bun-updater

A simple and interactive way to update bun dependencies

Goal

The goal of this package is to provide an interactive way to update dependencies (mono or single repo) using bun.

Both pnpm and yarn already have this command (pnpm up -i or yarn update-interactive) but unfortunately, bun doesn't (yet). So, this CLI aims to temporarily solve this problem until it becomes native in Bun CLI.

See https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/4895.

Usage

In my tests, it works better if you install it as a global dependency over bunx. I've encountered some terminal UI bugs with bunx.

So,

bun add --global bun-updater

Once it finishes, in the repository you want to update the dependencies:

bun-updater

This will trigger the CLI, and you just need to follow the prompts.

FAQ

This is probably because you don't have bun bin folder listed in your PATH.

To check if you do, run:

bun pm -g bin

If it gives a warn saying not in $PATH, you have to add it into your terminal config file (.zshrc, .bash_profile, .bashrc,etc.):

# rest of your config
export BUN_INSTALL=$(bun pm -g bin)
export PATH="$BUN_INSTALL:$PATH"

Contributing

Install the dependencies:

bun install

Then you can run

bun run dev

This will trigger the CLI to scan the current repository.

To test in the "examples" folder, you can navigate inside either the monorepo or the singlerepo folders:

cd examples/monorepo

Then, you can invoke the CLI script from the monorepo folder:

bun ../../src/cli.ts

This will ensure that process.cwd() is in the correct place.
