Documentation AI Tools Mintlify: Auto-generates docs Swimm: Interactive documentation GitBook AI: Smart content creation Auto-Generated Example /** * Calculates the total price including tax * @param {number} basePrice – The base price before tax * @param {number} taxRate – Tax […]

AI tools can help refactor legacy code, migrate between frameworks, and modernize codebases automatically. Refactoring Capabilities Convert class components to hooks Migrate JavaScript to TypeScript Update deprecated APIs Optimize performance patterns Before and After // Before (Class Component) class Counter extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { count: 0 }; } render() { […]

AI debugging tools can analyze stack traces, suggest fixes, and even predict where bugs might occur before they happen. Smart Debugging Features Automatic error analysis Root cause identification Fix suggestions with explanations Predictive bug detection Error Analysis Example // Error: Cannot read property “name” of undefined const user = users.find(u => u.id === userId); console.log(user.name); […]

AI tools can analyze your database queries and suggest optimizations, index recommendations, and performance improvements. Query Optimization Benefits Automatic index suggestions Query rewriting for performance Bottleneck identification Cost analysis and recommendations Optimization Example — Original Query (Slow) SELECT * FROM users WHERE email LIKE “%@gmail.com” ORDER BY created_at DESC; — AI Optimized SELECT id, name, […]

Modern AI code completion goes far beyond simple word completion, understanding context and generating entire code blocks. Advanced Completion Features Context-aware suggestions Multi-line completions Framework-specific patterns API usage examples Smart Completion Example // Type: “fetch user data from api” // AI Completes: async function fetchUserData(userId) { try { const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`); if (!response.ok) […]
