Elysia + Buchta App

Getting started

This is a basic Elysia server with frontend support Run the following to get started.

bun create elysia-buchta ./elysia-app
cd ./elysia-app

Starting the development server

To start development server run.

bun run index.ts

Open http://localhost:3000/ with your browser to see the result.

Understanding file structure

Buchta is Bun-First integrable build step for frontend. Which means it can be used in a framework like Elysia, because it has offical integration.

index.ts - source code of your server with basic API
buchta.config.ts - basic configuration for Buchta to function
public/ - directory containing your frontend code
.buchta - directory that contains files with which Buchta works with

Configuration

Very basic config for Buchta

import { BuchtaConfig } from "buchta";

export default {
    port: 3000, // port on which the application + the backend will be served
    rootDir: import.meta.dir, // root directory of your project, meaning you can start the app from where ever you are

    ssr: true, // if you want your web app to be server-side rendered
    plugins: [] // array that contains plugins for buchta to extend support for frameworks and file formats
} as BuchtaConfig;

Built-in plugins

Buchta has plugins to support React, Svelte, Vue & CSS Some plugins have their own configuration, React for example

How to use a built-in plugin?

If you want to use Vue. All you have to do is import it and put it in plugins array Just like this:

// Notice: Buchta supports on Vue 3
import { vue } from "buchta/plugins/vue";
// ...
    plugins: [/* ... */, vue()]
// ...

Same principle works for svelte, react and css
