Bun Compatibility

This starter template is fully compatible with Bun, a fast JavaScript runtime and package manager. When using Bun:

• Installation is faster due to Bun's optimized package resolution
• Development server starts up quicker
• Build times are reduced

To use Bun with this template, select "bun" as your package manager during setup. If Bun is not installed, the CLI will attempt to install it for you.

Bun-specific Commands

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Start development server
bun run dev

# Build for production
bun run build

# Preview production build
bun run preview
