tRPC provides end-to-end type safety between client and server without code generation or schemas. TypeScript types flow automatically across the network boundary.
Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
