Overview

This project aims to generate code using the OpenAI API in an evolutionary way. It means that each generation will build upon the previous one to make the code better, extend it, refactor it or fix bugs.

Getting Started Guide

This guide will walk you through the process of using our generative process powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.5 language model to create innovative JavaScript projects. You'll learn how to install dependencies, add your API key, run the first generation, and explore the results.

1. Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (version 18.x or higher): https://nodejs.org/en/download/
• npm (usually bundled with Node.js): https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm

2. Clone the repository

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone [email protected]:failfa-st/fail1.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd fail1

3. Install dependencies

Install the required dependencies by running:

npm install

4. Add your API key

Create an account at https://platform.openai.com/signup and obtain your API key.

Copy the .env.example file to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Open the .env file and add your OpenAI API key:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

To start the code generation process, run the following command:

node generation-000.js -G "<goal>" -g <generations> -p "<persona>" -t <temperature> -c -m "<model>" -n "<negative_prompt>"

Options

Option	Alias	Type	Default	Description
--goal	-G	string	"extend the code"	Sets the goal of the generated code
--generations	-g	number	1	Sets the number of generations for the generated code
--persona	-p	string	"expert node.js developer, creative, code optimizer, interaction expert"	Sets the persona of the generated code
--temperature	-t	number	0.2	Sets the temperature for the generated code
--clean	-c	boolean	false	Set to true if you want to remove any previously generated code
--model	-m	string	"gpt-3.5-turbo"	Sets the model to use for generating the code
--negative	-n	string		Sets the negative prompt for the generated code

Functionality

This project generates code using the OpenAI API and follows a set of instructions and constraints to produce code that can be extended, refactored or fixed. Each generation of code builds upon the previous one and aims to improve the code. The project uses different personas to generate code, and a specified number of generations of code can be generated. The generated code is formatted using prettier and saved in separate files. The project also keeps track of changes and provides a changelog. Additionally, it can remove previously generated code. The project can handle errors.

The project has two files:

• base.js: This file controls how the code is generated using the OpenAI API.
• generation-000.js: This file is the starting point for the code generation process. It sets everything in motion for generating code.
