Anyone has some success getting bun:sqlite working with nextjs? Im unable to get it working with this error.Error: Cannot find module 'bun:sqlite' . Ive tried all..
add the types, add it to externals...still no luck 😦
Answered by @ts-ignore
nextjs uses some apis which aren't implemented in bun and hence bun invokes nodejs to run the project

if you want to, you may be able to use --bun to start it with, however i cant recall how nice the nextjs builder is

bun --bun next dev
bun --bun next build
bun --bun next start

Oh let me try this one

just note if you host on vercel, you cant use bun

also if you want to use node for stability but really want bun sqlite, you can make a "proxy" with fetch and Bun.serve :)

Yep will be on my own server...
currently i have the sqlite stuff accessed via bun api server instead

yeah nice

im guessing should be ok as i have them on just within docker via docker compose

btw most apis have been added now, just a few nextjs things are buggy now (ie edge runtime works but if you do some specific rare things it doesnt 500s)
