bun-types: declare the values that exports.replace of Bun.Transpiler accepts - #44193
TranspilerOptions.exports.replace is declared Record<string, string> (packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts:3014, docs/runtime/transpiler.mdx:212). Valid code fails: Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'. Bun.Transpiler cannot trim unused imports in tsx mode #12892 reports it for getStaticProps: ["__N_SSG", true].
Config::from_js (src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs:488) accepts a string, number, boolean, null, undefined, and a [name, value] pair.
The docs comment says "rename". A string becomes the value of the export.
Fix
Declare the five plain types and a readonly [name, value] pair, in bun.d.ts and the docs. The JSDoc states both forms and the limits of the runtime (see Notes).
Verified: test/integration/bun-types/fixture/transpiler.ts, run by bun-types.test.ts (24 pass). The declaration on main gives 30 diagnostics.
Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed. Not done: a tracking issue for the other TranspilerOptions gaps (see Notes).
Background
exports.replace maps an exported declaration to a replacement. Frameworks replace server-only exports with it.
A plain value becomes ReplaceableExport::Replace, a pair ReplaceableExport::Inject. Both are as old as the option (42414d5, 0137e5c).
Considered a named public type: the inline union adds no name. A mutable tuple rejects as const pairs.
Downsides
The pair becomes documented public API. If it must stay internal, declare plain values only.
Code that reads the option as a string map reports TS2322. An @ts-expect-error workaround reports TS2578.
The runtime is unchanged: a file that exports two keys with one pair name throws.
Notes
No change in src/. The runtime facts come from release builds of bun 1.4.4+38afee6c8 and 1.4.4-canary.1+a8fcd319b, on Linux x64. The two builds print the same output in every row below. Where a table has a 1.4.3 column, it is the release build 1.4.3+c6da4a4d3. From a8fcd31 to the main that this branch merges (449877f), src/js_parser, src/js_printer and src/ast have no change. JSTranspiler.rs has one changed line, which renames a call.
What the runtime does with each value (one entry, source export const a = 5;)
TypeError: exports.replace values can only be string, null, undefined, number or boolean
[1, true], ["a-b", 1], key "a-b"
TypeError: "1" is not a valid ECMAScript identifier (and the same for the other names)
The JSDoc example runs as written and prints the output it states, with each of the four loaders and with deadCodeElimination on and off.
A pair on the default key
The first version of this PR made the type reject default: [name, value], because 1.4.3 aborts on it. #46021 changed the runtime and added two rows to test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js (lines 2478 and 2479) that test it. The type now has no clause for default. The JSDoc and the docs page no longer say "The default key takes a value, and not a pair."
replace: { default: ["N", 1] } with four sources (export default 5;, export default class C {}, export default function f() {}, const z = g(); export default 5;), deadCodeElimination on and off, three runs per build:
build
rows that print export var N = 1;
the other rows
1.4.3+c6da4a4d3
4 of 8
3 end with SIGABRT, 1 prints no export
1.4.4+38afee6c8
8 of 8
1.4.4-canary.1+a8fcd319b
8 of 8
A wider run on the two 1.4.4 builds has 800 rows: 27 forms of a module (23 with the js and jsx loaders), four loaders, deadCodeElimination on and off, and four sets of options (none, treeShaking, trimUnusedImports, minifyWhitespace). No row ends with a signal and no row throws. 688 rows print the new export. The other 112 rows have nothing that this key replaces:
a module with no default export (32 rows)
export default interface I {} (16 rows)
const x = g(); export { x as default }; (64 rows). An export clause takes the local name as its key, for each key and for both forms. x: ["N", 1] replaces it.
The exports that the JSDoc says Bun leaves as they are
The JSDoc names what a key matches: a const, let, var, function or class declaration, and default for export default. It lists four exports that a key does not change. Results on the two 1.4.4 builds, where "as written" is the output of a transpiler with no exports option:
source
replace
deadCodeElimination
result
export function a() { return f(); }, export class a {}
export default class C {}, export default class {}
default: 1
true and false
as written
the same
default: ["N", 1]
true and false
export var N = 1;
const local = f(); export { local as name };
name: 1 or name: ["N", true]
true
as written
the same
local: ["N", true]
true
const local = f(); and export var N = true;
export { local as name } from "x";
name: 1
true
export var name = 1; and export { } from "x";
The "as written" rows are the same on 1.4.3. An earlier version of this PR left them out of the JSDoc, because open PRs were about to change them. #33378 and #44137 ended when #46021 merged. A maintainer marked #44138 as not planned. #38527 (the export default class row) has no commit since 2026-08-14.
