LazyDev: Automating Coding Projects

Lazyness is the mother of invention 😉

LazyDev is a Python module that utilizes GPT models to create entire coding projects for you. With just a few simple commands, LazyDev can generate a project file tree, write the necessary code, and even test the project for you. Say goodbye to the hassle of setting up projects from scratch and let LazyDev do the heavy lifting for you.

Features

• Effortless project initialization: Simply use the lazydev develop -r "I want to develop a game" command to kickstart the project generation process.
• Interactive question-based approach: LazyDev asks relevant questions to gather essential information before starting the coding process, ensuring that the generated project meets your specific requirements.
• Complete project planning: LazyDev plans the entire project structure based on the gathered information, setting up the necessary directories and files for you.
• Automated code generation: The module automatically generates the code based on the project plan, saving you time and effort.
• Built-in testing functionality: LazyDev even includes an automated testing phase to ensure that the generated code performs as expected.

Installation

LazyDev requires Python 3.6 or above.

pip install lazydev

setup environment

first setup your shell with openai api key in the environment. I would recommend adding it to your ~/.bashrc

echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_key"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

for zsh users:

echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_key"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

Replace your_openai_key with your openai api key

Usage

Using LazyDev is as simple as running a single command. Once installed, you can initiate the project generation process by executing the following command:

Sample

lazydev develop --requirement REQUIREMENT

Replace REQUIREMENT with a brief description of your project's purpose or objective. LazyDev will then prompt you with a series of questions to gather the necessary information for project generation.

After answering the questions, LazyDev will proceed to plan the project structure, create the appropriate file tree, generate the required code files, and even run tests to verify the functionality.

Flags

you can use the following flags :

options:

• -h, --help show this help message and exit

• --requirement REQUIREMENT, -r REQUIREMENT # The initial requirement

• --directory DIRECTORY, -d DIRECTORY # The directory path to put generated files default is ./code

• --model MODEL, -m MODEL # GPT Mode to use. options: gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo-16k, gpt-4. default: gpt-3.5-turbo-16k

Example

Let's say you want to create a Python web application for managing a book library. You can use LazyDev to automate the project setup. Here's an example command:

lazydev develop -r "Book Library Web App"

LazyDev will ask you questions like:

• What database system would you like to use?
• What features would you like to include in your web app?
• Are there any specific libraries or frameworks you want to use?

Based on your responses, LazyDev will generate the project structure, code templates, and even a basic test suite for your book library web app.
