Doesn't work with Bun

[ad-si]

mkdir bun-test
cd bun-test
touch index.ts

Insert this content into index.ts

import Database from "better-sqlite3"

const db = new Database(":memory:")
db.exec(`
  CREATE TABLE "users" (
    "name" TEXT
  )
`)
db.exec(`
  INSERT INTO "users" ("name")
  VALUES ('John')
`)
const result = db.prepare(`SELECT * FROM "users"`).get()

console.info(result)

bun install
bun run index.ts

Outputs this error:

dyld[27961]: missing symbol called

The native part of better-sqlite3 (C++) is compiled against the NodeJS and Electron Apis. So either Bun supports one of those APIs completely or it has to offer it's own API to compile / link against. Afaik there are still issues with loading native modules that are compiled for NodeJS while stating they should be usable.

If Bun is the target runtime, using its built-in Sqlite3 driver would be more useful I guess.

@neoxpert :100: -- if I had to guess, I don't suspect @JoshuaWise will be adding native code to support the bun runtime -- but if he'd like to, he's certainly free to reopen this!
