Overview
The playground runs a Bun project entirely in your browser:
- Bun’s own code, compiled to wasm64. The transpiler, bundler and semver come from Bun’s Rust crates that don’t depend on JavaScriptCore, built for 64-bit WebAssembly (Memory64).
- JS shims for the runtime.
Bun.*,bun:*andnode:*APIs are implemented in JavaScript on top of the browser’s engine. - A virtual file system. Your project lives in memory and is saved to the browser’s storage.
- A service worker serves your modules and the preview of
Bun.serveandnode:httpservers.
Because the runtime is a set of shims, not every Bun or Node API is there yet. Check Compatibility before porting a project, and the Features tour for what the playground can do.
