Github Copilot - Web Development
GitHub Copilot can be used for web development tasks such as creating websites, web applications, and web services. In this section, we will explore how you can use GitHub Copilot for web development tasks.
Copilot Web Technology Support
Github Copilot currently supported in following web technology frameworks.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript
Libraries like Angular, React Js, Jquery
Backend frameworks like Node js, Next js etc
Copilot For Backend Development
Copilot can help with backend developers by managing databases, handling authentication, or setting up web servers. Copilot can assist with boilerplate code, error handling, and more complex tasks. Here you can see that copilot is suggesting internal working of a server function using context from above codes.
Database Integration: Copilot can help to generate code to connect databases like SQL and MongoDB. it can write complex SQL queries or object-relational mapping (ORM) methods for interacting with databases. If you are working on Azure Data Studio for handling database, Github Copilot is available as extension in marketplace/li>
Generate Routes: Copilot can automatically generate routes for handling HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and respond to client requests in a structured way.
Authenticate Tokens: Copilot helps in setting up JSON Web Token (JWT)-based authentication systems. It can automatically generate middleware for validating tokens and handling user authentication.
Unit Testing: Copilot can generate unit tests for backend logic using frameworks like Mocha, Chai, Jest, or pytest (for Python). It suggests test cases for APIs, database operations, and business logic.
Load Balancing: Copilot can suggest how to set up load balancers or use tools like Nginx to distribute incoming requests across multiple services.
Copilot For Frontend Development
Github copilot can help frontend developers with explaining API endpoints, suggesting colors for UI and animation frames. Here you can see that we got light version of current color with a single prompt.
Custom Style Generation: Copilot can generate custom styles for buttons, forms, and components which makes styling UI components quicker and easier.
HTML Markup Generation: Copilot can quickly generate basic HTML structures such as headers, footers, forms, navigation bars, and other commonly used elements.
API Documentation Explanation: Copilot can understand API Documentation and and explain to developers, so that they can swiftly implement it in UI.
React and Modern Frontend Frameworks: Github Copilot is well versed with all the modern javascript frameworks. It can help you creating components in React, Vue, or Angular and suggest both class-based and functional components in React and can handle lifecycle methods, hooks (e.g., useState, useEffect), and props.
Testing Frontend: Copilot can generate unit tests for your frontend components using frameworks like Jest and React Testing Library (for React apps).
