Use [`Bun.write()`](/runtime/file-io#writing-files-bun-write) to write a string to disk at an _absolute path_. The first argument is a _destination_; the second is the _data_ to write.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const path = "/path/to/file.txt";
|
|
await Bun.write(path, "Lorem ipsum");
|
|
```
|
|

Bun resolves relative paths from the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const path = "./file.txt";
|
|
await Bun.write(path, "Lorem ipsum");
|
|
```
|

You can pass a `BunFile` as the destination. `Bun.write()` writes the data to its associated path.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const path = Bun.file("./file.txt");
|
|
await Bun.write(path, "Lorem ipsum");
|
|
```
|

`Bun.write()` returns the number of bytes written to disk.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const path = "./file.txt";
|
|
const bytes = await Bun.write(path, "Lorem ipsum");
|
|
// => 11
|
|
```
