### JavaScript and TypeScript functions [Preview]

Functions can now be authored in JavaScript and TypeScript, alongside Python. A JavaScript function declares itself with `defineFunction` and is authored with the `@uipath/coded-functions-js-sdk` SDK.

Two capabilities have no Python counterpart:

- **HTTP endpoints.** A function that declares a method and a path is reachable over HTTP, so it can back a Coded App directly, holding the credentials and business rules the browser must never see. A function that declares neither runs as an Orchestrator job, like its Python counterpart. Either way the run appears in **Executions** with its input, output, and logs.
- **Execution context.** A handler receives a context carrying two identities, the caller's and the function's own, so it can either act on behalf of the signed-in user or reach Orchestrator under its own robot identity.

Typed contracts are declared as TypeScript interfaces or through `defineSchema<T>()`, and exported as JSON Schema, so typed fields appear in the binding UI on every invocation surface. Local development, packaging, and publishing run through the `uip function` CLI.

For details, refer to [Get started with JavaScript](../user-guide/javascript-getting-started.md).

### Build coded functions with a coding agent — Public Preview

You can now build coded functions entirely from a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others) and terminal.

The `uipath-functions` skill scaffolds a Python or TypeScript/JavaScript function, declares its input and output contracts, tests it locally, and packs and publishes it. The skill is available to install via `uip skills install`.

For details, refer to the following pages:
