Flytrap: the VS Code extension that automatically fixes front-end code errors and makes AI code fixes securely in mirrors

General Introduction

Flytrap is an extension designed for VS Code that utilizes artificial intelligence techniques to automatically fix errors in code. Users simply describe the problem and the Flytrap agent works in the background to write, test and validate the code fix.Flytrap ensures the accuracy and reliability of the fix by creating a mirrored version of the project repository for security testing. The tool not only improves development efficiency, but also allows developers to focus on more meaningful work.

Function List

• Automatically fix code errors: After the user describes the problem, the Flytrap agent automatically writes, tests and verifies the fix.
• Mirror repository testing: Security testing is performed on mirrored versions of the project repository to ensure the accuracy of code fixes.
• VS Code Integration: Easy to use directly in VS Code editor.
• User control: fixes are reviewed and approved by users to ensure code quality.
• Multiple programming languages are supported: including Node.js, JavaScript and TypeScript.

Detailed Function Operation

• Automatically fixes code errors: The user enters a description of the code error in the Flytrap extension, and the Flytrap agent automatically writes, tests and validates the fix. The fix is securely tested on a mirrored version of the project repository to ensure the accuracy of the code fix.
• Mirror repository testing: Flytrap ensures the accuracy and reliability of the fix by creating a mirror version of the project repository for security testing. Users can continue to work in the original repository unaffected.
• user control: Fixes are reviewed and approved by the user to ensure code quality. Users can view the details of the fix in the Flytrap extension and decide whether to apply the fix.
• Supports multiple programming languagesFlytrap supports multiple programming languages such as Node.js, JavaScript and TypeScript to meet the needs of different developers.

Flytrap Frequently Asked Questions

How does Flytrap work?

Flytrap is an AI agent-powered extension to VS Code designed to automatically fix bugs in your code based on your natural language descriptions. With access to your project's filesystem and shell, it works by creating a mirrored version of your repository in which to safely test potential fixes. Once Flytrap has found and validated a solution, it presents that fix for you to review, ensuring that you have full control over the changes implemented in your codebase.

What are the limitations?

Currently, as with other LLM models, there are some limitations such as difficulty in recovering from errors, possible hallucinations, etc. Flytrap's agent behavior helps to combat these issues as the model receives immediate feedback, but it is far from perfect. We are working on improving the model to further address these issues and create more useful agents for the Node.js ecosystem.

Can I use Flytrap for free?

YES. You can use Flytrap for free with 5 free tasks per day. You can upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited use.
