Code Generation Types

Function and Method Generation

Create functions with proper signatures, documentation, and error handling:
Function Generation Example
# Input: "Create a function to validate email addresses with regex"

import re
from typing import bool

def validate_email(email: str) -> bool:
    """
    Validates an email address using regex pattern.
    
    Args:
        email (str): The email address to validate
        
    Returns:
        bool: True if email is valid, False otherwise
        
    Examples:
        >>> validate_email("user@example.com")
        True
        >>> validate_email("invalid-email")
        False
    """
    if not email or not isinstance(email, str):
        return False
    
    pattern = r'^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$'
    return bool(re.match(pattern, email.strip()))

# Additional utility function for batch validation
def validate_emails(emails: list[str]) -> dict[str, bool]:
    """Validate multiple email addresses at once."""
    return {email: validate_email(email) for email in emails}

Class and Object Generation

Generate complete classes with methods, properties, and inheritance:
Class Generation Example
// Input: "Create a TypeScript class for a shopping cart with items and calculations"

interface CartItem {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  price: number;
  quantity: number;
  discount?: number;
}

interface CartTotals {
  subtotal: number;
  tax: number;
  discount: number;
  total: number;
}

class ShoppingCart {
  private items: Map<string, CartItem> = new Map();
  private taxRate: number = 0.08; // 8% default tax rate

  constructor(taxRate?: number) {
    if (taxRate !== undefined) {
      this.taxRate = taxRate;
    }
  }

  /**
   * Add an item to the cart or update quantity if it exists
   */
  addItem(item: Omit<CartItem, 'quantity'>, quantity: number = 1): void {
    const existingItem = this.items.get(item.id);
    
    if (existingItem) {
      existingItem.quantity += quantity;
    } else {
      this.items.set(item.id, { ...item, quantity });
    }
  }

  /**
   * Remove an item from the cart
   */
  removeItem(itemId: string): boolean {
    return this.items.delete(itemId);
  }

  /**
   * Update the quantity of an item
   */
  updateQuantity(itemId: string, quantity: number): void {
    if (quantity <= 0) {
      this.removeItem(itemId);
      return;
    }

    const item = this.items.get(itemId);
    if (item) {
      item.quantity = quantity;
    }
  }

  /**
   * Calculate cart totals including tax and discounts
   */
  calculateTotals(): CartTotals {
    let subtotal = 0;
    let totalDiscount = 0;

    for (const item of this.items.values()) {
      const itemTotal = item.price * item.quantity;
      subtotal += itemTotal;
      
      if (item.discount) {
        totalDiscount += itemTotal * (item.discount / 100);
      }
    }

    const discountedSubtotal = subtotal - totalDiscount;
    const tax = discountedSubtotal * this.taxRate;
    const total = discountedSubtotal + tax;

    return {
      subtotal,
      tax,
      discount: totalDiscount,
      total
    };
  }

  /**
   * Get all items in the cart
   */
  getItems(): CartItem[] {
    return Array.from(this.items.values());
  }

  /**
   * Clear all items from the cart
   */
  clear(): void {
    this.items.clear();
  }

  /**
   * Get the number of unique items in the cart
   */
  getItemCount(): number {
    return this.items.size;
  }

  /**
   * Get the total quantity of all items
   */
  getTotalQuantity(): number {
    return Array.from(this.items.values())
      .reduce((total, item) => total + item.quantity, 0);
  }
}

export { ShoppingCart, type CartItem, type CartTotals };

API and Endpoint Generation

Create RESTful APIs with proper routing, validation, and error handling:
API Generation Example
// Input: "Create a Node.js Express API for user management with CRUD operations"

const express = require('express');
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const { body, param, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');

const router = express.Router();

// Rate limiting
const apiLimiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
  max: 100, // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
  message: 'Too many requests from this IP, please try again later.'
});

router.use(apiLimiter);

// Validation middleware
const validateUser = [
  body('email').isEmail().normalizeEmail(),
  body('password').isLength({ min: 8 }).matches(/^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)/),
  body('firstName').trim().isLength({ min: 1 }),
  body('lastName').trim().isLength({ min: 1 }),
  body('role').optional().isIn(['user', 'admin'])
];

const validateUserUpdate = [
  body('email').optional().isEmail().normalizeEmail(),
  body('firstName').optional().trim().isLength({ min: 1 }),
  body('lastName').optional().trim().isLength({ min: 1 }),
  body('role').optional().isIn(['user', 'admin'])
];

const validateId = [
  param('id').isMongoId()
];

// Error handling middleware
const handleValidationErrors = (req, res, next) => {
  const errors = validationResult(req);
  if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
    return res.status(400).json({
      success: false,
      message: 'Validation errors',
      errors: errors.array()
    });
  }
  next();
};

// Authentication middleware
const authenticateToken = (req, res, next) => {
  const authHeader = req.headers['authorization'];
  const token = authHeader && authHeader.split(' ')[1];

  if (!token) {
    return res.status(401).json({
      success: false,
      message: 'Access token required'
    });
  }

## Troubleshooting

### Common Generation Issues

#### Incomplete or Incorrect Code
**Problem**: Generated code doesn't meet requirements or has errors  
**Solutions**:
- Provide more specific and detailed requirements
- Include example inputs/outputs and expected behavior
- Specify the exact technologies and versions to use
- Break complex requests into smaller, focused tasks
- Review and refine prompts for clarity

#### Integration Problems
**Problem**: Generated code doesn't integrate well with existing codebase  
**Solutions**:
- Share relevant existing code context
- Specify coding conventions and style guides
- Provide information about project architecture
- Include dependency and configuration details
- Request code that matches existing patterns

#### Performance Issues
**Problem**: Generated code is slow or inefficient  
**Solutions**:
- Specify performance requirements upfront
- Request algorithmic complexity analysis
- Ask for optimization suggestions
- Include expected data sizes and usage patterns
- Request benchmarking and profiling guidance
