Bun Integration

LogLayer has support for the Bun runtime.

Bun Compatibility

Not all transports and plugins are compatible with Bun. Some items that rely on Node.js-specific APIs (like file system operations or native modules) may not work in Bun. Items that have been tested with Bun are marked with a Bun badge.

Not all items have been tested with Bun; a lack of a badge does not imply a lack of support. Please let us know if you do find a transport / plugin is supported.

Installation

Using npm packages

Bun has excellent npm compatibility, so you can install LogLayer packages using bun:

bun add loglayer
bun add @loglayer/transport-simple-pretty-terminal

Import statements

import { LogLayer, ConsoleTransport } from "loglayer";
import { getSimplePrettyTerminal } from "@loglayer/transport-simple-pretty-terminal";

Basic Setup with Console Transport

The Console Transport is built into LogLayer and works perfectly in Bun:

import { LogLayer, ConsoleTransport } from "loglayer";

const log = new LogLayer({
  transport: new ConsoleTransport({
    logger: console
  })
});

log.info("Hello from Bun with LogLayer!");

Enhanced Setup with Simple Pretty Terminal

For more visually appealing output, use the Simple Pretty Terminal Transport:

import { LogLayer } from "loglayer";
import { getSimplePrettyTerminal } from "@loglayer/transport-simple-pretty-terminal";

const log = new LogLayer({
  transport: getSimplePrettyTerminal({
    runtime: "bun",
    viewMode: "inline"
  })
});

// Pretty formatted logging
log.info("This is a pretty formatted log message");
log.withMetadata({ 
  userId: 12345, 
  action: "login",
  timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
}).info("User performed action");
