How to use "public" directory with Bun Build?

[phenomen]

Currently, I use Vite to build my library and looking forward to switching to Bun.

In Vite I have a src directory with code and assets needs to be bundled/minified and also public directory for static assets: css, images, fonts and some json files that should not be transformed in any way and copied into build as-is.

But after glancing at Bun docs, I cannot find any equivalent of publicDir config parameter. How can I handle static assets with Bun.Build?

Vite docs reference: https://vitejs.dev/config/shared-options.html#publicdir

I'm having the same problem. Have you found anything?

You can combine bun build with copying the public directory to the output directory. I've observed that bun also doesn't automatically clean up the output directory, so I'm running clean at the beginning. This is how it looks in the scripts in the package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "clean": "rm -rf dist",
    "dev": "bun run clean && bun build index.html --outdir dist --watch & nodemon --watch public --exec \"cp -r public/. dist/\"",
    "build": "bun run clean && bun build index.html --outdir dist --production && cp -r public/. dist/",
    "preview": "bun run dist/index.js"
  },

bun build no tiene un equivalente de public directory como vite, pero puedes copiarlo manualmente en el script de build. en package.json algo asi:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "bun build ./src/index.ts --outdir ./dist && cp -r ./public ./dist/public"
  }
}

o si quieres algo mas elaborado puedes usar el plugin system de bun para copiar archivos al final del build. pero la verdad para la mayoria de casos el cp en el script es lo mas simple y funciona igual de bien. si estas en windows cambia cp -r por xcopy o usa un script en js que copie la carpeta
