ELITEA Code for VS Code

ELITEA Code is a visual studio extension to handle prompt-engineering based code generation using ELITEA as a backend.

Installation

Getting started with ELITEA Code is straightforward and involves a few simple steps:

  1. Open VS Code and navigate to the Extensions section.
  2. In the Marketplace, search for Elite Code and click Install.

VS-EliteaCode-Install

Configuration on ELITEA

To configure the necessary parameters for the Elitea Code extension, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings → Configuration on the ELITEA.
  2. Click the + icon to create a new token.
  3. Enter a name and set an expiration date for the token.
  4. Click Generate to create the token.
  5. Immediately copy and securely store the generated token; it will not be visible again once you close the pop-up window.
  6. From the Integration Option dropdown list, select the desired LLM model (e.g., gpt-4o-2024-11-20, gpt-4o-2024-08-06, gpt-4o, etc.).
  7. Once the LLM model is selected, the Download VS Code Settings icon will appear next to the created token.
  8. Click this icon to download the settings.json file, which contains all necessary configuration information for integration with VS Code.

Note: The settings.json file includes essential information such as Project ID, ELITEA's URL, LLM model, Integration UID, and the generated token.

Important: Alternatively, you can manually copy and paste all required parameters into the Elitea Code extension's settings in VS Code.

VS-Elitea-Config

Configuration on VS Code

Once ELITEA Code is installed, setting it up to work with your project in ELITEA involves:

  1. Open your project in VS Code.
  2. Navigate to the .vscode folder and open the settings.json file. If this folder does not exist, create it and add a settings.json file.
  3. Open the settings.json file downloaded from ELITEA .
  4. Copy all information from this file into the .vscode/settings.json file in your project. Note: Be careful not to overwrite other configurations. If previous ELITEA Code configurations exist, remove them before adding new information.
  5. Save the file. The integration settings will now be applied under Elitea Code → Extension Settings → Workspace tab.
  6. Go to Extensions → ELITEA Code → Extension Settings. Open the Workspace tab and verify that all parameters are correctly populated from the settings.json file. Note: Manual adjustments can be made if necessary.

Types of Settings in ELITEA Code

Elitea Code offers two types of settings to cater to different needs:

  • User Settings: These are global settings that apply to all sessions across any workspace, providing a consistent environment across your projects.
  • Workspace Settings: These are specific to a particular workspace, allowing for tailored configurations such as different project IDs or models, which is essential for managing separate environments or specific tasks.

The following settings are available in both tabs (which can either be prepopulated or manually configured):

Main Settings:

  • Eliteacode: LLMServer Url: Enter the URL of your LLM service provider. For connecting to ELITEA Nexus env., use https://nexus.elitea.ai/.
  • Eliteacode: LLMAuth Token: Provide your token for authentication with the LLM service provider. For ELITEA Prod env, input the generated Token.
  • Eliteacode: Project ID: Input the Project ID for the ELITEA backend.

  • Eliteacode: Display Type: Choose how the prediction results are displayed:

  • append - when you run ELITEA Predict the results will be displayed after the text or part that you have selected.

  • split - when you run ELITEA Predict the results will be displayed in a separate place (view).
  • replace - when you run ELITEA Predict the results will be displayed instead of the text or part that you have selected.

  • prepend -when you run ELITEA predict the results will be displayed before the text or part that you have selected.

  • Eliteacode Verify Ssl: Toggle this setting to verify the LLM service provider's SSL certificate. For Nexus env, keep this checkbox not selected.

  • Eliteacode: Enable: Toggle to enable or disable the ELITEA Code extension as needed.
  • Eliteacode: Debug: Toggle to enable or disable the debugging feature as needed.

Integration Settings:

Eliteacode: Select Integration: Click here to select link to select the available models from dropdown list for above selected environment. Note: After selection the corresponding information will be automatically populated for Eliteacode: LLMModel Name, Eliteacode: Integration Name and Eliteacode: Integration Uid fields. * Eliteacode: LLMModel Name: Write manually the desired LLM model name, if you don't want to preopoluate all information from . * Eliteacode: Integration Name: This is the integration type which is used for selected LLM model setup in ELITEA→Settings-Integrations page. Will automatically be populated and set after selecting LLM model from Eliteacode: Select Integration. * Eliteacode: Integration Uid: Enter the Integration UID from the ELITEA backend. Will automatically be populated and set after selecting LLM model from Eliteacode: Select Integration.

Advanced Settings:

  • Eliteacode: Custom Model Tokens: Set the maximum completion tokens for selected custom model. This setting defines the maximum length of the AI's generated response, measured in tokens.
  • Eliteacode: Max Tokens: Set the maximum completion tokens for selected model. This setting defines the maximum length of the AI's generated response, measured in tokens.
  • Eliteacode: Temperature: Adjust the temperature setting for the selected model to control the randomness of the output.
  • Eliteacode: Top P: Set the Top P value for the selected model. Also known as nucleus sampling, Top P offers another way to control the randomness of the output.
  • Eliteacode: Top K: Set the Top K value for the selected model. This parameter limits the AI's token selection to the K most likely tokens at each step of the generation process.

These settings ensure that ELITEA Code is properly configured to interact with the ELITEA, allowing for seamless integration and efficient use of LLM models within your projects.

Note: Restarting VS Code may be necessary for changes to take effect.
