Let's create a next.js app with bun

#bunjs #nextjs #react #javascript

Thank you for all the support you shown in react post, let's see how we can create a next.js app with bun

Install bun

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

bun -v
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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

curl https://bun.sh/install | bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create a next app

Now run the following command to create a next app

bun create next [your-app-name]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Build production bundle for next app

We have to update next.js version before we build our next app

bun a next@latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we update to the latest version of next for avoiding any kind of build issue

Adding scripts to your package.json

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

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "next start",
    "build": "next build"
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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

bun run build
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To run the production build you can fire following command

bun start
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
