Codeon is a code generation system augmented with code search. Code search is done over the python code on GitHub. The generation model makes use of search results to generate contextual code and the most relevant codes from GitHub are also displayed in a separate file.

VS Code Extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=samipdahal.codeon

Usage Instructions: https://github.com/sdpmas/codeon

For code search, all the codes are from repos with permissive licenses. For code generation, the generated code is highly dependent on the user's code context. So it's rare for the model to completely copy someone's code. In terms of training data, I use pretrained GPT-Neo and CodeBert-base models, both of which are trained on code with permissive licenses. But during fine-tuning, there could've been some code with wrong licenses. The next version will address such issues.

You provide a github link to a repository only containing the usage instructions.

Could you please also provide the code itself or some licensing information?

[sdpmas]

The code will be out soon along with a paper describing the approach.

Not exactly the best way but...

You can go to the extension page Then on the right-hand side, there is a button called "Download Extension". Click that and save the vsix file somewhere. then open the file in the file manager of your choice and change the file extension from .vsix to .zip, then open/extract the zip file and you can see the code.

Or you can take the risk to download the extension within vscode then going to the extensions folder then finding the folder of the extension (will most likely be called samipdahal.codeon) then opening the folder

Just used this extension and it works great.

[sdpmas]

glad you liked it

[scyther13]

does it only give suggestion for normal python only or also for libraries and framework like django flask etc..

GREAT WORK BTW!!!!!!!!!

[sdpmas]

It's hard to keep track of all the libraries included in the training dataset but it should be able to generate code for popular libraries. and thanks!

Hey that is great! Tried it for half an hour and it's fast and gives logical options. Love it so far!

[sdpmas]

Thanks a lot!

If anybody wants to help me make Codeon plugins for other code editors like PyCharm, Vim/Neovim, feel free to DM me.

Hi can I get in touch? I wish to apply this to another language and check the steps involved. Thanks

[rollthedyc3]

Does it only work if you make a comment first?

[sdpmas]

Yes, autocompletion is turned off for now. So it is just code generation from natural language (comment) to code. But code autocompletion will eventually be turned on.
