Rust Add-ons for Node and TypeScript: N-API, Typed Values, and Cross-Platform Builds

A practical two-hour session on Rust Add-ons for Node and TypeScript, focused on N-API, Typed Values, and Cross-Platform Builds. The session treats Rust as a native component exposed through C-compatible boundaries, with attention to packaging, ownership, host-runtime tests, and failure handling.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Add-ons for Node and TypeScript
• Apply N-API in a small working example
• Apply Typed Values in a small working example
• Apply and Cross-Platform Builds in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
