Fibonacci Sequence with Bun Runtime

Overview

This example project demonstrates how to build a simple Fibonacci API and a web page that fetches the Fibonacci sequence from this API. The project is built using the Bun runtime, a fast and efficient JavaScript/TypeScript runtime designed for high-performance applications.

Revolutionary Simplicity

One of the standout features of this project is its zero-dependency architecture. There are no external dependencies or initialization steps required to run the entire project. This is made possible by the Bun runtime, which provides native support for server-side operations, file handling, and more, right out of the box.

Features

• Fibonacci API built with TypeScript
• Web page that fetches and displays the Fibonacci sequence
• Server and client code optimized for performance and efficiency
• Utilizes Bun's native file handlers and server capabilities
• Zero external dependencies
• Integrated Bun tests via GitHub Actions workflow

Prerequisites

Bun runtime installed on your machine

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

Getting Started

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/skullzarmy/fibonacci-bun-example.git
cd fibonacci-bun-example

Run the Server

bun fib-server.ts

Or if you feel like typing more:

bun run fib-server.ts

This will start the server, and it should be listening for incoming HTTP requests.

Access the Web Page

Once the server is running, you can navigate to http://localhost:3000 (or whatever port you've configured) in your web browser to see the Fibonacci sequence being printed on the page.

Watch Mode (Optional)

If you want to run your server in watch mode, so that it restarts automatically whenever you make changes to your code, you can use the --watch flag:

bun --watch fib-server.ts
