AI-coding-agent

An AI-powered code generator built with Node.js, Express, and OpenAI's GPT-4 integration.

Overview

It is a sophisticated AI assistant designed to generate code based on user prompts. It supports template-based generation for various project types including React and Node.js, producing complete, ready-to-use code artifacts.

Features

• AI-Powered Code Generation: Uses OpenAI's GPT-4 to generate code based on natural language prompts
• Project Templates: Support for different project frameworks including React and Node.js
• Comprehensive Artifacts: Generates complete sets of files, configurations, and commands
• Interactive Chat: Maintains conversation context for iterative code development

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14+) and npm
• OpenAI API key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <https://github.com/pushpitkamboj/coding-AI-agent>
   cd coding-AI-agent
   

2. Install dependencies:

   cd backend
   npm install
   

3. Set up environment variables:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Then edit .env and add your OpenAI API key:

   open_ai_api="your-openai-api-key"
   

Running the Server

1. Start the development server:

   npm run dev
   

   This will compile the TypeScript code and start the server at http://localhost:3000

API Endpoints

Generate Project Template

POST /template

Request body:

{
  "prompt": "Your project description here"
}

The API determines the appropriate project template (React or Node.js) based on the prompt.

Chat with AI for Code Generation

POST /chat

Request body:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Your prompt for code generation here"
    }
  ]
}

Usage Examples

Generate a React Component

Send a chat request with a prompt like:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Create a React component for a login form with email and password fields"
    }
  ]
}

Generate a Node.js Server

Send a chat request with a prompt like:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Create a simple Express server with a GET and POST route for managing a todo list"
    }
  ]
