Bun's bundler implements a `--compile` flag for generating a standalone binary from a TypeScript or JavaScript file.
|
|
|
|
{% codetabs %}
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ bun build ./cli.ts --compile --outfile mycli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```ts#cli.ts
|
|
console.log("Hello world!");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% /codetabs %}
|
|
|
|
This bundles `cli.ts` into an executable that can be executed directly:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./mycli
|
|
Hello world!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All imported files and packages are bundled into the executable, along with a copy of the Bun runtime. All built-in Bun and Node.js APIs are supported.
|
|
|
|
{% callout %}
|
|
|
|
**Note** — Currently, the `--compile` flag can only accept a single entrypoint at a time and does not support the following flags:
|
|
|
|
- `--outdir` — use `outfile` instead.
|
|
- `--external`
|
|
- `--splitting`
|
|
- `--public-path`
|
|
|
|
{% /callout %}
|
|

## Embedding files
|
|
|
|
Standalone executables support embedding files.
|
|
|
|
To embed files into an executable with `bun build --compile`, import the file in your code
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// this becomes an internal file path
|
|
import icon from "./icon.png";
|
|
|
|
import { file } from "bun";
|
|
|
|
export default {
|
|
fetch(req) {
|
|
return new Response(file(icon));
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may need to specify a `--loader` for it to be treated as a `"file"` loader (so you get back a file path).
|
|
|
|
Embedded files can be read using `Bun.file`'s functions or the Node.js `fs.readFile` function (in `"node:fs"`).
|
|
|
|
## Minification
|
|
|
|
To trim down the size of the executable a little, pass `--minify` to `bun build --compile`. This uses Bun's minifier to reduce the code size. Overall though, Bun's binary is still way too big and we need to make it smaller.
