[Quick Start]: Is it necessary to set up a bun build script?

Documentation is confusing, Example code is not working

What is the issue?

Hello,

While reading the “Quick Start” document, I noticed that the "build" command is defined in the “Manual Installation” chapter.

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "bun --watch src/index.ts",
    "build": "bun build src/index.ts",
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production bun src/index.ts",
    "test": "bun test"
  }
}

However, when running the command in bun 1.1.10, the transpiled JavaScript source code is output to the standard output.

While using the --outdir flag allows exporting js files, it raises the question of whether these JS files are actually necessary.

Isn’t bun build intended for frontend solutions like React?

Running js files instead of ts files in production doesn’t seem to provide any benefits.

Therefore, to avoid confusion, how about removing the build script from the documentation?

Thank you.

Where did you find it?
