RefactorAI
RefactorAI is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows engineers and developers to refactor, debug, and explain their code using natural language processing. With RefactorAI, you can quickly generate AI-generated responses that can help you improve your code quality and solve complex programming problems.
Features
- Refactor: Refactor your code using AI-generated suggestions.
- Debug: Debug your code using AI-generated suggestions.
- Explain: Get an AI-generated explanation of your code.
- Custom: Add a custom prompt.
Installation
To install RefactorAI, follow these steps:
- Open Visual Studio Code.
- Click on the Extensions icon in the sidebar (or press
Ctrl+Shift+X).
- Search for "RefactorAI" in the search bar.
- Click on the "Install" button next to RefactorAI.
- Wait for the installation to complete.
Alternatively, you can download the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and install it manually.
Usage
To use RefactorAI, follow these steps:
- Type "Activate RefactorAI" into the command palette (or press
Ctrl+Shift+P and search for "Activate RefactorAI").
- Paste your code into the input box that appears.
- Press either the "Refactor", "Debug", or "Explain" button.
- Wait for the AI-generated response to appear.
In the future, you'll be able to use keybindings or add RefactorAI to your toolbar for quicker access.
Roadmap
RefactorAI is a new tool, and evolves every week. Here's a rough roadmap:
[ ] Allow users to sign in with Gitub
[x] Enable streaming mode so responses come in word-by-word and not all at once
[ ] Allow users to use their own API keys
[ ] Allow users to select different AI models for the response
[ ] Select code, then select RefactorAI function from context menu or press keybind, and receive AI response in side pane webview
[ ] Access file system (in restricted mode) to read Typescript declaration files, custom types, and typed packages
[ ] Access file system (in restricted mode) to allow AI to gain context on how codebase works
Requirements
RefactorAI requires an internet connection. In the future, it will require a valid API key to use.
Extension Settings
RefactorAI does not have any configurable settings at this time.
