Object inspection depth
Bun allows you to configure how deeply nested objects are displayed in console.log() output:
CLI flag: Use --console-depth to set the depth for a single run
Configuration: Set console.depth in your bunfig.toml for persistent configuration
Default: Objects are inspected to a depth of 2 levels

Skip to main contentBun home pageThe console object in Bun
const nested = { a: { b: { c: { d: "deep" } } } };
console.log(nested);
// Default (depth 2): { a: { b: [Object] } }
// With depth 4: { a: { b: { c: { d: 'deep' } } } }
The CLI flag takes precedence over the configuration file setting.
Reading from stdin
In Bun, the console object can be used as an AsyncIterable to sequentially read lines from process.stdin.
adder.tsfor await (const line of console) {
console.log(line);
}
This is useful for implementing interactive programs, like the following addition calculator.
adder.tsconsole.log(`Let's add some numbers!`);
console.write(`Count: 0\n> `);
let count = 0;
for await (const line of console) {
count += Number(line);
console.write(`Count: ${count}\n> `);
}
To run the file:
terminalbun adder.ts Let's add some numbers! Count: 0 > 5 Count: 5 > 5 Count: 10 > 5 Count: 15
