Add a peer dependency

To add an npm package as a peer dependency, use the --peer flag.

terminal

bun add @types/bun --peer

This adds the package to peerDependencies in package.json.

package.json

{
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@types/bun": "^1.3.3" 
  }
}

bun install installs peer dependencies by default, unless they are marked optional in peerDependenciesMeta.

package.json

{
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@types/bun": "^1.3.3"
  },
  "peerDependenciesMeta": {
    "@types/bun": { 
      "optional": true 
    } 
  }
}
