Server Pattern

Bun.serve({
  port: 3000,
  fetch(req) {
    return new Response("Hello!");
  },
  websocket: {
    open(ws) { /* ... */ },
    message(ws, message) { /* ... */ },
    close(ws) { /* ... */ },
  },
});

Testing Pattern

import { describe, it, expect } from "bun:test";

describe("feature", () => {
  it("should work", () => {
    expect(1 + 1).toBe(2);
  });
});
