Wenshin Express

What's the Wenshin Express Code?

Baidu Comate is an intelligent code assistant launched by Baidu, which is developed based on the Wenxin big model and improves developers' programming efficiency and code quality through artificial intelligence technology. It supports multiple programming languages, generates code in real time, optimizes code structure, generates comments and unit tests, and provides code interpretation and intelligent Q&A functions. Wenshin Quick Code seamlessly integrates with mainstream IDEs (such as VS Code and JetBrains series), and can be installed and used through plug-ins with one click, making it easy for developers to get started quickly in a familiar environment.

Main functions of Wenshin Express Code

• Annotation Generation Code: Automatically generate logical code implementations based on the contents of the annotations.
• Enhanced Generation Code: Tune up more accurate models to understand and generate code, and provide better code suggestions.
• Generating Unit Tests: For the function or method , the corresponding unit test code is automatically generated .
• Code generation comments: Generate canonical document comments and interlinear comments for functions or methods.
• code interpretation: Use natural language to explain the functionality and logic of the code and help developers quickly understand existing code.
• code optimization: Identify redundant or inefficient parts of the code and provide optimization suggestions to help developers write more concise and efficient code.
• intelligent question and answer (Q&A): Provide multi-round dialog intelligent Q&A function, developers can ask questions directly in the IDE to solve programming queries.
• code completion: Auto-completion of code based on the code context, reducing the error rate of manual input. In specific scenarios (e.g., function definitions, loops, conditional statements, etc.), provide multi-line code completion.
• Defect Detection: Detect potential defects in code and provide optimization recommendations.
• One-click fix: Supports one-click fixing of common security vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, SSRF, command injection, and so on.
• Tuning Recommendations: Analyze selected functions (methods) by means of a large language model and provide targeted recommendations, e.g., to make the code more standardized and readable, or to improve execution efficiency and reduce resource consumption.
• Real-time code continuation: Continuing code in real time based on context and predicting subsequent logic as the developer writes the code.
• Comate Zulu Mode (Beta): Supports developers in accomplishing programming tasks through completely natural language interaction, eliminating the need to write code manually.

• Usage
  • Real-time Completion: When coding normally, gray suggestions are automatically given by pressing theTabKey Adoption.
  • Annotation Generation Code: Write a detailed comment in Chinese or English, press enter and it may generate the code below directly.
  • context menu (computing): Select the code, right-click, the "Wenshin Express Code" related options will appear, such as "Generate Unit Tests", "Optimize Code", "Explain Code", etc. Optimize Code", "Explain Code", etc.
  • Sidebar Tools::
    • Chat: Open the chat window of Wenshin Express Code to have technical questions and answers, request code snippets to be generated, explain the code logic, and so on.
    • Zulu Smart BodyZulu Intelligent Body: Switch to Zulu Intelligent Body mode, you can put forward more macro project goals (such as "Help me create a to-do list app with React"), will guide you step by step to complete the project framework and functionality. zulu intelligent body can automatically edit the code, the execution of commands.
  • Single line recommendation: Wait a little while during the encoding process to see the recommended content of Wenshin Express Code. If you think the recommended content is good, you can useTabkey is adopted, otherwise you can use theESCkey to cancel the recommendation. In Visual Studio Code, you can adopt partial recommendations by word, making it easy to modify the code as you intended.
  • Multi-line recommendations: In compliance with the conditions for multi-line recommendations (e.g., the{Service,forLoop,ifjudgment, etc.), Wenxin Express Code will prioritize the calculation of the multi-line recommendation logic once. If the logic is complete, the multi-line recommendation result will be displayed.
  • Interline Alerts: After a recommendation has appeared, a line tip appears when the mouse is moved over the recommendation. Interline hints are used to show more capabilities and make it easier for the mouse to click on them.
