Build an app with Next.js and Bun

Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. It supports server-side rendering, static site generation, and API routes. Bun installs packages fast and can run Next.js development and production servers.


  1. Create a new Next.js app

    Use the interactive CLI to scaffold a new Next.js project and install its dependencies.

    terminal
    bun create next-app@latest my-bun-app
    
  2. Start the dev server

    Change to the project directory and run the dev server with Bun.

    terminal
    cd my-bun-app
    bun --bun run dev
    

    This starts the Next.js dev server with Bun's runtime.

    Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the result. Changes you make to app/page.tsx are hot-reloaded in the browser.

  3. Update scripts in package.json

    Prefix the Next.js CLI commands in your package.json scripts with bun --bun so that Bun executes the Next.js CLI for dev, build, and start.

    package.json
    {
      "scripts": {
        "dev": "bun --bun next dev", // [!code ++]
        "build": "bun --bun next build", // [!code ++]
        "start": "bun --bun next start" // [!code ++]
      }
    }
