[Feature request] Support for bun

[TeddyHuang-00]

Thank you for this awesome work!

I have been testing out bun lately and found issue that, whenever I ran bunx vp-update, the actual package manager used to update the dependencies is still pnpm, and it will create a new pnpm-lock.yaml and may reinstall some of the dependencies as pnpm would.

I am wondering if there's any possibility or plan to add support for bun. I know bun is in its early stage, so I will not be surprised if this will not be done in the near future. Thank you again for this anyway!

The first thing is, is everything working well on bun?

VuePress2 never managed to support it. If so, we can take a look at bun support in this package.

As far as I can tell, it works great with your theme hope and I have been experimenting bun for a while and it is sort of stable now so that I strongly suggest at least take a look at it.

VuePress2 never managed to support it. If so, we can take a look at bun support in this package.

I did notice bugs when building with bun in "bun" mode, but things should be just fine when doing so with bun in "node" mode. Though I don't know what specific change will be needed for adaptation to bun exactly, that might be due to the difference in internal APIs. That being said, I think for the most of developers they will stick to nodejs for a long time, so I don't think this will even cause a lot of issue as bun offers such compatibility with nodejs anyway. In a word, AFAIK, bun can be used for VuePress2 one way or another.

EDIT: Another thing is that regardless of bun's compatibility with VuePress2, it can act as a standalone package manager and you can still use npx to call the build process of VP2, so in that sense, adding support for bun within this vp-update will still make sense for those who prefer bun for its speed in package managing.

Fine, can you point of related docs?

I need:

• install command
• getting/setting registry (if present)
• update command upgrading all deps in the project.

And how can I detect a bun project in your mind?

[TeddyHuang-00]

• install command

https://bun.sh/docs/cli/install

• getting/setting registry (if present)

https://bun.sh/docs/install/registries

EDIT: I see what you mean by this, but there is still not a way to get the registries from cli yet, though the bun config subcommand is reserved.

• update command upgrading all deps in the project.

Unfortunately, there is not yet an official implementation of upgrading dependencies (though I suspect it will come in weeks). So if this is what vp-update relies on, then I guess we will have to wait until then.

P.S. For other none VP-based projects, I have been using npm-check-updates with bun to only upgrade the package.json and then run bun install to update the lock file. Is it possible to do something similar here?

https://bun.sh/docs/cli/update

I can tell from the current implementation that you update the package.json first, then this bun update command can handle this. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

And how can I detect a bun project in your mind?

I see that the current solution is to use the lock file of the project to judge the pm used, and bun also creates a unique lock file bun.lockb (from my limited knowledge this is like a binary version of yarn lock file)

If you are too busy for other important things, I can open a PR for this in the following weeks. Thank you anyway for your time on these projects.
