`Programmers spend about 50% of their time actually writing code and spend the other 90% of their time debugging code` ~ programmerWhoNeedsSlee....iMeanMoreCoffee.
E.D.E stands for 'Error Diagnostic Extension', this is an extension developed by a programmer who just tired of those ambiguous and confusing error messages(@C++ 👀), tired of spending hours on sites like Stack Overflow just to find someone providing some random, outdated way to fix the error with no explanation, tired of head banging, tired of pulling my hair out(figuratively), tired of repeating the 'Oooh that's why' ~ Sheldon Cooper meme. Well that's why E.D.E was made, to utilize ai so one can become more efficient and productive. E.D.E is made to aid in your debugging process, using OpenAi's ChatGpt to look for errors in your code, and provide explanations on those errors, so you as a developer can have a better understanding on why an error is occurring and what different errors actually mean. E.D.E also provides possible solutions for errors that it finds, because it's just as important to understand how to implement a solution to fix an error.
-
Run Error Diagnostic- this command will look for any errors in the current file you are working on, explain what the error means, give a supposed reason why this error is occuring and also suggest a way in which the error can be fixed. -
Run Test- this comand runs a test on the current file, testing for errors, and also to show you how your current code is executing. -
Explain Error- this comand is used to explain an error you might not understand, or have never seen before, this comand requires you to copy-paste the error into prompt that will ask you 'Enter your error: '. -
Optimize Current File- this comand looks for ways to optimize the code in the current file you are working on. -
Add Documentation- this command will add documentation to the current file you are working on, it won't actually add it to the current file you are working on but pop up a web-view that has the documentation for your code. So you can see fit what documentation is necessary to add to your code. -
Change Your OpenAi API Key- this command allows you to change your OpenAi Chatgpt API key incase you'd like to change it at some point. -
Change Max Token- this command allows you to change your OpenAi Chatgpt API max token(the deafault is set to '1000'), 'You can think of tokens as pieces of words used for natural language processing. For English text, 1 token is approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words. As a point of reference, the collected works of Shakespeare are about 900,000 words or 1.2M tokens.

Change OpenAi Model- this command allows you to change your OpenAi ai model incase you'd like to change it at some point(the deafault is set to 'gpt-3.5-turbo'). -
Help- this command will show this very README.md as a webview if you need help using E.D.E.
E.D.E requires you to have your own OpenAi APi Key in-order to work
- To get an OpenAi API Key visit openai.com and sign up with OpenAi.
- To use the OpenAi API it does cost money(I'll let you decide wether it is expensive or not) visit https://openai.com/pricing to understand more about OpenAi's pricing options.
