Add support for bun install

[MarkLyck]

I've recently switched my projects from using npm, yarn or pnpm to bun

https://bun.sh/

bun is significantly faster at installing node_modules than the other package managers. But it is not yet supported by Vercel.

Please add support for bun install

[ghost]

Looking for the same here

[loicnestler]

CC'ing @oven-sh here, maybe they know on how to include the bun runtime in your Vercel bundle. 👀

[Jarred-Sumner]

@leerob let me know if there’s anything we can do to help

[styfle]

@Jarred-Sumner What is the plan for lock file versioning?

It looks like a version is stored in bun.lockb but its not clear if this will follow the version of bun?

For example, does bun-lockfile-format-v0 represent Bun 1.0? Will Bun 2.0 bump the lock file to bun-lockfile-format-v1?

[gtrabanco]

You can view the content by executing:

bun ./bun.lockb

[yus-ham]

do curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash before bun i, maybe

[alvarlagerlof]

Can you do that inside Vercel?

[alvarlagerlof]

I suspected this would not be allowed, and it is not.

[yus-ham]

@alvarlagerlof, for installs with curl, you have to run bun as ~/.bun/bin/bun.
BTW npm i -g bun can be used too and you can just run bun without prefix

[gabrielmaldi]

This is working for me:

vercel.json

{
  "$schema": "https://openapi.vercel.sh/vercel.json",
  "installCommand": "curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash && ~/.bun/bin/bun install --frozen-lockfile",
  "buildCommand": "~/.bun/bin/bun run build"
}

However, I think something has to be done for the build cache to work with bun. Even though I get this output:

Uploading build cache [177.05 MB]...
Build cache uploaded: 2.985s

On the next build I get:

Skipping build cache since Package Manager changed from "pnpm" to "yarn"

So even though it's generated, the build cache is not being used.

[RickRyan26]

Bun 1.0 just dropped!

@StephDietz any chance you're bringing a SvelteKit Vercel Bun adapter to life??

https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.0

https://bun.sh/guides/ecosystem/sveltekit

[silasabbott]

Bun support for SvelteKit on Vercel would probably be best added to @sveltejs/adapter-vercel once Vercel supports Bun as a runtime

[RatebSeirawan]

I only have good things to say about Bun so far!
I'm using it in development with nextjs but I'd love to have it running with my deployment on vercel

[RickRyan26]

A few hours ago leerob said it can't be done yet. Hmmm

[mquandalle]

Well he's hinting at upcoming support on Vervel https://twitter.com/leeerob/status/1701031958720254159

[boredland]

Not sure what @andres-carvajal proposes supports caching yet (relatively sure it doesn't), but it certainly could be a workaround until real support is there.

[boredland]

Hm, dependency cache seems to work just fine already? A bit confused why tho.

[miguderp]

Needless to say, I'm sure a ton of developers are looking forward to the implementation of Bun on Vercel, me included. I'd say that, for once, the hype is 100% healthy hype

[bujoralexandru]

Indeed, Bun has really shown great promise and, looking at the benchmarks (I know, benchmarks can be shallow) the team delivered.

[LZL0]

Let's go!

[leerob]

We definitely want to support Bun on Vercel. We'll update this discussion as we know more 😄

[troymcginnis]

👀

[ngdluan]

cool!

[mzbali]

waiting!

[itsmikesharescode]

any update??

[TooTallNate]

@itsmikesharescode It's been supported for a while https://github.com/orgs/vercel/discussions/2021#discussioncomment-6973207

[styfle]

If you are interested in using Bun as a package manager via Corepack, upvote the linked issue:

• Bun support nodejs/corepack#295

[Spikeysanju]

🔊 Update

Vercel now supports Bun installation with no setup needed. This change affects the build phase but doesn't affect the runtime. So, Serverless Functions won't use the Bun runtime for now.

[leerob]

Good news, Vercel now supports Bun install with zero configuration!

https://vercel.com/changelog/bun-install-is-now-supported-with-zero-configuration

[arvinxx]

@arvinxx There is! If you define a custom install command it should work. The Bun binary is currently located at /bun1/bun

Maybe the Bun binary should add to Path？ Or add usage in document.

[JosephTLyons]

Does it actually speed up dependency installations in vercel? Does the bun cache work over there? I couldn't tell the difference between using npm nstall and using bun install, in vercel, even on subsequent runs. Locally, I would see massive speedups on subsequent bun install runs, as the cache was being used, but I didn't see a diffence in the actual deployment of my site.

[arvinxx]

@JosephTLyons yes, our install is from 60s to 6s

[JosephTLyons]

Damn, that's a huge win! Ours is still painfully slow, for some reason.

[rubas]

I would be amazing, if bunx would also be available as we use it in postinstall.

/usr/bin/bash: bunx: command not found
--
error: script "postinstall" exited with code 127

[rubenmarcus]

tried to move a legacy next.js 12 from npm to bun, but lot of packages like firebase, also Dynamic Imports and third party library components didnt work without ts-ignore it complains it is not a valid JSX component...

no success on running bun ... also firebase package complained when running build in a client-side firebase service.

[gtrabanco]

Vercel only supports bun install.

Anyway if you have errors while running any npm package just report it on Bun repository. They are trying hard to have full or almost full support for all stuff that Node can run.

[KBeDevel]

Adding to @gtrabanco, you may also want to check the Node API compatibility state. Sadly, not all APIs are implemented yet and, as long as I know, Bun is based on JSC and Firebase features may not to be fully supported.

[cipriancaba]

We are just trying to migrate to bun but it doesn't work, we get the same bun command not found error even though we cleared the cache. It bun install command gets picked automatically.

[chhuang]

Did you update packageManager: [email protected] in the root package.json? Try removing the local bun.lockb, run bun i and redeploy.

[cipriancaba]

Thanks for the suggestion @chhuang Still same error even with the changes you suggested. Tried clearing the entire vercel cache and it didn't help

[oalexdoda]

For some reason bun install always uses version 1.0.6 instead of the latest one or the one specified in package.json (i.e. 1.0.14) on Vercel. Any insights on how to get around that?

[hey-ewan]

Experiencing the same, for now I'm just using Yarn. I love Bun but being relatively new seems pretty problematic.

[craigcosmo]

so, we gonna get bun run time, soon ?

[blaisewf]

Please, bun as a runtime soon 🙏🏻

[itsmikesharescode]

bun runtime!!!

[mxmzb]

Bun on Vercel is currently stuck @v1.1.17 for me. Can we upgrade please, because .npmrc support is available from 1.1.18 on.
