Prerequisite

Before you start using Buntal JS, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

• Bun ^1.2.14 - Buntal JS is built on top of the Bun runtime and API, so you need to have it installed. You can download it from the Bun website.

Installation

• If you want to build an HTTP server, you only need to install the @buntal/core package:

  bun add @buntal/core

  Then, you can continue here.

• If you want to build a full-stack web application, you can create it from a template:

  bun create buntal@latest my-app

  Change my-app to your desired project name. It will initialize your project and install all the necessary dependencies. The output will look something like this:

  bun install v1.2.14 (6a363a38)
