(MENAFN- The Arabian Post)

Google has unveiled Project IDX, a browser-based, AI-powered integrated development environment designed to streamline full-stack, multiplatform app development. Built on Google Cloud and powered by Codey, an AI model trained on code and built on PaLM 2, Project IDX aims to provide developers with a seamless, cloud-hosted workspace that mirrors the capabilities of local development environments.

Project IDX offers developers the ability to import existing projects from GitHub or start new ones using pre-configured templates for popular frameworks such as Angular, Flutter, Next, React, Svelte, and Vue. It supports languages including JavaScript and Dart, with plans to add Python and Go. The platform's AI features include smart code completion, an assistive chatbot, and contextual code actions like“add comments” and“explain this code.”

The IDE is built on Code OSS, the open-source foundation of Visual Studio Code, providing a familiar interface for developers. It integrates with Google Cloud services, allowing for efficient deployment and management of applications. Project IDX also includes built-in Android and web emulators to facilitate testing within the development environment.
