In bun compile how can I embed everything inside a directory

[kivS]

I want to embed a nextJS static export into an executable program, like Golang does with embed, eg //go:embed _ui/out/*

How can I accomplish this Bun? I know you can load a file and make it available internally :

// this becomes an internal file path
import icon from "./icon.png";

import { file } from "bun";

export default {
  fetch(req) {
    return new Response(file(icon));
  },
};

Is there a way to do the same for, say, dist/*?

For the moment I went with this workaround: https://github.com/seveibar/make-vfs/tree/main

They literally released an update last night that allows us to do it!

linux cachyos bash, tried to embed a dir:

test-project/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ bun build --compile ./src/index.ts ./embed/**/*.png
error: ModuleNotFound resolving "./embed/**/*.png" (entry point)

test-project/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ bun build --compile ./src/index.ts ./embed/**/*
error: ModuleNotFound resolving "./embed/**/*" (entry point)

test-project/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ bun -v
1.3.1

test-project/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ ll src/index.ts

id does build but give me an error when selecting the embed dir without start:

desktop/maudio/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ bun build --compile ./src/index.ts ./embed
   [3ms]  bundle  8 modules
   [5ms] compile  index
   
desktop/maudio/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ ./index 
EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/$bunfs'
    path: "/$bunfs",
 syscall: "mkdir",
   errno: -13,
    code: "EACCES"


Bun v1.3.1 (Linux x64)

please fix docs and/or implementation +1

I found a solution that worked for me — maybe it will work for you too.
Please consider updating the documentation.

The following works for me now, but it is not documented:

desktop/maudio/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ bun build --compile ./src/index.ts ./embed/**
   [3ms]  bundle  13 modules
  [17ms] compile  index

The following will break:

desktop/maudio/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 took 24s 
❯ bun build --compile ./src/index.ts ./embed/**/*
error: ModuleNotFound resolving "./embed/**/*" (entry point)

The following will not import the files from the './embed' directory (see modules count):

desktop/maudio/client via 🥟 v1.3.1 
❯ bun build --compile ./src/index.ts ./embed
   [3ms]  bundle  8 modules
   [3ms] compile  index

This behaviour is very strange and should be documented.

How does this work during development, doesn't look like embeddedFiles works on dev.