A script runs each runtime sentence of the JSDoc: 66 checks (the kinds of declaration, the two forms with five values each, the four exports above with the opposite case of each, the export list, the name of a pair, the two errors, the example). All hold on both 1.4.4 builds. On 1.4.3 the script stops at two of them: export let a; loses its export, and a pair on default aborts.
An export list, and the name of a pair
The JSDoc states two limits of a pair. 1.4.3 and the two 1.4.4 builds print the same in each row:
source
replace
result
const h = f(); export { h as name };
h: ["N", true]
const h = f(); and export var N = true;
the same
h: 1
const h = f(); and export var h = 1;, a second declaration of h. Bun's parser rejects this output
getStaticProps: ["__N_SSG", true] and getStaticPaths: ["__N_SSG", true]
transformSync() throws BuildMessage: "__N_SSG" has already been declared, and transform() rejects
export const getStaticProps = f(); export const other = 1;
the same map
export const __N_SSG = true; and export const other = 1;
let N, var N, const N, function N or class N at the top level, then export const a = f();
a: ["N", 1]
transformSync() throws BuildMessage: "N" has already been declared
export const a = f(); function g() { const N = 1; return N; }
a: ["N", 1]
export const N = 1; and the function
The map with one name for two keys is the map that test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js:2327 builds, and the fixture keeps it. The limit is per file: a file that exports one of the two keys transforms. A runtime that reuses the export it already added is a change in src/, and it is not in this PR.
What the JSDoc does not say
Results on the two 1.4.4 builds:
input
result
1.4.3
import { N } from "x" and a: ["N", 1]
ts loader: no error, the new export takes the place of the import. js loader: "N" has already been declared
the same
key class, or the name class in a pair
accepted. A pair prints export const class = 1;
the same
the name default in a pair
export default 1;
export const default = 1;
export let a; (no initializer)
export let a = 1;
the export is dropped
a string value, then a require() of a CommonJS module, then transformSync()
the value is printed
segmentation fault
The last row is the test keeps string replacement values valid after another module is parsed (test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js:2492). It fails on 1.4.3 and passes on both 1.4.4 builds. An earlier version of this PR listed that bug (#38541) as a downside. No ASAN build ran for these rows.
A pair in a variable
TypeScript gives a literal the type of the call only when the literal is inside the call. A pair that is written before the call, with no type, is (string | boolean)[], and the declaration accepts a tuple. Compiled with TypeScript 6.0.2 and the options of bun-types.test.ts, on a key getStaticProps and on the key default, with the same result:
spelling
result
the pair inline in the constructor call
compiles
as const on the pair, on the pair inside the map, or on the map
compiles
satisfies with the type of replace
compiles
an annotation on the pair, on the map, or on the options
compiles
a pair, a map, or the options in a variable with no type
TS2322 (TS2345 for the options)
The JSDoc names as const. The pair stays a tuple: an array type also accepts [], ["__NAME"], ["__NAME", true, 1] and [1, true], and each of the four makes the constructor throw a TypeError.
What the JSDoc says about names
The JSDoc says how to write a key and the name of a pair, and it gives one error: the constructor throws a TypeError for a-b. It does not say that a name must be a valid identifier, because the constructor tests the form of the name only. foo-bar, 1a and a.b throw. class, default and await pass, and let passes the constructor and fails in transformSync() with a BuildMessage.
Not declared, on purpose
A String object, an object with length: 2, and a function with two parameters pass the runtime checks. The type does not offer them.
replace: null is read as "not set". No sibling option of TranspilerOptions declares null, so this one does not either.
replace?: has no | undefined, like every other property of TranspilerOptions.
Each part of the declaration is tested
The fixture pins the exact type of a value. It has one accepted case per member, three accepted cases for a pair on the default key, and 11 rows under @ts-expect-error. The fixture fails with each of these changes to the declaration. "No number" and the rows like it remove the type from the plain values and from the value of the pair.

Earlier attempts
#33386 and #35658 carried this type change next to runtime changes. Neither merged, and no maintainer commented on them (#35658 was superseded, a stale sweep ended #33386). This PR has the types and the docs only, so it does not depend on a runtime change.
The runtime accepts a string, number, boolean, null or undefined, and a
[name, value] pair that replaces the export with an export called name.
The declaration and the docs said Record<string, string>.
The default key takes a plain value only. A pair for the default export
does not work with dead code elimination on.
