I want to use Github Copilot with SuiteScript 🙂

I do, some of the suggestions are pretty on point

I literally cannot get it to predict

query.runSuiteQL(theQuery).asMappedResults()

I use TabNine and Mintlify, have you tried those? Mintlify is not code completion but can be very useful when looking at another persons code that's not commented and for knocking up quick comments for your own code in blocks.

I thought it doesn't work with SuiteScript. Thanks @michoel I will give it a try.

It's pretty impressive, seems to intelligently add in variables / objects as you type.

which version are you using?

ehm... the "free version" 😄

Just installed it in WebStorm... not suggesting anything 😄

It will learn

😮

Makes life a little easier viewing someone's code and they've used variables such as "hitlersHamster" 😄

I'm going to try it out, but having comments that simply regurgitate WHAT code does are not very useful comments imho

Alright Debbie Downer 🤭 If I have several thousand lines of someone else's code with precious little in the way of comments I'll take a nice generated comment than nothing 🤷‍♂️

Yes, shame on them 🙂

Lets face it there's also those in the room that would argue the code should be self explanatory. Not about to argue 🐸

that sounds like an ideal use case for a tool like this

At least function name should be self-explanatory

code should be easy to read, no doubt, so the best comments are those that enlighten on that which is important and not knowable simply by inspecting code. I guess that means humans are still useful - but too rarely write 'good' comments per this definition anyway.

Ever used JSDocs in anger to create documentation as web pages?

Sure, but no anger. NFT generated API docs are from JSDoc content

😄 maybe "use in anger" is an unfamiliar phrase. I've struggled in the past to get consistent results, not had enough time to tinker with it though tbh.

NFT is in TypeScript so it's harder to be inconsistent I guess. Have a good one!

^^ I was referring to setting up the process / templates in WebStorm don't you start getting all evangelical on me about TypeScript 😄 😄 😄 😄 cheers 😉

maybe I have it easy - with this utility I found called 'typedoc' I just generate the docs using

gulp  docs

that executes that utility against the codebase. Perhaps typedoc is doing the heavy lifting so I don't have to?
