Create a react app with bun

Want to use bun for your next react projects?

---

Install bun

First run the following command to check bun is installed or not

bun -v

If you don't have bun installed then run the following command to install bun

curl https://bun.sh/install | bash

Create a react app

Now run the following command to create a react app

bun create react [your-app-name]

It will create a new directory with the name of your app. To start the app run the following command

cd your-app-name
bun dev

Build production bundle for react app

By default bun does not ship with react-scripts so you need to install it first.

bun a react-scripts -d

Here we install it as a dev dependency.

Then run the following command to build the production bundle

bun react-scripts build

When you run the command above it will build the production bundle and it will be stored in the build directory.

Adding scripts to your package.json

We can add the following scripts to our package.json file

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "bun dev",
    "build": "react-scripts build"
  }
}

Now we can run the following command to start the app

bun start

And we can run the following command to build the production bundle

bun run build

Bonus:

By default bun creates react app with javascript but we can easily use typescript by changing the file extension from .jsx to .tsx

[Ashirbad Panigrahi]

Great article.

Does bun support other frameworks(I have svelte in mind) too?

Thanks again.

[Ashirbad Panigrahi]

It is supports nextjs, react but I'm not sure about svelte but I will definitely look into it.

[Pandademic]

Thanks!

[Khushi]

This is really cool thanks for this

[Ashirbad Panigrahi]

Happy to hear it

bun is on my „try next“ list. But i don’t understand why all package manager needs this „run“ word.
I want to execute scripts like:

bun dev
bun start
bun build
…

[Juliano Rafael]

the reason is to avoid clashes or confusion with the cli commands. if you had bun dev, just by looking at the command you don't know if it's a command from the cli itself or a script from the package.json. with run you know what's a script and what's a cli command.

[Ashirbad Panigrahi]

Indeed

[Ashirbad Panigrahi]

Yes I also want to see this, but for now you can use some certain commands in this way ex:

bun start

[Hamid Abdulmalik Al-Hassan]

This is really great, how about bun for Vite? Once again, thank you.

[msbala007]

Could I use npm packages?

[Ashirbad Panigrahi]

Yes you can ex:

bun add @ashirbad/js-core                     

[nuralam]

why this happened?

Since bun can directly execute .ts and .tsx files we can use the typescript template to setup a typescript project instead of js:
bun create react-app my-app --template typescript
