So tried bun! the new JS runtime.

#javascript #bunjs #node #discuss

bun-scripts

Installation 

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

after this i opened my .bashrc and added the following line:

BUN_INSTALL="/root/.bun" PATH="$BUN_INSTALL/bin:$PATH" # as it wasn't added automatically, i added it manually
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

i restarted my terminal and it worked! 🎉

working with .env and bun 

# then i did a fancy stuff echo PORT=5000 >> .env touch http.js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
// http.js console.log(process.env.PORT) // USING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES WITHOUT DOTENV MODULES.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
bun run http.js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

bunrun

checkout the code @repo

sugggest me what should i try next with bun

PSA: Running everything (but especially shell scripts from the web) as root is dangerous. It's not a coincidence that on Linux, user accounts have limited permissions.

Cool! ^.^ I think your post should've been about the "it was great" part and why it was great, but all fine. :P
