To add an npm package as a peer dependency, use the `--peer` flag.
```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun add @types/bun --peer
```
---
This adds the package to `peerDependencies` in `package.json`.
```json package.json icon="file-json"
{
"peerDependencies": {
"@types/bun": "^1.3.3" // [!code ++]
}
}
```
---
`bun install` installs peer dependencies by default, unless they are marked optional in `peerDependenciesMeta`.
{/* prettier-ignore */}
```json package.json icon="file-json"
{
"peerDependencies": {
"@types/bun": "^1.3.3"
},
"peerDependenciesMeta": {
"@types/bun": { // [!code ++]
"optional": true // [!code ++]
} // [!code ++]
}
}
```
