Build an app with Next.js and Bun

Create a new Next.js app

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

bun create next-app@latest my-bun-app

Start the dev server

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

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.

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.

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "bun --bun next dev",
    "build": "bun --bun next build",
    "start": "bun --bun next start"
  }
}
