Add a dependency with Bun

To add an npm package as a dependency, use bun add.

This will add the package to dependencies in package.json. By default, the ^ range specifier will be used, to indicate that any future minor or patch versions are acceptable.

To "pin" to the latest version of the package, use --exact. This will add the package to dependencies without the ^, pinning your project to the exact version you installed.

To specify an exact version or a tag:

See Docs > Package manager for complete documentation of Bun's package manager.
