Find method invocations that resemble a pattern

io.moderne.ai.research.FindCodeThatResembles

This recipe uses two phase AI approach to find a method invocation that resembles a search string.

Options​

TypeNameDescriptionExample
StringresemblesThe text, either a natural language description or a code sample, that you are looking for.HTTP request with Content-Type application/json
intkSince AI based matching has a higher latency than rules based matching, we do a first pass to find the top k methods using embeddings. To narrow the scope, you can specify the top k methods as method filters.5

Parameters​
ParameterValue
resemblesHTTP request with Content-Type application/json
k4
Before​
import kong.unirest.*;
class Test {
    void test() {
          Unirest.post("https://httpbin.org/post")
                  .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                  .body("1")
                  .asString();
    }
}
After​
import kong.unirest.*;
class Test {
    void test() {
          /*~~>*/Unirest.post("https://httpbin.org/post")
                  .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                  .body("1")
                  .asString();
