bun-typescript-starter

Modern TypeScript starter template with enterprise-grade tooling.

Features

• Bun - Fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime and toolkit
• TypeScript 5.9+ - Strict mode, ESM only
• Biome - Lightning-fast linting and formatting (replaces ESLint + Prettier)
• Vitest - Fast unit testing with native Bun support
• Changesets - Automated versioning and changelog generation
• GitHub Actions - Comprehensive CI/CD with OIDC npm publishing
• Conventional Commits - Enforced via commitlint + Husky

Quick Start

Option A: Use this template (Recommended)

1. Click "Use this template" → "Create a new repository"
2. Clone your new repo
3. Run setup:

bun run setup

The setup script will:

• Prompt for project details (name, description, author)
• Configure package.json and changeset config
• Install dependencies
• Create initial commit

Option B: degit

npx degit nathanvale/bun-typescript-starter my-project
cd my-project
bun run setup

Scripts

# Development
bun dev              # Watch mode
bun run build        # Build for production
bun run clean        # Remove dist/

# Quality
bun run check        # Biome lint + format (write)
bun run lint         # Lint only
bun run format       # Format only
bun run typecheck    # TypeScript type check
bun run validate     # Full quality check (lint + types + build + test)

# Testing
bun test             # Run tests
bun test --watch     # Watch mode
bun run coverage     # With coverage report

# Publishing
bun run version:gen  # Create changeset
bun run release      # Publish to npm (CI handles this)

NPM Publishing

This template uses OIDC trusted publishing for secure, token-free npm releases.

First Publish (Bootstrap)

1. Add NPM_TOKEN secret to your GitHub repository:

   • Go to repo Settings → Secrets → Actions
   • Create NPM_TOKEN with your npm access token

2. Create a changeset and push to main:

   bun run version:gen
   git add . && git commit -m "chore: add changeset"
   git push

3. The publish workflow will use NPM_TOKEN for the first publish

Subsequent Publishes (OIDC)

After the first publish, configure trusted publishing for token-free releases:

1. Go to npmjs.com → Your Package → Settings

2. Under "Trusted Publisher", configure:

   • Owner: Your GitHub username/org
   • Repository: Your repo name
   • Environment: (leave blank)
   • Workflow: publish.yml

3. Remove NPM_TOKEN secret (optional but recommended)

Now pushes to main will publish automatically via OIDC - no tokens needed!
