Quick Start ​

Elysia is a library built for Bun.

Bun is all you need to get started.

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

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

Bootstrap a new project with bun create:

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(3000);

console.log(
  `🦊 Elysia is running at ${app.server?.hostname}:${app.server?.port}`
);

import { Elysia } from "elysia";

const app = new Elysia().get("/", () => "Hello Elysia").listen(3000);

console.log(
  `🦊 Elysia is running at ${app.server?.hostname}:${app.server?.port}`
);

Start a development server by:

bun dev

bun dev

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000.

You should see your server is running.

Congrats! You've just created a new web server with Elysia 🎉🎉
