name: Build an HTTP server using Express and Bun
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Express and other major Node.js HTTP libraries should work out of the box. Bun implements the [`node:http`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html) and [`node:https`](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html) modules that these libraries rely on.

Refer to the [Runtime > Node.js APIs](https://bun.com/docs/runtime/nodejs-apis#node-http) page for more detailed compatibility information.

|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ bun add express
|
|
```

To define a simple HTTP route and start a server with Express:
|
|
|
|
```ts#server.ts
|
|
import express from "express";
|
|
|
|
const app = express();
|
|
const port = 8080;
|
|
|
|
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
|
|
res.send("Hello World!");
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
app.listen(port, () => {
|
|
console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To start the server on `localhost`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ bun server.ts
|
|
```
