Mobile Interfaces are moving from the conventional screen first navigation approach to an agentic system where AI assistants can access an app's underlying logic without needing to open the its user interfaces. Both Android and iOS have this covered with AppFunctions and App Intents respectively. The challenge is that these two solutions are compile-time and native-only APIs, so this will leave React Native apps out. The talk will show the audience how react-native-app-functions lets developers declare a function once in TypeScript and exposes it to AI assistants(gemini, siri).

Designing APIs is a challenge, and it's important to consider the language used and different versions of the API. API ergonomics focus on ease of use and trade-offs. Routing is a misunderstood aspect of API design, and file-based routing can simplify it. Unplugging View Router provides typed routes and eliminates the need to pass routes when creating the router. Data loading and handling can be improved with data loaders and predictable routes. Handling protected routes and index and ID files are also discussed.

Author of ArkType
This Talk discusses the concept of runtime validation in TypeScript and how it bridges the gap between TypeScript's expressiveness and runtime capabilities. The speaker explains the evolution of top-down parsing and the shift-reduced parser that made runtime validation possible. The benefits of runtime validation in terms of flexibility, scalability, and efficiency are highlighted. The integration of validation and the type system is emphasized, along with the enhanced validation capabilities and new features offered by the Archetype framework.

TypeScript is not just types and interfaces. Join this workshop to master more advanced features of TypeScript that will make your code bullet-proof. We will cover conditional types and infer notation, template strings and how to map over union types and object/array properties. Each topic will be demonstrated on a sample application that was written with basic types or no types at all and we will together improve the code so you get more familiar with each feature and can bring this new knowledge directly into your projects.
You will learn:- - What are conditional types and infer notation- What are template strings- How to map over union types and object/array properties.
