Demo

Demo

Watch the ABAP Code Assistant in action - generating code from comments seamlessly!

Note: The GIF above is served from the GitHub repository raw URL so the Marketplace can display it without bundling the large file into the VSIX. If your repository is private, host the GIF on a public URL (GitHub Releases, S3, Imgur, etc.) and update the image URL accordingly.*

Note: The demo GIF shows the comment-based code generation feature in action. Select a comment and press Ctrl+Shift+G to see the magic happen!

Usage

Generate ABAP Code

1. Open an ABAP file (.abap, .sap, .sapabap)
2. Position your cursor where you want code completion
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+G (or Cmd+Shift+G on Mac)
4. Wait for generation - the extension will analyze context and generate ABAP code
5. Review and accept the generated code

Generate ABAP Debug Code

1. Open an ABAP file
2. Position your cursor where you want debug code
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+D (or Cmd+Shift+D on Mac)
4. Wait for generation - the extension will generate ABAP debugging code
5. Review and accept the generated debug code

Generate Code from Comment

1. Open an ABAP file
2. Type a comment describing what you want to implement
3. Select the comment (highlight it)
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+G - the comment will be replaced with generated code
5. Review and accept the generated code

Example

REPORT z_example.
DATA: lv_a TYPE i,
      lv_b TYPE i.

START-OF-SELECTION.
  [Select this comment: "* calculate sum"]
  [Press Ctrl+Shift+G]
  [Gets replaced with:]
  lv_a = 5.
  lv_b = 10.
  lv_sum = lv_a + lv_b.
  WRITE: / 'The sum of', lv_a, 'and', lv_b, 'is', lv_sum.

Commands

• Generate ABAP Code (Ctrl+Shift+G): Generate ABAP code at cursor
• Generate ABAP Debug Code (Ctrl+Shift+D): Generate debug code at cursor
• Generate Code from Comment (Ctrl+Shift+G with selection): Generate code from selected comment
• Setup Groq API: Configure your API key
• Show Configuration: Display current settings

ABAP Features

Code Generation

The extension generates ABAP code that:

• Follows SAP coding standards
• Uses proper ABAP syntax and keywords
• Includes proper error handling
• Uses meaningful variable names
• Includes comments where appropriate
• Follows the context and completes code logically

Debug Code Generation

The extension generates ABAP debug code that:

• Uses proper ABAP debugging statements (BREAK-POINT, WRITE, etc.)
• Includes variable inspection code
• Uses proper ABAP debugging patterns
• Includes performance monitoring if applicable
• Uses meaningful debug messages
• Follows SAP debugging guidelines

Common ABAP Debug Patterns

• BREAK-POINT: For breakpoints
• WRITE: For output statements

Example Usage

ABAP Code Generation

* Position cursor here and press Ctrl+Shift+G
FORM get_customer_data.
  CLEAR: lt_customers, lv_count.
  
  " AI will generate code like:
  " SELECT customer_id, name, email, phone
  "   FROM customers
  "   WHERE customer_id = @p_customer
  "   INTO TABLE @lt_customers.
  "
  " IF sy-subrc = 0.
  "   lv_count = lines( lt_customers ).
  "   WRITE: / 'Found', lv_count, 'customers'.
  " ELSE.
  "   MESSAGE 'No customers found' TYPE 'E'.
  " ENDIF.
ENDFORM.

ABAP Debug Code Generation

* Position cursor here and press Ctrl+Shift+D
FORM display_customer_data.
  " AI will generate debug code like:
  " BREAK-POINT.
  " WRITE: / 'Debug: Customer count =', lv_count.
  " 
  " LOOP AT lt_customers INTO ls_customer.
  "   WRITE: / 'Customer:', ls_customer-customer_id,
  "            'Name:', ls_customer-name.
  "   sy-tabix = sy-tabix.
  " ENDLOOP.
  "
  " DESCRIBE TABLE lt_customers LINES lv_count.
  " WRITE: / 'Total lines:', lv_count.
ENDFORM.

Happy ABAP coding! 🚀
