Build a React app with Bun
Bun has built-in support for .jsx and .tsx files. React works with Bun.
Create a new React app with bun init --react. This gives you a template with a React app and an API server together in one full-stack app.
# Create a new React app
bun init --react
# Run the app in development mode
bun dev
# Build as a static site for production
bun run build
# Run the server in production
bun startHot Reloading
Run bun dev to start the app in development mode. This starts the API server and the React app with hot reloading.
Full-Stack App
Run bun start to start the API server and frontend together in one process.
Static Site
Run bun run build to build the app as a static site. This creates a dist directory with the built app and its assets.
