Quick Start ​

Elysia is a library built for Bun.

So the only prerequisite is that you need to have Bun installed.

curl https://bun.sh/install | bash

curl https://bun.sh/install | bash

Start by using bun create to scaffold the project:

bun create elysia hi-elysia

bun create elysia hi-elysia

Then you should see the folder name hi-elysia in your directory.

cd hi-elysia

cd hi-elysia

Open src/index.ts, and you should see:

import { Elysia } from 'elysia'

const app = new Elysia()
	.get('/', () => 'Hello Elysia')
	.listen(8080)
	 
console.log(`🦊 Elysia is running at ${app.server.hostname}:${app.server.port}`)

import { Elysia } from 'elysia'

const app = new Elysia()
	.get('/', () => 'Hello Elysia')
	.listen(8080)
	 
console.log(`🦊 Elysia is running at ${app.server.hostname}:${app.server.port}`)

Start a development server by:

bun run dev

bun run dev

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080.

You should see your server is running.

Congrats! You just create a new web server with Elysia 🎉🎉
