ImportMeta

interface ImportMeta

• readonly dir: string

  Absolute path to the directory containing the source file, without a trailing slash

• dirname: string

  Alias of import.meta.dir. Exists for Node.js compatibility

• readonly env: Env & ProcessEnv & ImportMetaEnv

  The environment variables of the process

  import.meta.env === process.env

• readonly file: string

  Filename of the source file

• filename: string

  Alias of import.meta.path. Exists for Node.js compatibility

• hot: { data: any; accept(): void; dispose(cb: (data: any) => void | Promise<void>): void; off(event: HMREvent, callback: () => void): void; on(event: HMREvent, callback: () => void): void }

  Hot module replacement (HMR) APIs. In production this value is undefined, so you can guard HMR code with an if statement:

  if (import.meta.hot) {
    // HMR APIs are available
  }

  The check is usually unnecessary: Bun dead-code-eliminates calls to the HMR APIs in production builds.

• main: boolean

  true if the current file started the process

  if (import.meta.main) {
   console.log("I started the process!");
  }

• require: Require

  Load a CommonJS module within an ES Module. Bun's transpiler rewrites all calls to require with import.meta.require when transpiling ES Modules for the runtime.
