What the publisher says
From the Bun Uia repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
bun-win32
Zero-dependency Win32 FFI bindings for Bun on Windows. Each system DLL is a standalone @bun-win32/* package with full type definitions.
Install
# Per-DLL packages:
bun add @bun-win32/kernel32 @bun-win32/user32 # etc...
# Or pull the entire surface in one install:
bun add @bun-win32/all # scoped meta-package
bun add bun-win32 # unscoped alias for the same surfaceRequires Bun >= 1.1.0 and Windows 10+.
Usage
After the first call resolves the symbol via dlopen/dlsym, the native function pointer is cached directly on the class. Every subsequent call is a straight pointer invocation through Bun's FFI - no marshaling layer, no runtime type checks, no wrapper overhead. It's the same codepath as calling the C function yourself.
For hot paths, Preload() resolves symbols eagerly so even the first call pays zero binding cost:
import Kernel32 from '@bun-win32/kernel32';
const pid = Kernel32.GetCurrentProcessId();
const ticks = Kernel32.GetTickCount64();import User32 from '@bun-win32/user32';
User32.Preload(['GetForegroundWindow', 'SetWindowPos']);
const { GetForegroundWindow, SetWindowPos } = User32;
SetWindowPos(hWnd, 0n, x, y, width, height, flags);[!IMPORTANT]
If you destructure before binding, you capture the lazy wrapper instead of the native function.
Packages
All type definitions are provided by @bun-win32/core.
Published packages are AI-friendly. Alongside the README.md, each package includes an AI.md file that documents the binding contract, type surface, and source layout so coding agents can use the package correctly.
Graphics & Windowing
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
