Collaborating with AI

Code Generation Example

// Tell AI what you want
// "Create a React component to display a list of blog posts"

// AI will generate code like this:
function BlogList({ posts }) {
return (
<div className="blog-list">
{posts.map(post => (
<article key={post.id} className="blog-post">
<h2>{post.title}</h2>
<p>{post.excerpt}</p>
<div className="metadata">
<span>{post.date}</span>
<span>{post.author}</span>
</div>
</article>
))}
</div>
);
}

Feature Implementation Example

// "Add a search feature to filter posts"

function BlogSearch({ onSearch }) {
const [searchTerm, setSearchTerm] = useState('');

const handleSearch = (e) => {
setSearchTerm(e.target.value);
onSearch(e.target.value);
};

return (
<input
type="search"
value={searchTerm}
onChange={handleSearch}
placeholder="Search posts..."
className="search-input"
/>
