Can TOML files be used as entry points in Bun


Bun can utilize TOML files as entry points, specifically through the `bunfig.toml` configuration file. This allows users to define settings for Bun projects without needing to repeatedly specify command-line flags. The `bunfig.toml` file can contain various properties that customize the behavior of the Bun runtime depending on different environments, such as development or production[1][6].

Moreover, Bun supports the parsing of TOML files directly. When using the `bun build` command, for example, TOML files can be inlined into the bundle as JavaScript objects, allowing for seamless integration within the project[3][7]. This capability makes TOML a viable option for configuration in Bun, enhancing its usability and flexibility in project setups.

In summary, while Bun is primarily focused on JavaScript and JSON configurations, it does indeed support TOML files as entry points and configuration files, making it a versatile choice for developers who prefer TOML's syntax.
