Bun Server Best Practices

What it does

This skill provides guidance and best practices for utilizing the bun CLI's built-in server functionality. It helps users configure and optimize a local development server using Bun, focusing on aspects like serving static files, handling routing, and configuring middleware. The goal is to ensure efficient and secure operation of simple web applications or APIs.

When to use it

• You need to quickly serve static assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for testing or demonstration purposes.
• You want to create a basic API endpoint without needing a full-fledged framework.
• You're experimenting with Bun and want to understand its server capabilities beyond simple file serving.
• You are setting up a local development environment using Bun.

Key capabilities

• Serving static files
• Routing requests
• Middleware configuration

Example prompts

• "How do I serve the contents of my 'public' directory with bun?"
• "Can you show me how to create a simple API route in bun?"
• "What are some best practices for configuring middleware when using bun-server?"

Tips & gotchas

The bun CLI server is intended for development and testing. It’s not recommended for production deployments due to potential security or performance limitations. Ensure you understand Bun's routing and middleware capabilities before implementing complex logic.
