}AI Code Features
1. Code Generation
Generate code from natural language descriptions:
// User prompt: "Create a function to sort an array of objects by a key"
// Generated code:
function sortByKey<T>(array: T[], key: keyof T): T[] {
return array.sort((a, b) => {
if (a[key] < b[key]) return -1
if (a[key] > b[key]) return 1
return 0
})
}2. Code Explanation
Get line-by-line explanations:
// Code:
const result = array.reduce((acc, item) => acc + item.value, 0)
// Explanation:
// Line 1: Uses reduce() to iterate through the array
// - 'acc' is the accumulator (running total)
// - 'item' is the current array element
// - Adds item.value to the accumulator
// - Starts with initial value of 0
// Returns the sum of all values3. Smart Refactoring
Improve code quality and performance:
// Original:
let sum = 0
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
sum += array[i]
}
// Refactored:
const sum = array.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0)4. Bug Detection
Find and fix bugs automatically:
// Original (buggy):
function divide(a, b) {
return a / b
}
// Fixed:
function divide(a: number, b: number): number {
if (b === 0) {
throw new Error("Division by zero")
}
return a / b
}5. Test Generation
Generate unit tests:
// Function:
function isPalindrome(str: string): boolean {
const cleaned = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, "")
return cleaned === cleaned.split("").reverse().join("")
}
// Generated tests:
describe("isPalindrome", () => {
it("should return true for palindromes", () => {
expect(isPalindrome("racecar")).toBe(true)
expect(isPalindrome("A man, a plan, a canal: Panama")).toBe(true)
})
it("should return false for non-palindromes", () => {
expect(isPalindrome("hello")).toBe(false)
})
it("should handle empty strings", () => {
expect(isPalindrome("")).toBe(true)
})
})6. Documentation Generation
Auto-generate docstrings:
// Original:
function fetchUser(id: string) {
return fetch(`/api/users/${id}`).then((res) => res.json())
}
// With documentation:
/**
* Fetches a user from the API by their ID
* @param id - The unique identifier of the user
* @returns Promise resolving to the user object
* @throws Error if the fetch request fails
*/
function fetchUser(id: string): Promise<User> {
return fetch(`/api/users/${id}`).then((res) => res.json())
}7. Code Review
Get AI feedback on code quality:
## Code Review
### Strengths
- Clean, readable code
- Good variable naming
- Proper error handling
### Issues
- Missing type annotations (lines 5, 12)
- Potential null reference on line 8
- Consider extracting magic number on line 15
### Suggestions
1. Add TypeScript interfaces for data structures
2. Use optional chaining on line 8
3. Extract constants to top of file
4. Add input validation
### Security
- ⚠️ Potential XSS vulnerability on line 23 (user input not sanitized)Props
