Config

You can customize Elysia behavior by:

  1. using constructor
  2. using listen

Constructor

Constructor will change some behavior of Elysia.

new Elysia({
  serve: {
    hostname: "0.0.0.0",
  },
});

Listen

.listen will config any value for starting server.

By default listen will either accept number or Object.

For Object, listen accept the same value as Bun.serve, you can provide any custom one except serve.

// ✅ This is fine
new Elysia().listen(8080);

// ✅ This is fine
new Elysia().listen({
  port: 8080,
  hostname: "0.0.0.0",
});
TIP

For providing WebSocket, please use WebSocket

Custom Port

You can provide a custom port from ENV by using process.env

new Elysia().listen(process.env.PORT ?? 8080);

Retrieve Port

You can get underlying Server instance from either using: .server property. Using callback in .listen

const app = new Elysia().listen(8080, ({ hostname, port }) => {
  console.log(`Running at http://${hostname}:${port}`);
});

// `server` will be null if listen isn't called
console.log(`Running at http://${app.server!.hostname}:${app.server!.port}`);