The code runs on bun 1.4.4. With the declaration on main it fails the type check: Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.
bun test test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts
With the declaration on main, the fixture test/integration/bun-types/fixture/transpiler.ts reports 30 diagnostics. On this branch the file passes (24 pass, 0 fail).
Question for review: this PR makes the [name, value] pair documented public API. If the pair must stay internal, the declaration can keep the plain values only.

The type of a key and of the name of a pair is string. The constructor
throws a TypeError for one that is not written as an identifier, such
as a-b. The JSDoc and the docs snippet now say so.
TypeScript infers an array for a pair that it meets with no type, and
the declaration accepts a tuple. The JSDoc and the docs snippet name
as const. The fixture has the spellings that compile and the two that
do not.

I reviewed the updated push and found no bugs; the follow-up commit covers the variable-held pair case I raised earlier (JSDoc now names the as const requirement, and the fixture pins the inferred (string | boolean)[] gap with @ ts-expect-error). Since packages/bun-types/ is CODEOWNER-gated, a maintainer look is still the right next step.
What was reviewed:
Compared the declared union against Config::from_js in src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs (lines 546-604) and export_replacement_value (line 876): string/number/boolean/null/undefined and a length-2 [name, value] pair are exactly what the runtime accepts.
Checked the "TypeError for a-b" claim: keys and pair names go through bun_core::string::identifier::is_identifier (form-only, so default passes) and the rejection is throw_invalid_arguments, which is a TypeError.
Confirmed ExportsReplace["default"] collapses to the plain-value union under the Record & { default? } intersection, so the expectType pins in the fixture hold; only one */ in the new JSDoc block.
The .mdx and .d.ts declare the same type and the same constraints; fixture follows the per-API file layout and the existing expectType().is<>() helper.
Extended reasoning...
The PR changes only the TypeScript declaration of Bun.TranspilerOptions.exports.replace in packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts, mirrors it in docs/runtime/transpiler.mdx, and adds a type-check fixture at test/integration/bun-types/fixture/transpiler.ts; no runtime code changes. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The new type matches the runtime parser in src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs, and the third commit addressed the inline concern from the previous review. Approval is withheld because packages/bun-types/ is covered by .github/CODEOWNERS, and I could not execute the bun-types integration test in this environment to confirm the fixture passes under both tsconfigs.
Update: the edit below is in this PR as d40aaa4. #44137 did not merge. Its change reached main in #46021 (9b4284f, part of 1.4.4), with two rows in test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js (lines 2478 and 2479) that test a pair on the default key. On bun 1.4.4, replace: { default: ["N", 1] } prints export var N = 1; in 8 of 8 rows (four sources, deadCodeElimination on and off). On 1.4.3 it is 4 of 8, and 3 rows end with SIGABRT. With the edit, bun-types.test.ts passes (24 pass, 0 fail).
The text from 2026-09-29 follows.
This PR and #44137 merge with no textual conflict, but they disagree about one input: a pair on the default key.
The type in this PR rejects replace: { default: ["N", 1] }. That is correct for main, where this input ends the process with panic: unreachable (3 of 3 runs, release and debug builds).
If both PRs merge as they are, the type rejects an input that the runtime accepts. The PR that merges second owes one edit:
packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts: remove the sentence "The default key takes a value, and not a pair." and the & { default?: ... } part of the type.
docs/runtime/transpiler.mdx: remove the same comment line and the same part of the type.
test/integration/bun-types/fixture/transpiler.ts: remove the expectType<ExportsReplace["default"]> row and the three @ts-expect-error comments. The three rows stay as accepted input.
If #44137 merges first, the edit goes into this PR. If this PR merges first, the edit goes into #44137. Nothing changes before one of the two merges.
With only the type changed, tsc reports 4 diagnostics in transpiler.ts: TS2554 at line 13, and TS2578 (unused @ts-expect-error) at lines 117, 121 and 126.
With the whole edit, test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts passes (22 pass, 0 fail).

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 8 remain after this review.
The JSDoc said that each key is the name of an exported declaration.
The runtime matches a const, let, var, function or class declaration
and export default. It leaves four exports as they are: export function
and export class with deadCodeElimination false, a name from a
destructuring pattern, export default class with a value that is not a
pair, and the exported name of a local export list.
…orts.replace
For an export list with no from, the key is the local name, and only a
pair gives output that parses: a plain value adds a second declaration
of the local name. transformSync() throws when the top level of the
file declares the name of a pair, or when two replaced exports of one
file take the same name. The JSDoc and the docs snippet say both.

