Save Your Time with CodeGPT Code Generation in Flutter
CodeGPT is a powerful tool for generating code using natural language prompts. It uses state-of-the-art natural language processing models to understand your intent and generate code that matches your specifications. In this article, i’ll show you how to set up CodeGPT in Flutter, configure it, and generate code using natural language prompts.
Setting up CodeGPT in Flutter
The first step in using CodeGPT in Flutter is to set it up in your project. Here’s how you can do :
- Install Flutter: If you haven’t already, download and install Flutter from the official website.
- Create a new Flutter project: Open Android Studio or Visual Studio Code and create a new Flutter project.
- Add Code GPT extension by clicking Extension Menu on Visual Studio Code => Search for Code GPT => Install.
Configuring CodeGPT
Once you have set up CodeGPT in Visual Studio Code and done setup Flutter project, the next step is to configure it. Here’s how you can do that:
- Configure CodeGPT with your OpenAI API key. To generate OpenAI API key, navigate to https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys and click the Create new secret key button.
After creating a new secret key, then copy the key and back to your VSCode, go to VSCode press cmd+shift+p then search for “set api key”. Paste your api key that you got before, then reload the window.
GPT 3.5 Turbo
Because we choose GPT 3.5 Turbo, you may want to know a little about gpt 3.5 turbo. From the official openAi website reference, GPT-3.5 models can understand and generate natural language or code. Our most capable and cost effective model in the GPT-3.5 family is gpt-3.5-turbo which has been optimized for chat but works well for traditional completions tasks as well.
Generating Code with CodeGPT
Now that we have set up and configured CodeGPT in Flutter project, it’s time to generate some code using natural language prompts. Here’s how you can do :
as shown, i create a comment to create a function validate email with regex, after that press cmd+shift+i, then the codeGPT will thinking, wait until it’s done. after done, it will show the generate code result in Dart.
This is another feature based on information inside the extension :
CodeGPT Chat: Open a chat interface with the icon in the extensions barGet Code: Create a comment asking for a specific code and CodeGPT will open a new Editor with the code (You don't need to write the code language. CodeGPT will detect it automatically).Ask CodeGPT: CodeGPT will open a new Editor and respond the question.Ask CodeGPT - code selected: Select the code and ask a question, CodeGPT will open a new Editor and respond the question.Compile & Run CodeGPT: CodeGPT will compile and run your selected code.Ask StackOverflow: Search for a question using the Stackoverflow API and Code GPT will show the best human answer and then the AI answer.Explain CodeGPT: CodeGPT will open a new Editor and explain the code.Refactor CodeGPT: CodeGPT will open a new Editor and refactor the code.Document CodeGPT: CodeGPT will open a new Editor and Document the code.Find Problems CodeGPT: CodeGPT will open a new Editor and find problems in the code.Unit Test CodeGPT: CodeGPT will open a new Editor and write unit tests of the code.
Conclusion
CodeGPT is a powerful tool for generating code using natural language prompts. In this article, i showed you how to set up CodeGPT in Flutter, configure it by obtaining an API token key from openAI website, and how generate code . With CodeGPT, you can save time and effort by automating the process of generating code, allowing you to focus on more important tasks.
