Scaffold an empty Bun project with the interactive `bun init` command.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ bun init
|
|
bun init helps you get started with a minimal project and tries to
|
|
guess sensible defaults. Press ^C anytime to quit.
|
|
|
|
package name (quickstart):
|
|
entry point (index.ts):
|
|
|
|
Done! A package.json file was saved in the current directory.
|
|
+ index.ts
|
|
+ .gitignore
|
|
+ tsconfig.json (for editor auto-complete)
|
|
+ README.md
|
|
|
|
To get started, run:
|
|
bun run index.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Press `enter` to accept the default answer for each prompt, or pass the `-y` flag to auto-accept the defaults.
|
|

{% details summary="How `bun init` works" %}
|
|
|
|
`bun init` is a quick way to start a blank project with Bun. It guesses with sane defaults and is non-destructive when run multiple times.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
It creates:
|
|
|
|
- a `package.json` file with a name that defaults to the current directory name
|
|
- a `tsconfig.json` file or a `jsconfig.json` file, depending if the entry point is a TypeScript file or not
|
|
- an entry point which defaults to `index.ts` unless any of `index.{tsx, jsx, js, mts, mjs}` exist or the `package.json` specifies a `module` or `main` field
|
|
- a `README.md` file
|
|
|
|
If you pass `-y` or `--yes`, it will assume you want to continue without asking questions.
|
|
|
|
At the end, it runs `bun install` to install `bun-types`.
