Render ***plain source to software code using the Codeplain API.

Codeplain is a platform that generates software code using large language models based on requirements you specify in ***plain specification language.

Schematic overview of the Codeplain's code generation service

***plain is a novel specification language that helps abstracting away complexity of using large language models for code generation.

An example application in ***plain

To run the plain2code client, you need Python 3.11 or a later version.

Windows users: Please install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) as this is currently the supported environment for running plain code on Windows.

We are using Codeplain API Key to authorize requests to the Codeplain API. To get your Codeplain API Key, please contact Codeplain.ai support at [email protected].

In order to generate code, you need to export the following environment variable:

export CODEPLAIN_API_KEY="your_actual_api_key_here"

1. Clone this repository
2. Set your Codeplain API key as an environment variable:

   export CODEPLAIN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

3. (Recommended) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate

4. Install required libraries

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

After completing the installation steps above, you can immediately test the system with a simple "Hello World" example:

• Change to the example folder and run the example:

  cd examples/example_hello_world_python
  python ../../plain2code.py hello_world_python.plain
  

  Note: Rendering will take a few minutes to complete.

• The system will generate a Python application in the build directory. You can run it with:

  cd build
  python hello_world.py
  

• See the examples folder for sample projects in Golang, Python, and React.