default: [name, value], because 1.4.3 aborts on it. #46021 changed the runtime and added two rows totest/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js(lines 2478 and 2479) that test it. The type now has no clause fordefault. The JSDoc and the docs page no longer say "Thedefaultkey takes a value, and not a pair."replace: { default: ["N", 1] }with four sources (export default 5;,export default class C {},export default function f() {},const z = g(); export default 5;),deadCodeEliminationon and off, three runs per build:export var N = 1;A wider run on the two 1.4.4 builds has 800 rows: 27 forms of a module (23 with the
jsandjsxloaders), four loaders,deadCodeEliminationon and off, and four sets of options (none,treeShaking,trimUnusedImports,minifyWhitespace). No row ends with a signal and no row throws. 688 rows print the new export. The other 112 rows have nothing that this key replaces:export default interface I {}(16 rows)const x = g(); export { x as default };(64 rows). An export clause takes the local name as its key, for each key and for both forms.x: ["N", 1]replaces it.The exports that the JSDoc says Bun leaves as they are
The JSDoc names what a key matches: a
const,let,var,functionorclassdeclaration, anddefaultforexport default. It lists four exports that a key does not change. Results on the two 1.4.4 builds, where "as written" is the output of a transpiler with noexportsoption:replacedeadCodeEliminationexport function a() { return f(); },export class a {}a: 1ora: ["N", true]falsetrue(the default)export var a = 1;orexport var N = true;export const { a } = value;,export const [a, b] = f();a: 1ora: ["N", true]trueexport default class C {},export default class {}default: 1trueandfalsedefault: ["N", 1]trueandfalseexport var N = 1;const local = f(); export { local as name };name: 1orname: ["N", true]truelocal: ["N", true]trueconst local = f();andexport var N = true;export { local as name } from "x";name: 1trueexport var name = 1;andexport { } from "x";The "as written" rows are the same on 1.4.3. An earlier version of this PR left them out of the JSDoc, because open PRs were about to change them. #33378 and #44137 ended when #46021 merged. A maintainer marked #44138 as not planned. #38527 (the
export default classrow) has no commit since 2026-08-14.A script runs each runtime sentence of the JSDoc: 66 checks (the kinds of declaration, the two forms with five values each, the four exports above with the opposite case of each, the export list, the name of a pair, the two errors, the example). All hold on both 1.4.4 builds. On 1.4.3 the script stops at two of them:
export let a;loses its export, and a pair ondefaultaborts.An export list, and the name of a pair
The JSDoc states two limits of a pair. 1.4.3 and the two 1.4.4 builds print the same in each row:
replaceconst h = f(); export { h as name };h: ["N", true]const h = f();andexport var N = true;h: 1const h = f();andexport var h = 1;, a second declaration ofh.

TypeScript gives a literal the type of the call only when the literal is inside the call. A pair that is written before the call, with no type, is
(string | boolean)[], and the declaration accepts a tuple. Compiled with TypeScript 6.0.2 and the options ofbun-types.test.ts, on a keygetStaticPropsand on the keydefault, with the same result:as conston the pair, on the pair inside the map, or on the mapsatisfieswith the type ofreplaceTS2322(TS2345for the options)The JSDoc names
as const. The pair stays a tuple: an array type also accepts[],["__NAME"],["__NAME", true, 1]and[1, true], and each of the four makes the constructor throw aTypeError.What the JSDoc says about names
The JSDoc says how to write a key and the
nameof a pair, and it gives one error: the constructor throws aTypeErrorfora-b. It does not say that a name must be a valid identifier, because the constructor tests the form of the name only.foo-bar,1aanda.bthrow.class,defaultandawaitpass, andletpasses the constructor and fails intransformSync()with aBuildMessage.Not declared, on purpose
Stringobject, an object withlength: 2, and a function with two parameters pass the runtime checks. The type does not offer them.replace: nullis read as "not set". No sibling option ofTranspilerOptionsdeclaresnull, so this one does not either.replace?:has no| undefined, like every other property ofTranspilerOptions.Each part of the declaration is tested
The fixture pins the exact type of a value. It has one accepted case per member, three accepted cases for a pair on the
defaultkey, and 11 rows under@ts-expect-error. The fixture fails with each of these changes to the declaration. "Nonumber" and the rows like it remove the type from the plain values and from the value of the pair.Record<string, string>(the declaration onmain)defaultclause that takes plain values only (this PR up to c92c229)readonlyundefined, nonullstringnumberbooleanunknownunknownRecord<string, any>readonly (string | number | boolean | null | undefined)[]With the declaration of this branch, the whole fixture folder reports 0 diagnostics.
