Detect when code is executed with Bun

The recommended way to detect when code is being executed with Bun is to check process.versions.bun. This works in both JavaScript and TypeScript without requiring any additional type definitions.

if (process.versions.bun) {
  // this code will only run when the file is run with Bun
}

Alternatively, you can check for the existence of the Bun global. This is similar to how you'd check for the existence of the window variable to detect when code is being executed in a browser.

if (typeof Bun !== "undefined") {
  // this code will only run when the file is run with Bun
}
