Turning an Application UI into an API

Claims a React architecture that turns UI components into an API so a shipped UI remains usable out of the box while every piece is programmable. Implements static .add/.remove/.replace APIs on components so children can be injected, reordered or removed; exposes action.before/action.after listeners and action.replace to intercept or replace handlers. Built as a programmable-component layer on Twilio Flex, demonstrated by forking a React Tetris app and wiring a live WhatsApp demo, and shown to work end to end in production-style use.
