As we've seen the rise of smart autocomplete features in traditional IDEs, I've been wondering if similar functionality could be implemented in visual development environments like FlutterFlow. But instead with code, with the editor itself.
For example, having a loop that iterates through a list, and does operations to each element of the list, is something that might be used with certain frequency in different projects. You need to create the loop counter, modify it, the condition...
Having predefined action chains that can pre-populate all of this for a certain functionality would mean improved dev times, that its one of the great features of FF.
And even better, having an autocomplete feature that, as you are designing (in the UI editor but also in the action flows, DB queries...), it highlights suggestions for the following steps, and allows you to approve them so they are automcopleated would feel like having the power of IA coding tools like cursor inside FF. Having the best of both worlds, visual coding and inline IA assistance.
Predefined Action Chains: Common operations like iterating through a list could be pre-populated with all necessary components (loop counter, conditions, etc.).
Context-Aware Suggestions: As you design in the UI editor or create action flows, the system could highlight suggestions for logical next steps.
AI-Assisted Autocomplete: Similar to tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor, but integrated directly into the visual development environment
How do you think such features would impact your workflow in FlutterFlow? Is somthing that could be explored in the future, or the trends and possibilities are going in another direction? What other AI-assisted features could we see integrated into FlutterFlow?
