers excellent performance compared to other compression algorithms:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Speed**: Faster decompression than gzip, competitive compression speed
|
||||
- **Compression ratio**: Better than gzip, similar to or better than brotli
|
||||
- **Memory usage**: Moderate memory requirements
|
||||
- **Real-time friendly**: Suitable for real-time applications due to fast decompression
|
||||
|
||||
Example performance comparison for a 1MB text file:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const data = "Sample data ".repeat(100000); // ~1MB
|
||||
|
||||
console.time("zstd compress");
|
||||
const zstdCompressed = Bun.zstdCompressSync(data, { level: 3 });
|
||||
console.timeEnd("zstd compress");
|
||||
|
||||
console.time("gzip compress");
|
||||
const gzipCompressed = Bun.gzipSync(data);
|
||||
console.timeEnd("gzip compress");
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(`Zstandard: ${zstdCompressed.length} bytes`);
|
||||
console.log(`Gzip: ${gzipCompressed.length} bytes`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## HTTP compression
|
||||
|
||||
Zstandard is supported in modern browsers and can be used for HTTP compression. When building web servers, check the `Accept-Encoding` header:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const server = Bun.serve({
|
||||
async fetch(req) {
|
||||
const acceptEncoding = req.headers.get("Accept-Encoding") || "";
|
||||
const content = "Large response content...";
|
||||
|
||||
if (acceptEncoding.includes("zstd")) {
|
||||
const compressed = await Bun.zstdCompress(content, { level: 6 });
|
||||
return new Response(compressed, {
|
||||
headers: {
|
||||
"Content-Encoding": "zstd",
|
||||
"Content-Type": "text/plain"
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return new Response(content);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## When to use Zstandard
|
||||
|
||||
Choose Zstandard when you need:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Better compression ratios** than gzip with similar or better speed
|
||||
- **Fast decompression** for frequently accessed compressed data
|
||||
- **Streaming support** (via Node.js compatible `zlib` streams)
|
||||
- **Modern web applications** where browser support allows
|
||||
|
||||
For maximum compatibility, consider falling back to gzip for older clients.

## Advanced APIs
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.createParsedShellScript(script, args)`
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a pre-parsed shell script object that can be used with `Bun.createShellInterpreter()` for more advanced shell execution control.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import { createParsedShellScript } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
// Parse a shell script
|
||||
const parsed = createParsedShellScript("echo hello", ["world"]);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `script` (`string`): The shell script string to parse
|
||||
- `args` (`string[]`): Array of arguments to interpolate into the script
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:** `ParsedShellScript` - A parsed shell script object
|
||||
|
||||
This API is primarily used internally by the `$` template literal, but can be useful for cases where you want to pre-parse shell commands or build custom shell execution workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
### `Bun.createShellInterpreter(options)`
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a shell interpreter instance for executing parsed shell scripts with custom resolve/reject handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import { createParsedShellScript, createShellInterpreter } from "bun";
|
||||
|
||||
const parsed = createParsedShellScript("echo hello", ["world"]);
|
||||
|
||||
const interpreter = createShellInterpreter(
|
||||
(exitCode, stdout, stderr) => {
|
||||
// Handle successful completion
|
||||
console.log(`Exit code: ${exitCode}`);
|
||||
console.log(`Stdout: ${stdout.toString()}`);
|
||||
},
|
||||
(exitCode, stdout, stderr) => {
|
||||
// Handle errors
|
||||
console.error(`Command failed with code: ${exitCode}`);
|
||||
console.error(`Stderr: ${stderr.toString()}`);
|
||||
},
|
||||
parsed
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `resolve` (`(exitCode: number, stdout: Buffer, stderr: Buffer) => void`): Callback for successful execution
|
||||
- `reject` (`(exitCode: number, stdout: Buffer, stderr: Buffer) => void`): Callback for failed execution
|
||||
- `parsedScript` (`ParsedShellScript`): The parsed shell script to execute
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:** `ShellInterpreter` - A shell interpreter instance
|
||||
|
||||
This low-level API gives you direct control over shell execution and is primarily used internally by Bun Shell. Most users should use the `$` template literal instead, which provides a higher-level interface.
