Summary:

  • Bun's React Server Components (RSC) integration is undocumented and incomplete.

  • RSC functionality is accessible via a workaround (passing //app to Bun build), but is not officially supported.

  • The Bun team is prioritizing Node.js compatibility before focusing on improving RSC support.

  • The integration's complexity stems from the overlap between Bun's bundler and runtime.

  • A fully functional RSC implementation in Bun requires substantial further development.

React Server Components (RSC) in Bun: An Incomplete Picture

Bun creator, Jarred Sumner, recently revealed that while Bun's JavaScript runtime does have React Server Components (RSC) integration, it's currently undocumented and far from complete.

Sumner explained that experimented users can utilize RSCs by passing //app to the Bun build command, however, this is not officially supported. The team's current priority is focusing on Node.js compatibility, pushing RSC improvements down the roadmap.

The inherent overlap between Bun's bundler and runtime contributes to the complexity of fully implementing RSCs. This suggests that a full implementation requires significant development effort.
