+name: Read a file as a string
+---
+
+The `Bun.file()` function accepts a path and returns a `BunFile` instance. The `BunFile` class extends `Blob` and allows you to lazily read the file in a variety of formats. Use `.text()` to read the contents as a string.
+
+```ts
+const path = "/path/to/file.txt";
+const file = Bun.file(path);
+
+const text = await file.text();
+// string
+```
+
+---
+
+Any relative paths will be resolved relative to the project root (the nearest directory containing a `package.json` file).
+
+```ts
+const path = "./file.txt";
+const file = Bun.file(path);
+```
