New Feature: AI suggestions in VS Code and Visual Studio

JakubMisek

Introducing AI-powered inline code predictions enhancing productivity and code development experience for PHP. InteliPHP leverages machine learning to provide intelligent code predictions. As you type, the extension suggests relevant code completions and shows them as grey text in your editor. This feature helps you write code faster and reduces the time spent on manual typing.

Downloads

Visual Studio Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DEVSENSE.intelli-php-vscode
Visual Studio 2019 and 2022: https://www.devsense.com/en/download

The code predictions work completely offline and do not send or receive any data to the Internet.

Confirm the suggestion with TAB key, or just keep typing and it adapts. Cancel the suggestion with ESC key.

Security: The AI suggestions work completely offline, they don't send or receive any data to the Internet, and they don't store any data locally either.

Note, the feature is only available to Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio 2019, 2022 (and future versions).

Hi, The PHP Tools product is extremely fantastic. I disabled many of the PHP extensions in vs code. I just wanted give a feedback on the AI Suggestions. I found that GitHub Co-pilot much more functional because it supports many languages. Also I had messy suggestions when i use Co-pilot and AI Suggestion together.

So sorry have to opt for Co-pilot instead although i just had to pay USD 10 each month.

Cool feature, but not enough magic yet from it :) Suggestions for single lines pretty often suggest non-relevant code. Is there any ability to tune or teach it locally for my specific cases?

Also, will be good to teach this AI to auto-generate boilerplate code for the whole class, like missing properties for assigned values, compose or correct class and function descriptions, etc.

Murz Thank you, it's a start :-) false positive suggestions can be an issue and we will be improving that step by step.

At this moment, teaching on client computers is not possible, but AI should get some conventions and code style from the preceding code in the file at least if there is sufficient context.

Regarding the quote style, that should be handled better in the currently released version. Can you confirm that?

Thank you

Murz

Also, will be good to have an option to use single quotes instead of double for suggested string placeholders.
