Bun SvelteKit

Run SvelteKit applications with Bun for faster development and builds.

Quick Start

# Create new SvelteKit project
bunx sv create my-app
cd my-app

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Development
bun run dev

# Build
bun run build

# Preview
bun run preview

Secure Installation

Scaffolding tools like bunx sv create download and execute remote code. Before running, follow supply chain security best practices:

• Block post-install scripts — Bun disables them by default; allow specific packages via trustedDependencies in package.json
• Cooldown period — Configure minimumReleaseAge in bunfig.toml to wait 7 days for new versions
• Audit before installing — Run socket package score npm <pkg> or use socket npm install <pkg> to check packages

Load the dependency-upgrade skill for full security configuration including Socket CLI integration, cooldown setup, lockfile validation, and CI enforcement.

Project Setup

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite dev",
    "build": "vite build",
    "preview": "vite preview"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@sveltejs/adapter-auto": "^7.0.0",
    "@sveltejs/kit": "^2.0.0",
    "svelte": "^5.0.0",
    "vite": "^7.3.0"
  }
}

Use Bun Adapter

bun add -D svelte-adapter-bun

// svelte.config.js
import adapter from "svelte-adapter-bun";
import { vitePreprocess } from "@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte";

/** @type {import('@sveltejs/kit').Config} */
export default {
  preprocess: vitePreprocess(),
  kit: {
    adapter: adapter(),
  },
};

Using Bun APIs

Server Load Functions

// src/routes/users/+page.server.ts
import { Database } from "bun:sqlite";
import type { PageServerLoad } from "./$types";

export const load: PageServerLoad = async () => {
  const db = new Database("data.sqlite");
  const users = db.query("SELECT * FROM users").all();
  db.close();

  return { users };
};
