vibeflow - effortless python functions

Project description

Documentation: https://vibeflow.readthedocs.io

License PyPi Stars Release date

From docstrings to done. Sometimes.

Life's too short for boilerplate. vibeflow is a python package for developers who have too much trust in AI and are not afraid to move fast and break things with AI slop. Stop implementing, start believing! vibeflow generates function implementations from function stubs. Just write a function definition with type hints and a docstring, and @vibe will do the rest. It's the ultimate tool when your need for speed outweighs your fear of AI spaghetti code.

🛠️ Features

  • AI-Powered Function Generation: Automatically generate function implementations using LLMs
  • Persistent Caching: Generated functions are cached locally to avoid redundant API calls between runs.
  • Async and Sync Support: Works with both def and async def functions.
  • Simple API: Just add the @vibe decorator to your function stubs
  • Test-Driven Generation: Use the @vibe_test decorator to validate, generate, and cache functions in a single step.

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Install the package:
pip install vibeflow
  1. Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:
export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
  1. Create a Python file with your function stubs:
from vibeflow import vibe

@vibe
def greet(name: str) -> str:
    """Return a friendly greeting to the given name."""
    pass

@vibe
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """Add two numbers together and return the result."""
    pass

# Use the functions as you would any other function
# vibe will generate the function implementation at runtime
print(greet("John Doe"))
print(f"2 + 2 = {add(2, 2)}")
  1. Run it:
python basic_usage.py

Example output:

Hello, John Doe!
2 + 2 = 4

(The exact greeting may vary depending on the AI model's response)

📚 Use Cases and Examples

vibeflow is quite versatile and can be used in different scenarios. Here are a few examples:

  • Basic sync and async functions: The most straightforward use case is to generate simple synchronous and asynchronous functions. Just define a stub with type hints and a docstring, and @vibe will do the rest. Examples.
  • Class methods: Vibe can also decorate methods within your classes to give them AI-powered capabilities. vibe is context-aware and can use other methods and __init__ properties of the class. Examples.
  • Building APIs: Because vibe can generate async functions, it can be used to dynamically define functions for API endpoints in FastAPI. Examples.
  • Function Calling for Agents: vibe can be used to dynamically define tools for AI agents, allowing them to perform complex tasks by generating and executing code on the fly. Examples.
  • Test-Driven Generation: Validate your AI-generated functions and pre-populate your cache with battle-tested code before you even run your main application. Examples.

🧪 Test-Driven Generation

vibeflow supports a powerful Test-Driven Generation (TDG) workflow. By using the @vibe_test decorator in your pytest tests, you can ensure that only validated, working code is cached and used in your application.

Here’s how it works:

  • Write a test for your @vibe-decorated function stub.
  • Add the @vibe_test decorator to your test function.
  • Run pytest.

If the test passes, the generated function is saved to the cache. If it fails, @vibe_test automatically deletes the faulty function from the cache, keeping your project clean.

For a full guide, check out the Testing documentation.

🤖 How Vibe Works

  1. When you decorate a function with @vibe, it:

    • Extracts the function's name, signature, and docstring
    • Validates that all parameters have type hints and a docstring is present
    • Sends this information to an AI model to generate an implementation
    • Executes the generated code
    • Caches the generated function for future use
    • Returns the generated function
  2. On subsequent calls, the cached implementation is used instead of generating a new one

  3. If anything goes wrong during code generation or execution, a descriptive error is raised

Cache Management

VIBE features a persistent cache to avoid regenerating functions across multiple runs. Here’s how it works:

  • Persistent Storage: Generated function source code is saved in a vibe.cache.json file. This file is created in the same directory as the script you are running, making the cache local to your project.
  • Intelligent Invalidation: The cache is smart. If you change a function's signature (arguments or type hints) or its docstring, VIBE will automatically detect the change, invalidate the old entry, and regenerate the function on the next call.
  • How to Clear: To clear the cache, simply delete the vibe.cache.json file from your project directory.

Requirements and Configuration

Requires:

  • Python 3.7+
  • An OpenAI API key

To set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
