Add Bun pt. 2

[hjonasson]

👋

This discussion suggested adding Bun to the soon-to-be-removed create-remix CLI flow. This is a slightly more detailed proposal to support Bun.

I created this PR to run Remix on Bun. It was pointed out there that in its current state, it does actually spin up a node process alongside the bun processes. I investigated it and found that it is through node <mylocation>/node_modules/.bin/remix dev. After experimenting with different remix.config.js configurations I find that it seems necessary to create a dedicated remix-run/bun package, similar to the Deno one (maybe that was obvious all along 🤷 ?).

As per the contribution docs, I decided to start a discussion before spending more time on coding it. I would love to work on it and/or help out if this is accepted depending on my availability.

Thanks!

Hi, has there been any progress on this?

The script remix dev still can't work with Bun, but you can use Bun as the runtime of your app, just that the build will use Node.

Maybe with the Vite plugin it's possible to make it work.

@sjdonado How did you get it working? Do you have a repo I could take a look into?

@sjdonado Your project is not using the Bun runtime. You're only using Bun to manage your dependencies. Try using any Bun specific features in your remix app and you'll see it crash and you'll get an error saying "Bun" is not defined.
